I didn't really think much of it, this is par for the course with them since their Father being the lovely man he is, taught them to go fetch their own Capri Sun drinks. I settled them in for their afternoon naps, watched a little TV & decided to go fix myself a frozen pretzel for a snack.
I get my handy box of Super Pretzels out and they are thawed! I was hoping for the best as I trudged back to the freezer but nope, my worst fears were confirmed! Melted popsicles and ice cream everywhere, water floating out of the ice cube trays - what fun! Mommy brain took over and I had completely forgotten that the kids had been playing in the fridge. Immediately I think GREAT, the freezer is broke. I called my Dad near tears because we really, really cannot afford a new kitchen appliance at this time. He calmed me down a little bit & told me to go check the switches & make sure the refrigerator was turned on. Yep, dummy me didn't even think to do the obvious!
Thankfully, that is what it was... one of the darlings had turned the entire fridge off while playing with buttons. Some stuff had to be thrown out and it was a close call on the meat & chicken but for right now, things are back to normal.
I am so going shopping this weekend! Mommy needs a break & possibly a strong cocktail as well!
