have you ever had a night like this?

I have had the craziest night ever. 

It involved . . .

• a puddle the size of a small pond on my kitchen floor
• an emptying of the linen closet to clean up the small pond on the floor
• a freezer full of thawed out food
• an emergency visit from an appliance repair person at 4:45 PM
• a return visit by said person to deliver a new fridge at 5:45 PM
• kitchen counters and kitchen floors filled with food from the fridge
• a quick and very necessary cleaning of the floor underneath the fridge
• a new fridge in place and plugged in
• a quick dinner made from the unquestionable food on the counters and the floor
• a painstaking process of evaluating all food on the floor and counter
• a large garbage can filled with half the food that used to be in the fridge and the freezer
• a somewhat empty new fridge
• a sweeping and mopping of the entire kitchen floor where the food used to be
• a thorough cleaning of the counters where the food used to be
• a daughter who in the midst of all the chaos decided to turn over a full cup of milk . . . on purpose
• another daughter who asked me at least 100 times in 1 1/2 hours why we have a new fridge
• repurposing the towels used to clean up the pond to clean up the milk
• me falling on the wet spot on the floor left over from cleaning up the milk
• a full washing machine of towels

. . . and all of the happened before 7:30 PM.

Then at 8 PM, I tucked my sweet, question-asking Monkey and my lovable, milk-spilling Peanut into bed. 

We said our prayers. 

We kissed goodnight. 

And I looked at my Monkey and my Peanut, and I felt peace. 

In the midst of the chaos of the past three hours, I felt peace.

Why am I telling you all of this? 

Because I know at least one of you out there . . . probably more than one . . . knows exactly how I feel! 

And that's why I love the blogging community!

Craft on!
