Today I love linoleum floors......

My day started out pretty typical, we got ready and went to cooking class. The teacher is so good to the kids. It doesn't matter what they make, the kids love it. Then I took Cash to Smith's (last day of grapes on sale for $.99/lb) and Albertson's (last day of $.99/dozen eggs). I was at a grand total of $8 and some change when Cash said he had to go to the bathroom. So we found the bathroom at Albertson's and then I remembered I needed to check the price on the pork(and with a quick call to De'dy friend/avid couponer who is trying to save $$ like me who confirmed the price was good) tenderloins for Cash's upcoming b-day party. Well that trip to the bathroom cost me about $15.00 I did buy something I needed but I fully agree the longer you are in the store, the more you will spend.  We got home, then I tried to get Cash to slow down and put a movie on. He has been very needy so I sat with him for a few minutes. Then I went downstairs to vacuum, I heard a crash but figured Cash ran into something and didn't worry about it too much. He didn't come downstairs so I thought I had better check on him. There he was sobbing, then I realized what he did. He wanted a drink of Apple Juice, so he got his cup out and tried to get the apple juice out. I buy it by the gallon (we actually go through this faster than cow's milk), and it was the good expensive kind of juice. I guess the plastic bottles are not as rigid as we thought. The bottom shattered, yes I was looking at a gallon of juice (we had just opened it a few days ago) on my kitchen floor. Cash was so sad and scared that I didn't even have to give him a time out. He knew he had done a bad thing. I calmed him down and explained it was an accident but now we are out of juice. This made him even sadder. This was the perfect "consequences of your actions" scenario. I didn't let him know there was more in the pantry but I don't want him to think that everything is easily replacable. He begged to go to the store to get some more. I really wasn't mad at him, from seeing my friends have kids and the stories they told me I'm really lucky it hasn't happened until now. The only thing I could think of is boy am I glad we don't have tile floors yet because I would imagine juice and grout don't go well together.  The other thing is today was mopping day, we have mopped the floor an additional two times and it's still sticky. Cash learned not to get juice out by himself and I learned how many towels it takes to clean up a gallon of juice. I seized the moment and took a picture but I'm on my laptop right now and I'll have to post it later. Hope everyone else out there is having a good day!D
