Fun stuff....

Going with -it is always better to find humor in lifes "little dramas" ,let me tell you alittle story. After two full weeks of flu like sickness ,finally beginning to feel human, I go looking in the chest freezer for dinner ideas. Now keep in mind this freezer is normally plugged into an extension cord that runs under a rug across the laundry room to a socket on the far wall.(Yes I am aware of the "fire dangers" of that arrangement ,but its the only option.) So anyway I open the freezer and notice it isn't very cold right away, so I check the plug. It was dangling uselessly ,so I plug it in and return to the freezer to find dinner.Still fairly calm. Now once I start actually looking I realize there are two completely empty unopen boxes of icecream and an open sherbert (also empty) right on top. Calm begins to exit. This was followed by bags of warm chicken breasts, mushy hamburger and roast that is better left undiscribed. Next comes the fully risen yeast rolls in bags that look like one more minute and the whole room would be covered in dough. Well three bags of totally ruined food later we come to the bottom of the freezer. At this point I realize I have two inches of really nasty icecream / meat juice based slop beginning to refreeze.... because I plugged it back in. Craig quickly fixes that mistake. Kate being the best daughter ever born had been valiently aiding me in my fight with the beast. But as some of you are aware we are both alittle ....short. So eventually she ends up standing in the silly thing trying to clean it from the inside out. She looks at me and announces "We had a complete meltdown ,but its okay because we're both in agreement". This was followed with some reference to her being the "Ice Princess" (not the one from the movie) Now we are both feeling just a tad yucky.... washing ourselves may be required and for some odd reason both of us have cold feet.....And just for your information ,I am not making dinner . I am too worn out.... So how was your day?

    Daughters can truly be blessings. I hope you managed to laugh at the absurdity of the situation instead of crying at the disaster. (That's easy for me to say, right?)

    *chuckles* I'm so glad you are able to find the humor in the situation, at least! :)

    It is always best to find humor in such situations, because otherwise you'll find yourself crying. And you've got a good story out of the whole ordeal as well :P
