Why is everything leaking this morning????

I went to our local bulk store yesterday one thing I needed desperately was liquid hand soap. I debated on weather to get it there or stop at Wall-Mart on the way home. I decided this container was bigger and worth the extra few dollars so I got it there, along with juice boxes and some other snacks for the kids. When William got home from school he unpacked all the juice from the big box. They are wrapped in plastic so he used his scissors to open the plastic, then carried the individual boxes and put them in the 2 (re frig i day tors) (Williams pronunciation).

I felt the icky bottom of the soap when I bought it, but just thought it had been set down on something so the bottom was dirty. Not the case, I filled the dispenser yesterday as soon as I got home. I didn't have a place to put the big container so I set it on the side of the bathtub and went about my day. I moved the container before kids got home knowing they would knock it into the tub if I left it there. I put it in an out of the way spot on in the bathroom. This morning I woke up to find a soap puddle all around the bottle. I can't believe it leaked all over, most of the bottle is gone.

7:30 AM
I cleaned up the mess and found the itty, bitty, small, cut in the bottom corner on one side. I tipped the bottle and laid it on it's side, cut side up, on the bathroom sink, then I sent the kids in to brush their teeth. I forgot I put the bottle there, one of the kids put it on the toilet, and the other must have needed the toilet so he/she moved it to the side of the tub. How I know all this? The smaller blob that leaked onto the lid of the toilet, and the big glob running down the side of the tub!

8:35 Am
Oh it didn't end there, I got that all cleaned up and we went to get on our bikes to ride to school. We were riding by and picking up Natalie friend and her brother so William grabbed juice boxes for everyone. I told him we weren't playing now so we weren't bringing juice and I took the juice boxes away from him. As I did, I felt the wet juice running down the outside of the box! There were no straws in any of the boxes so where was the juice coming from?

I yelled "WHY IS EVERYTHING LEAKING TODAY"? William stared apologizing, I told him I wasn't yelling at him. He apologized and said "I'm sorry I think I cut it when I was putting them away".

I told him it was ok, and we were on our way.

10:00 AM
Ok the kids are at school and I'm doing some laundry and OMG what is the sticky stuff all over the laundry room floor?

10:15 AM
Ok after some searching I found out what the sticky stuff is on the laundry room floor. It's another juice box William put away. When he opened the plastic on each of the 4 packs (four different kinds of juice) he must have punctured a hole in 1 juice box in each pack, 4 boxes with scissor holes in them.

Can you see the holes in the side of the juice boxes????

1:50 PM
Hopefully all the leaking stuff is done for the day.

1:59 PM
Boy did I type to soon! William just spilled his whole cup of juice (that I had transferred from the cut open juice boxes) all over the floor! I knew I didn't mop today for a reason! Really, Really Are you kidding?

Here are a few stray pictures of the dog.

Bailey missing the kids while they were at school. He went and laid down in their room.




Bailey getting caught on the back patio table. I had to take the picture through the screen when he saw me coming to the door he got down to fast so I couldn't' get a better picture!
