For My Girls: Soaps, Suds, and Dawn

Hello Whitney, Loren, Chelsea, and last, but not least, Tracey. I am most ashamed that I haven't blogged in a while. Honestly, I get frustrated easily when writing. However, I will put it behind me. Well, I guess I should tell you guys about my first big, stupid mistake as a wife. I was doing the dishes a couple of weeks ago and I usually use Cascade for my detergent. HaHa. Not this time. I found that I had some Dawn under the sink, so I thought, "what the heck, I'll use this". Sigh. I put it in the dishwasher and I went into the living room, happy, that I had finally completed the dishes. Oh, was I wrong about that. A couple of minutes later, I looked into the kitchen and saw thousands of soapy suds coming out of the washer! It was crying out for me to stop the cycle! While slipping and sliding, I pushed the Off button and sat down, laughing, in the wet, kitchen floor. :) I wasn't even mad. I just laughed and thought what a typical situation it was. I ended up cleaning that darned dishwasher three times. But, it was funny and a great story to tell the kids someday. Andrew got home and saw me on my hands and knees and he just stared at me and said, "Is everything okay?" I laughed and explained my ordeal. He just laughed back and said, "Well, I'm just glad nothing exploded". Anyways, rule number one: always look at the label on the cleaning agent, especially if the letters are microscopic. Rule number two: never trust Dawn or anyone named Dawn for that matter. ;) Anyways, I love all of your blogs. I hope my story makes you laugh.
