Forget Chicken Soup for the Soul...

How about Broccoli-Cheese Soup for the Van? On Tuesday on the way home from picking Braden up at school, we swung by the grocery store and then to Jason's Deli to pick up some soup for our lunches. Everything was going fine until I turned the last corner from the main road onto our street. We turned, the bag tipped, I stretched... the soup came pouring out , hot steamy and cheesy all over the floor of the van... did I mention it was a 1/2 gallon container of soup?

Frantically, I start thinking of my game plan... pull into the garage to work? or work in the driveway in the sun? Obviously put Tristan down for his nap first.... What about the grocery's... do I let them sit while I clean or let the soup sit while I bring the food in and throw it in the fridge and freezer...

I picked the soup first and after thinking about it some more I left the van in the driveway. I got towels to help pick up the soup and pour it out on to the driveway... OH... did I forget to mention that the soup was HOT!? so yeah, soup all over the driveway, groceries rotting away in the car all the while Braden running around me asking repeatedly (whether I answered him or not) "Mom, what you doing? What you doing Mom?"

The van still smells funny... and not ha ha funny... more like sour milk sitting in a minivan in the sun funny... which really isn't very funny at all...

The worst part of this? NO SOUP for LUNCH!!!!

That sucks and stinks in a big way! You know how they have special cleaners that neutralize urine? They should definitely have one for milk, too!
