Spiralling because of this salsa explosion- pics

[Cordee]

I’m 8 months pregnant. And have been in a bit of a slump but decided I would get up today and deep clean my kitchen ahead of my baby’s arrival. And then reward myself with a deliveroo.

After two hours of scrubbing my kitchen - floors, cupboards, fridge etc I ordered a SALAD even though I wanted a whole pizza to myself and this happened…..I’m actually shaking with rage.

The delivery driver apologised but I didn’t think it was that bad and hardly the drivers fault. But the second I closed the door the bag’s bottom gave way and the pot of salsa exploded. Splashed all up the (newly painted) walls, radiator, shoes on shoe rack, left a trail to bin, the front of my kitchen cupboard where the bin is kept etc. it’s even stained my grout in places!

I keep going back and cleaning more and just finding more mess. The specks of chilli are really hard to pick up.

i never get angry really but l’m raging.

don’t know why im posting tbh…just needing to decompress i guess

Didn’t even enjoy the food as I was so mad. The smell in the house is horrific.

I’m saying this as nicely as possible / chill the fuck out. It’s gross and crap, yes. Will take about 5 mins to clean, you’re just spiralling because you’re tired and feel down. This isn’t the worst thing to ever happen, I promise. Clear it up with tissue and chuck straight in the bin outside, then spray down all over the floor and leave for a few minutes, have a cup of tea, then wipe it up with a cloth and chuck the cloth in the wash. Not great, but you’re losing perspective and ruining your own day and the food you were looking forward to.

That’s absolutely shit OP!

When stuff like this happens I feel like the universe is fucking with me 😅

I shouldve just spent another day in bed and made porridge like I normally would.

I’ve been feeling low as it is

I wouldn’t be half as hacked off had I not just scrubbed my kitchen/downstairs. My back was killing me

Omg I feel you
I threw a pot with a small amount of tomato sauce at the bin last week while cleaning the fridge...it hit the edge and splattered everywhere...house is painted in stupid white that shows every mark...I wanted to cry! Like pp said sometimes the universe can be a total dick.

Order the pizza!!

I remember dropping a 4 pint of milk when I was 8m pregnant with DC3, It was full and the milk ended up everywhere - all up the and even on top of cupboards (how??)

It's been almost 8 years and the memory still upsets me. I was at home with a poorly 5yo and a 3yo with cabin fever so didn't even have the option to fuck off to bed or have a good old sob!

Clean it as best you can and take yourself off to bed for a lie-down.

Once when I was stressed out trying to make some sort of goth birthday cake for my then young teenager, my arsehole of a cat brought a live rat into the house through the cat flap. I had my hands covered in black food colouring, totally forgot, started chasing the cat and rat down the white hallway, when the cat obviously still wanted his rat, grabbed him and ran up the stairs.

I hate rodents. It was only after I eventually got the cat and rat back out the back door that I realised I had left black handprints and smudges all the way up the hallway, up the stairs, along the upstairs hallway, on each door as I pulled the doors shut in a panic.

I have never felt so defeated. I sat on the stairs and cried. I had to repaint everything.

So you have my sympathies OP. Wish I could send you a giant pizza!

I can imagine it's so annoying at the time but you need to learn to let these things go.

I'm going to be honest with you...you have a baby on the way and babies & toddlers are messy

Now having a child is the best and I love my 4 year old more than life itself but they will poop/wee on you/your floor, draw on walls/doors because even though YOU can never find a pen in your house your child can! They will spill their food everywhere no matter how many times you ask them to sit nicely and be careful, they will knock your drinks over but only when the cup is FULL, they will come home and projectile vomit the THREE BOWLS of vegetable soup they had at nursery across your entire corner sofa down every crevice (2 years later I still can't get that image out of my head) and they will leave sticky handprints all over your freshly painted walls...these are just a few of my experiences 😂

In a couple of years when your deep into motherhood a bit of spilt salsa won't seem so bad!
