Show me the silver lining...

Today I spilled a huge industrial sized jar of salsa. The lid wasn't screwed on tight, I shook it...you can fill in the rest of the details.
So, as my lunch cooled, and I spent the next hour cleaning the one thing I didn't need to clean today, I decided to look for the positive. Here's my list.

• The floor is now cleaned in a five mile radius of the spill site. (okay, so the five mile thing is an exaggeration, but you would not believe how far salsa can travel when it is shaken)
• If the floor were carpet, I would have a huge salsa stain...I love my wood floor. (I can even identify all the little scratches and dents now, I got an extra close look today.)
• My refrigerator is now clean, inside and out...it was open when the accident occurred (in case you wondered, the fridge was also not on the "to clean today" list).
• While I was on the floor, I decided to clean the bottom of the cabinets...wow, those things get gross.
• I wasn't hungry for chips and salsa when I finished...go weight loss?
• Why burn candles? My house now smells like Pace Picante Sauce...wahoo!
• The kids were asleep when this went down...at first, it looks like a total bummer that I had to spend precious nap time cleaning up the famous spill of July 2008 (we have a big one every month or so). But when you think of having four little feet spreading salsa to places that it didn't reach on it own, it's a silver lining. Plus, the nerves (that were already shot) couldn't take "Mom, is that salsa?" "Mom, what happened?" "Mom, can I help you?" "Mom, what does 'S*@#!' mean?"
