A Disaster!

So, disaster struck last night like never before! It started off with Clint and I talking while Ethan and Haylee were in Ethan's room playing ... unnattended (that was a mistake) as all of a sudden, we hear Haylee cry, so we rush over to hear whats the matter, and she is fine ... but the room is FAR from okay. You see, we have a little pet named "mickey" (Ethan named him since he liked Mickey mouse) and he's a hampster - and apparently, Haylee thought it would be fun to knock the cage over onto it's side on the floore, while Ethan poured water all over the poor little thing and soaked it while it's house was practically upside down. So we come into the room, to find the cage on the floore with the stuffing all over with the food and poo/pee to go with it, ALL OVER THE ROOM, literally on everything, making it beyond germ city, and a super duper scared hampster hanging on for dear life at the top of his cage soaking wet and cold. So, Clint and I both freaked out a little bit and I rushed the kids into the bath to "disinfect" their bodies, and while they were in the bath, and I could hear them next door, I went in to tackle this mess that literally made me cry because it was so horrid. Meanwhile, as the children were unattended for the second time (2nd mistake) I walk in to check on them (because they sounded fine ... but I still wanted to check) and I see two inches of water ALL over the floore in the bathroom!!! How did they do that so fast?!?!? So, I felt like I had a heart attack last night, and after all that was done, little things still continued to happen, so it was a difficult night and I'm SO happy to say that last night is over, and we have a fresh new day to deal with. :)

P.S. oh ya, and I'm not going to let the kids in the room until I get the carpets professionally cleaned - because the entire floore was covered in who knows what, and everything. So that concludes my night & I hope you enjoyed this sad, but true story :) lol

Sorry you had such a rough evening yesterday! Those messes definitely don't sound fun to clean up. And poor little Mickey - I hope he has recovered from the traumatic experience. :)
