What a freaking morning

This morning started out great. Since the kids don't have school today we just lounged around in bed. Maddux got up at 7 and then laid in our bed with us watching Blues Clues. Ava didn't get up until after 7:30 and at that point we all finally got up and moving. I brought the kids downstairs for breakfast. As I was putting the milk back in the fridge things turned bad. I put the milk in the door shelf it shares with our tea pitcher. As the door was closing though something went awry. I turn as I hear plastic hitting plastic knowing the door wasn't closing properly. What I didn't expect to see though was the entire shelf holding the milk (3/4 full) and the tea pitcher (newly filled full) falling out of the fridge. It all fell in slow motion... the lid came off the tea and tea went everywhere. I watch the milk jug bounce off the bottom of the fridge and then roll to the floor. I kept waiting for the lid to pop off, but the one good thing about it all is that the milk held tight.

I have no idea how the shelf fell. It's not broken at all. I still don't really know what made the shelf fall. Something must have made it lift up since that's the only way to get it out. Oy. I had tea all the way from the fridge to halfway to the sink. I just stood there staring at it at first. I didn't even know where to begin. How do you clean that much liquid off your floor?

I got it all cleaned up, though I'm still going to have to mop over it with clean water again. I had Kevin pull the fridge out. Fortunately not much ran under the fridge. I still need to clean up back there though. I have a million damp dust bunnies waiting for me. :)
