Did you ever have "one of those days"?

OK.  I know I am getting older, but in this case, that is no excuse. I was cleaning the house the other day - actually doing dishes. I loaded the dishwasher and noticed that I was out of Cascade dishwasher soap, so I looked through the bottles under my sink to see if I had a different kind. I found a sample bottle of another brand and squirted it into the dishwasher soap dispenser, then turned on the water saver mode. While the dishes were washing, I filled the sink and began washing those dishes that can't go in a dishwasher. A little while later, I glanced at the dishwasher. I couldn't believe my eyes! Soap suds were pouring out of it all over the floor. I felt like Lucille Ball in one of her I Love Lucy episodes. Of course, I looked at the bottle of dish washing liquid that I had used. Yup, it was concentrate, and I had obviously used way too much. To put a positive spin on this act of utter stupidity, my floor is nice and clean now!
