What happens when you cross-

Me with an outside water hose and


Ethan with an inside sink sprayer???
A BIG FAT MESS!!!

Here is the story- I had just finished mowing the lawn front and back, so I was ready to go inside and take a shower- I was very dirty- and hot, and sweaty and sticky- in 97 degree heat! I thought, before I get all clean- I'll water my flowers in the back yard. I turned on the hose and saw Ethan up on the kitchen sink washing his hands and I sprayed the window from the outside to scare him. The kids get a kick out of me doing this, because the water doesn't actually get on them and they think it is funny! After I see him having a good laugh I go and start watering my plants. TEN MINUTES LATER... I'm done- and I go to turn the hose off (which is in front of the kitchen window) , and I see ETHAN with the water sprayer TRYING to "spray" me through the window!! INSIDE THE HOUSE!!! I instantly shout out NO!!! And run inside and don't forget- I'm dirty, sticky, sweaty, etc... and that doesn't match well with a NOW flooded kitchen- from the counter tops spilling onto the floor. So, my bare feet and dirty hands are now trying to clean up a wet kitchen- so now there is mud everywhere too! It was GROSS! I was in TEARS!!- Literally-- I was so mad- because I had just cleaned my entire house and was finishing up a quite productive day from outside and come to find my kitchen underwater- mixed with my dirt.
Usually I wouldn't be THAT upset- but it seemed like something had happened everyday for the past week that made me cringe and I guess it was just building up! I mean- I didn't even get mad when I had mopped up the floor and splat goes a 64 oz. diet coke Chet left out on the counter, which the kids then moved to their little table, to which Minnie then could reach and pulled over and spilled it on my mopped floor- THEN, after that was mopped up- Ethan dropped a brand new HUGE jar of applesauce all over the floor- which glass broke everywhere and applesauce splattered everywhere too- and THEN, after THAT was mopped up- I open the fridge and one of the handles from inside the fridge broke off and my Worcestershire sauce fell on the floor and broke and that spreads faster then anything else I have EVER seen! It is like a mini flash flood when that thing breaks and spills! (it is the 2nd time to have happened- now I have to go buy ANOTHER thing of Worcestershire sauce.) - So- I guess slowly things were building up- and I needed to cry when I saw my kitchen covered in water and dirt, and bits of grass, etc...

On a LIGHTER note:)
