Another Mother's Day ..Well, I qualify since I have four lovely children...and even more so if you include our equally lovely grandchildren. They are coming over to take Ken and I to a Mother's Day luncheon. Yeaaaa, I don't have to cook!
This morning didn't start out well though....our grandson Andrew had been visiting last night, and I had forgotten how much he likes to twirl dials and punch buttons....especially in the kitchen. I decided to eat lightly so put two slices of raisin bread into the toaster and walked over to pour myself a cup of tea...
Phew, something was burning! My toast was toasted to a nice dark black cinder! Andrew had obviously been fooling around with the dial and had moved it from normal/medium to the highest setting the little toaster had. Smoke and burnt toast....great...
I went to the kitchen cabinet grabbed the Glade air spray and started spraying the kitchen, living room and hallway. "Hmmmm the aerosol container must be nearly empty since spray is coming out, but I can't smell the fragrance" About that time I slipped on the slate hallway. In fact, I could have ice-skated all the way down the hallway.
I must have muttered fairly loudly, some un-motherly words because Ken came into the room and asked what was the matter. He looked at the container of Glade in my hand....surprise, it was not Glade, it was my aerosol can of Olive Oil No-Stick Cooking Spray.
Yep, I had sprayed the kitchen, living room and hallway with greasy, oily no-stick spray. The furniture looks okay, the overstuffed chairs and couch look to be spray-free, but the slate floor sucked up the oil like a magnet. And WOW, is it ever shiny!
