Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I'm sure once I sit here & type this all out, it won't seem nearly as bad as it did in the midst of it all. But anyway....here goes. This was going to be a totally lazy, relaxing day.....I only planned on making a run to the dump & doing the necessary laundry.....other than that, I just wanted a day to chill. Well, it started out nicely.....me messing around on the puter with my cup of coffee while the kids all slept in. When I finally decided it was time to head up to the shower....Ashley asked me if I knew that the deer meat in the frige was dripping all over. See, the other day the boys had bagged up a shoulder & something else that still needed to be cut into steaks or ground for burger & it was put in there to wait til after Christmas. Not sure if the bag got a hole or just what but there was nasty deer meat drippings ALL over in the frige. NOT how I had planned to spend my lazy Saturday morning. I had to pull EVERYTHING out....shelf by shelf.....& clean it all. Even the two bottom drawers. I kept reminding myself that instead of grumbling I should be thankful that I had meat in my frige, that I had a nice frige to clean out, that I was actually able to clean my frige. All I can say is that my frige is nice & CLEAN now!! So, off to the shower I go....then out to the dump & Dollar store....back home to have a nice left-over turkey sandwich on rye & then I was going to scrap some. NEXT catastrophe.......I was sitting here at the puter after eating my late lunch, just chillin' when I heard this awful noise. The girls had gone to clean Jonsie's (the rabbit)cage......I knew what I heard was the plastic cage bottom falling down the steps & my heart just about stopped.....I was terrified that Alli had fallen.....most of you understand our paranoia about stairs. I run into the living room to see Alli sitting at the top of the stairs with the cage bottom at the bottom of the stairs. She had slipped & sat down on her butt.....unhurt....Praise the Lord.......but what I beheld as I stood there trying to get my heart to slow down was just totally insane. Now as I type this I wonder why I didn't take pictures first....guess I was just too shaken up. But picture wood chips & rabbit terds ALL over the place! I mean down the stairs, on the piano, down under the Christmas tree. I think the wood chips & terds must've multiplied like the rabbits do! I just couldn't imagine how ALL of that came from one stupid little rabbit cage! So I set about sweeping, vacuuming & mopping.....behind the little bookcase at the bottom of the stairs, behind the piano, under the tree. Needless to say, my living room is now VERY clean too! Sigh......I think I'm just gonna fix me a nice hot cup of Tension Tamer tea now & go curl up in bed with my book & pray that tomorrow will be a better day! ;-)

Amy,
This day needs to go on TV somehow. It would have won an award I am sure!! I laughed and laughed as I read it. I know all the feelings you were experiencing as each thing happened though weren't so great. I think the terds on the stairway was the best. You hang in there girl! and enjoy your clean house! LOL Love you! :)
