There's No Use Cryin Over Spilled Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper

Let me start off by saying I'm not an overly emotional person. I'm usually pretty stoic, and don't tear up very easy. Let me also say that my very wise friend, Melanie (whose blog I'm still waiting for-hint, hint), told me that my hormones were going to be screwed up for awhile after the whole miscarriage thing. Good to know. Yesterday was just another day. Dylan was at school while me and the kids were home. It was the usual day with Abbie using her very vivid imagination to make up games. I'm so glad she is able to entertain herself, but it usually means I have a houseful of stuff to put away. After a morning of putting all that stuff away after countless role playing games. Abbie decided she was going to have a tea party with me and her stuffed animal friends. She got everything set up with the cups and the animals and was waiting for me to come downstairs. All of the sudden, I was upstairs and heard this somewhat loud bang and whooshing sound. I walked downstairs to find what was an entire 2 Liter of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper spraying all of the kitchen. It was literally half way gone before I picked it up. I looked around at the utter destruction of the reddish brown splatter marks all over the floor, walls, cupboards, fridge, table, everywhere and started to cry. I know how dumb. I couldn't believe it myself but I actually cried over a mess. Then Abbie, who has a heart of gold and hates to see me sad, started to cry and apologize over and over and over. She explained to me that she got the drink out of the fridge and dropped it and for some reason it hit the floor just right and decided to spray everywhere. I felt bad that she felt so bad. So, I spent the next hour cleaning up the mess and detailing every surface in the kitchen. Now all is well and I'm feeling much less emotional about it. All I could think is "there's no use crying over Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper"-I was right about that!
