This is the first day back after a wonderful Spring Break spent with my family. We had such a wonderful time and I had no interest in getting back to the real world. However, when that silly little alarm goes off you must listen.
I took the kids to school and then returned home for a day of cleaning because well, just because I should. The oven had a spill in it a week ago and the smell every time I turned the thing on was driving me crazy so I thought Hey, I'll clean it. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I took out the racks and set the oven to clean and went about the general cleaning of the kitchen. At one point I glanced over to the oven and thought....that's odd. Yes, the thing was on fire. Roaring fireplace right there in my kitchen. Only, I don't have a fireplace in my kitchen. I turned it off and the flames died down. I thought great I've ruined my oven.
Well, good news. Once it cooled down I took one of those magic eraser thingys to the mess and by golly, nothing came off so I tried it again and what do you know the thing looks brand new!!! Yay!!! You can't even tell there was a raging inferno in it just hours before.
I'm not sure why I'm sharing this. Just kind of set the mood for the gigantic spider, my daughter taking a swing to the mouth, my son having a meltdown for no apparent reason, and all in all just being a craptastic day.
I will say, I'm alive, I'm loved, I have food on the table and a roof over my head. Life is good! It's just kinda hard sometimes. :)
