Slippery when wet

So this was me Saturday afternoon, and a sign would have been helpful. Saturday afternoon I decided to bake some cookies. It was all going really well up until I took the first batch out of the oven.

 While I was mixing the batter the boys were playing and it was still a little warm, so they were drinking lots of water. They have their own little cabinet were they can get their own cups/plates/bowls. They really like to get their own water from the refrigerator...they both can reach the dispenser on the refrigerator door. It seems on Saturday they thought it would be fun to spill the water all over the kitchen floor, mostly in front of the table and frig. This makes for a pretty slippery surface on a linoleum floor, and since it was water I didn't realize it was wet.

As I got the first batch of cookies out of the oven I had my cooling rack set up on the table. I grabbed one of my oven mitts that is not very thick (so if your holding a hot sheet of cookies from a 375 degree oven your hand gets hot pretty quick), and was hurrying to the table because my hand was starting to burn. This is when I hit the nice puddle of water my precious boys put out a few mins earlier. Since I was in the house I was barefoot as well, this led to a pretty hard fall. As soon as my left foot hit the water I wiped out and my backside hit the floor and my head whipped backward and hit the floor as well. I must admit I was a little dazed at first and the boys came in from the family room wondering what had happened. As I laid there in the puddle of water I thought wow that really hurt, but what happened to the cookies? I not sure how because it all happened so fast the tray was sitting half on the table so my hand must have shot out and let go of them. Since I was pretty close to the table it just must of been where they happened to land. So at least I didn't get burned from the hot pan of cookies, one positive note. 

After getting up a little sore and getting a little bit of a headache, the boys cleaned up their puddle. We had a little lesson on not dumping our water out on the floor, and that it is to drink and not to play with. And if we do spill we need to get it cleaned up so someone.... doesn't get hurt. I think/hoped they learned because they were pretty concerned about me. I was pretty sore and stiff on Sunday/today and probably for a few more days along with some developing bruises but other then that I'm doing pretty good!
