I have a condition. At our home, we call it the “Melsease”. It’s dropping and spilling and breaking everything in sight! It seemed like for a while, I’d do it all of the time! I’d spill juice pitchers as I’d get them out of the fridge, break casserole dishes, drop candles and crack the glass, spill the box of cereal all over the floor and more. I was getting frustrated with myself for a while. One occasion recently, I spilled our over-sized salsa jar all over the floor. It spattered everywhere, to the point where I’m still finding dots of salsa on the wall or behind the fridge! It got all over my clothes and Emma’s clothes, on the cabinets, on the floor, the walls, everywhere, except for in my mouth. I got so mad at myself and grumbled because similar things had happened many times that week. Emma got kind of scared that I got upset, I felt really bad after and apologized. But Dave came in, and said “Hey honey, let’s salsa!” and started doing some funny dances, and also asked later “Hey, where are the chips?” Then he started to clean up, as I just stood there not knowing where to begin. I’m glad he had a sense of humor about it, because I sure didn’t then. But I’m grateful for his light-heartedness and helping me to see the bright side of things when I get down sometimes! He also took some pictures, he thought it would be funny. I didn't think it was, at least then. But now I can laugh about it.
Splat!
The look that says it all!
This past week, Emma was getting out some Nesquick powder to make some chocolate milk, when it spilled all over. Luckilly, I’m getting better at laughing about it. Emma and I just giggled, and Emma saw nothing wrong with eating the chocolate powder off the floor! She ran before I could catch her, and was grabbing all of the chocolatey powder goodness she could fit in her hands and ate it. It was pretty funny. We just had fun playing in it, but I decided I’d better clean it up before it got tracked all over the house! Dave thought it was halarious when I showed him the video and pictures. We had a great time, and I've learned my lesson lately not to cry over spilled milk!

Wow, I'm just waiting for that day! Hope it's not too soon! Motherhood is wonderful; still sore so I can't do much, but I love spending all day with her! I don't want to go back to work even though I still have another month off. Sounds like you guys are doing well.
Emma is so darn cute. I remember you telling me the salsa story. The pictures speak louder though. priceless.
I hate when I'm clumsy too! I love how cute Dave is about it though - it helps you not get even more mad or frustrated. I'm glad you got pictures - oh cute Emma! We need to get together really soon, I'm sad I missed out on the Treehouse today. I haven't been feeling hot at all. :(
I need to ask you a favor next time we are together though.....:)
That is so funny! Those pictures of Emma are adorable too! What a little cutie!
Ha ha, I love the video of Emma. She is so cute. I love her little voice saying see ya later alligator. I'm the same way with spilling things! It gets frustrating sometimes doesn't it! It's good you have such a good attitude :).
