Monday ... Monday ...
I do hope everyone had a nice weekend. I know Mother's Day is difficult for some and I pray that you still found peace and calm in the day.
We are still hunkered down at home. Hopefully Dave is getting his "sea legs " back again so he can be mobile and going about his business.
We stayed home and did our celebrating for Mother's Day with phone calls and texts from family and friends. I even ordered pizza for our dinner. We haven't done that in months. I sure didn't want to cook !!! Especially after the Mother's Day Gift I got.
Yesterday afternoon I put a load of clothes in my washer and went about my business.
When the cycle was finished I went into our laundry room to put said clothes in the dryer.
Here's what greeted me ...
I had bought a brand new 4 gallon jug of Oxi Clean detergent just the day before.
How the jug fell off the washer and onto the floor I can't quite figure out.
I lost 3/4 of the very thick and slippery soap and the lid to the container.
Got out some old beach towels and mopped it up. What a job ! First I had to remove clothes I had hanging on the rack which the soap was covering the bottom rack. Ugh what a mess. It took me a very long time to clean it up and I didn't want to use any water or our whole house would have been under siege. I guess we could have said we really Live in a Bubble ... 😏
It was so frustrating for Dave too because he couldn't help me.
An hour and a half later here was the finished project...
That sure was the hard way to have a clean floor.
The soap was so strong smelling. Thank goodness we have a ceiling fan in there.
Now all the towels I used are out draped over the garbage cans and rungs of the outside ladder. I don't know if I will ever get all the concentrated soap out of them.
Here's the "Bad Guy" .
What a way to celebrate Mother's Day !!!
At least it gave me some Blog Fodder 😁
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

Sorry that happened on Mother’s Day. The floor really looks clean though.
Oh Sue, you are so funny. I love that you can laugh when facing that kind of desaster. Wow, that is really a clean floor. I don't buy in bulk anymore, as I just can't lift heavy up and down stairs to the laundry room, so I use pods. Praying that soon Dave will be well enough to lend a hand.
OMG, I'm so sorry that happened to you. What a mess. I would not like cleaning that up. Looks like you did a great job. At first I thought something was wrong with the washing machine. Glad your machine is okay.
That was not a very nice Mother’s Day for you, but you sure do have one memorable story to tell, Sue.
Oh no! I feel your pain as I had that happen to me about a year ago. Soap is so hard to clean up! I use the pods now - no mess if I drop them. :)
I'm glad you ordered pizza and didn't cook after that.
OH MY GOODNESS! THAT WAS ROUGH. I might know how it happened because I had a similar, but not as bad experience - you said it was on top of the washer - were you using it - it could have vibrated it off.
