Too Far Gone...er too LONG gone

When I left home a week ago Wednesday, I was in an awful flap to get my car loaded and get on the road.... I had to drop my son at a Dr's appt in Hamilton... and I had been given STRICT orders to have him there on time ( not that that would ever be a CONCERN with me... Mr Punctual, they call me )

anyway.... i was in a mad rush.....and I knew I would be gone for 9 or 10 days.... so I was stressed about not forgetting anything....

When I went to put the Coffee tin back in the freezer, I needed to make room and apparently decided to rearrange things..... at least that is what I assume...... cause when I got home 9 1/2 days later ..... we couldn't get the fridge door to open.. or the freezer door for that matter..... looking up on top of the fridge, we saw a cardboard ice cream container sitting on top of the fridge....

and looking down, to the floor, we saw THIS.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaThis picture is hard to see.... but the cream and the syrup from the ice cream had melted and drained out.... all down the inside of the door of the fridge and freezer... leaving behind what seemed like a compact brown and white brownie textured substance.... ugh......
When the fridge door finally opened, we found the syrup had hardend and was literally like sticky hard taffee ..... I peeled some of it off with a knife....The syrup on the floor was just as hard... when you look at it, the brown syrup looks wet I assumed I could clean it up with a mop... but it was actually as hard as glass .... ugh....... I scraped some of it up with a frying pan flipper....then poured hot water on the rest of it, to melt it so we could mop it up....

the floor, has been sticky all weekend... Finally after washing it two or three times, I mopped the whole room last night and that has seemed to stop some of the sticky.......

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...... I guess I'll either have to be gone less time, or perhaps... ( horror of horrors... ) be a little more organized when I leave, next time!!!
