We have had crazy weather here too, the weekend was shorts and tee weather then yesterday it was gloves and hat weather

Hello All!
You're not kidding about our crazy weather. We were in shorts on Monday

and then bundled up in jackets on Tuesday.

Bill is still in Washington. We've been keeping busy this week thus far. We had a CRAZY day around here on Monday.

Will and I had a dentist appointment to get our teeth cleaned. I got everyone into the car and then realized I wanted a bottle of water for the drive. So, I went back into the house, grabbed a bottle, turned on the alarm, locked the door and then slammed the door shut. I got back into the van and at that moment I realized what I just did. I left my keys on the counter in the kitchen.

I knew all the doors were locked. But of course I had to try anyways. Then, I called Bill to see which window he didn't like. I was going to break a window to get in. However, he was in a meeting and didn't answer his phone. Of course this had to happen when Bill is out of the
state.

I gathered my composure and finally rationalized it would be cheaper and easier just to call a locksmith. So, I called information (I left my phone in the car luckily) and said give me the first name under locksmith for my city. I called the guy and pleaded to get here quickly. It was a nice day here on Monday. So, the kids played outside while we waited. He was at my home in
ten minutes.

I went to put Cole in his carseat while the man headed towards the door. I had Cole half in the seat when I hear my alarm system beeping. He got into the house within
five seconds of standing in front of the door. I made a mad dash to the alarm system before it went off. On my way, I fell over a satellite dish, two scooters and a box. I fell hard. Then, I got up and fell again. I was in a clumsy state. I limped to the alarm with like three second left. The locksmith kept asking me if I was okay, because I fell pretty bad. It wasn't funny at the time. But, when I think back I have to laugh because I must have looked like an idiot. One thing that really scared me was how quickly he was able to unlock our door. When Bill comes home I want a deadbolt on the door from the garage to inside the house. We have a deadbolt on the front door and back door. I am glad we have the alarm system and our DISdog. JJ was barking at the locksmith. So, I feel safe that if someone does ever try and break into our home, they may think twice with the alarm system and a barking dog. In the end, we did make it to the dentist appointment and both now have sparkling teeth.

So, that was my lovely Monday. What a way to start the week.

More to come . . .
