frozen pizza...epic failure (UGH)

Each week Jon and I do our grocery shopping for the week and try very hard to never return again during the week (it's amazing how much money you save by only making ONE trip to WalMart). Well, I always try to throw in one "simple" dinner that is quick and easy since Jon has to leave for church early on Wedensday for practice. Last night was our 'simple" dinner night and we had frozen pizza. I wish I could say it went well and it indeed made dinner simple.....however.....that was not the case. I would first like to point blame at the pizza and take no responsiblility for myself. With that being said, the pizza box said to place the pizza on the rack inside of the oven. Not rocket science but still a direction so I chose to follow it. After placing the pizza in the oven and setting the timer I walked away in confidence that dinner would be ready in approx. 24 minutes. After about 10 minutes Jon said he smelled smoke and thought the pizza was burning. Of course I quickly say, "Oh no my love that cant' be....it still has at least 14 minutes left-you're so silly! Just let me cook dinner and you get ready for practice" (what a good wife I am right?!?!) Well, just as I'm saying all this Jon opens the oven door and a HUGE cloud of smoke comes drifting from it and fills my kitchen, which then fills the great room...and the rest of the house (sometimes a very open floor plan is NOT a good idea). You must be thinking, What happened to the pizza??? Apparently, the frozen pizza is juicey and now those juices have leaked onto the bottom of my oven and are creating a big burnt mess! UGH! A note to the pizza people: Please do not instruct me to place the pizza on the rack in the oven if it is only go to OOOZ with juicey pizzaness all over it. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Although there was now smoke filling my house and I had to open all windows in order to let it escape...we stil couldn't eat because the pizza had not finished cooking. Oh frozen people what a web of trouble you have spun for me! At last the timer goes off and I hurry and remove the pizza from the oven only to find it is now a little crispy around the edges-Oh my! So, to recap, last night, our simple dinner turned into a smoke invested, crispy edged frozen pizza that has left me no choice but to deep clean my oven today. Thank you pizza and thank you pizza making people for this simple frozen dinner that has now taken me longer to prepare and clean up after then a three course meal. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
