My mega mess


So last night I was finishing dinner preperations at home when I got a call to help someone load something at church they were taking out of the youth room. It was perfect timing since I had just put dinner in the oven and it was going to be 15-20mins before it was done. So I headed over to church and started moving couches out of the youth closet of doom before the people arrived. I was about done with the last couch when it knocked over a cooler that has apparently been in the closet well before I got here. Why do I know that? Well because it opened up and every soda can in it not only hit the floor but immedietly shattered open, spilling their lovely fermented wettness all over the carpet. Now, to make things all the more fun this was about 45 minutes before I had to be at a meeting, so I spend about 30mins on my hands and knees (luckily with some help) trying to soak up fermented soda (did I mention the cooler was totally full?). Now I'm down to 15mins and smell like fermented soda, which happens to smell quite similar to beer, so yeah probably don't want to go to the elder's meeting like that. Now before I can leave I had to move a couch out of the hallway into a classroom, which normally would not have been a big deal. Except this was a hide-a-bed couch. And of course with Murphy's law in full swing the bed totally came out from under the couch. So here I am holding up this couch and the bed has fallen out and is on the floor. Now we're at about 10mins before meeting time. Fortunately my anger allowed me to have an incredible Hulk moment, forcing the bed up through the couch long enough to throw the whole thing in the classroom, shut the door, turn off the lights, and run out of the building before anyone got there. Then I went home and took a shower by dumping about a 1/4 bottle of shampoo on myself. Amazingly I was only a minute late getting back to church and smelled like shampoo and not fermented soda. Yeah crazy things happening!!!
