Do you know how much surface area a gallon of milk covers? Well trust me when I tell you that you don't want to know. I thought I was getting ahead by running to the grocery store right before dinner time, especially since I only had one kiddo with me. The shopping went well -- five-year-olds can be really helpful when they're with mom one on one. And I was getting everything I need for this week's menu. Yay! Except five-year-olds are also prone to clumsiness. Hence, the gallon of milk that slipped out of Carter's hands and immediately burst open when it hit the ground. Let's just say that the spill extended past the gum and candy bars to the beginning of the checkstand, and was starting to drown me where I stood, next to the counter, trying to quickly unload the cart so we could get it out of the way. The clerks were sweet and helpful, and even got me a new milk to replace the one covering the floor. I was oh so apologetic and felt bad about all the trouble. And really, that's all I needed to cap off my Monday.
Here's to hoping tomorrow goes better........

Just be glad it happened in the store and not in your kitchen!! Temporary embarrassment, but then someone else got to clean it up!
Good point, Becky. I'd much rather let them clean it up!
Seriously!! I was so relieved to hear it happened at the store where there are plenty of employees to clean it up!! Nice timing cArter!
agreed! I had an awesome experience at Costco which included a helpful 3 year old and 5 pounds of blueberries rolling every which way. That was awesome.
Sorry but that is so funny--my Carter was carrying a gallon of orange juice down the aisle and accidentally let go of it as he was swinging it and it "bowled" about 15 feet! Orange juice everywhere! We laugh a lot about it now and tease him that he went bowling at Winco! These are memories you will laugh your head off at ....later! Hang in there!!!
