One would think...

My day today started out like most... The kids usually get up early. They're like little roosters...they wake up way to early, hungry and pecking and all. Like usual, they all curled up in front of the TV with bowls of cereal and juice. I walked around the house for a few minutes, surveying the damage....oh what to do first. Pack more boxes, nope...do more laundry, nope....maybe dishes. Counters wiped, check. Dishwasher loaded, check. Dishwashing detergent in...crud...how could I be out of dishwashing detergent? I really need to just get these done. No time to run to the store now. So, being the brilliant person that I am, I go with plan B. A little liquid dish soap in the cup should do the trick...
Now, I know that most of you are already saying, "Oh no she didn't..." OK, so apparently I didn't get that memo, 'kay. One would think that I would know that this was a really bad idea. I already knew I was in trouble when I could hear a rather muted sound coming out of the dishwasher that just.didn't.sound.normal. And, then, of course, as if off of a cue card, the bubbles started pouring out of the bottom of the dishwasher. It was just like one of those scenes from a movie...you know the one where the dumb blonde spills something on her shirt and has to wash it at her date's house and fills the washer with way to much laundry detergent. Except in that scene, it turns into a sexy suds fight that ultimately ends up with hot making out on the laundry room floor in the middle of the mess. This was so not that.
So, now I am turning my mess into "Spring Cleaning" as one of my friends suggested. I'm thinking that the house will smell really fresh when I am all done. And, my dear hubby will think that I worked really hard today!
