When you jack up the front, use a big floor jack on the front subframe in front of the oil pan to pick it up. Then, put the jackstands under the A-arm mounting points on the front subframe. Easy, secure, and doesn't damage the car.

I put a slight dent in mine once when I didn't have the jack lined up perfectly. Thank god no oil leaks resulted.

Just for future reference when you flood the car like that either get someone to run you to the store and pick up a new set of plugs and change them again or get a wire brush and hit the plugs real fast and reinstall and the car will fire right up. I know you are under stress but the couple hundred dollars you just paid to have your plugs changed seems a little more stressful than the 30-45 minutes you would have spent changing them again.
