Zebra Carpet

About two years after we built onto our house I decided to steam clean our rugs. In all my other rooms I used a bleach solution, we have white carpets.(Never again by the way will I ever have white carpets) . I forgot and just sped through to my next room  trying to hurry before my youngsters got home from school. Within minutes it dawned on me what I had done. My forest green , frieze carpet, that was only two years old was now stripped yellow. I had done it! I had invented a new kind of carpeting. green and yellow zebra print!! My husband was going to kill me.
   I feared the unknown. I called grandma ,who is my super hero and can normally fix about anything. She was no help. I got on Facebook. I asked all my friends. I called carpet store after carpet store asking for advice. My time was ticking away. My husband would be home in T-minus  34 minutes 6 seconds. He was going to murder me on the rug that I had just ruined!
    I made it super dark in the house that night. I prayed he wouldn't see my big mistake. He praised me for the other rooms, saying it looked so nice and smelled so good.. Lord, knows he had not seen my true work of art in the very next room.
On Saturday after our morning run to all the yard sales . He comes in and opens the curtains to the living room.  Only to see my zebra print art project, with a smirk on his face, He asks if I might have gotten a little carried away with my cleaning. I felt like digging my own hole to climb in. As I agreed. His forgiveness or lack of madness that day was a moment to remember. I had built up in my mind he was going to be angry and pitch a fit. But, in turn he said if we can fix it lets try. If not ,only our friends will see. 
    Its the little things in a relationship that help them to grow. Being kind and forgiving is the key to a life filled with love.My green and yellow carpet still remains. Only I could be so silly. Only he could love me no matter what!
