I Need A Vacation, Stat!

So, I crawled out of bed and got us all ready to go to Disneyland the park, just like we do several times a week. It's an easy peasy routine, we all get sunlight (well, when it's out around here), a little bit of fresh air, and I can burn a few calories.

I grab kid, bag, and my beloved caffeine, DH get to take the corgis out. (he got the easier job, believe me! lol)

As DH was going out the door, I ask him if he had his cell phone and everything.

Yes, he hollers back.

Alrighty then. Door locked from the inside.

So as I am passing him on the deck to go put munchkin in the car, DH goes hang on a second, I haven't unlocked the car doors yet because my keys are still inside. Let me go get them....

WHAAAATTT????

I just asked him if he had everything!

Did I mention I don't even have a key to my own house? Yes, folks, besides the key that he had, only my parents, who are currently how many thousands of miles away, have the only other key?

Picture me standing there with a kid, two dogs at my feet who haven't even had breakfast... and then he says:

Well, can't you just call your parents and ask them to bring the key?

Seriously, he said that. Exactly like that. I think he deserves the Dumb and Dumber award of the year for that line.

Let me give you the censored version of what I said back:

Are you *bleep* serious? Because they are just *bleep* two minutes away.

*bang head* *Bang head* (I'll say a few extra Hail Marys) It's cold, I'm not that bundled up, and it's about to start sprinkling. (So much for the sun I thought we were having today?)

Next he asks if the munchkin's window is open.

Yes, dear, it's been 32 degrees overnight lately. I'm really going to leave a window open, so we can pay extra to heat the house.

Breathe in, breathe out.

***If you are my insurance company, please stop reading now. Thank you!

Apparently, the back bedroom window which I have been complaining about for months, wasn't closed properly, so it was easy to pop it open - after DH had to stand on a chair in amongst the greenery.

And balance his butt on so the chair didn't fall over, because the ground is a mess back there.

Not my problem.

Served him right.

Tomorrow I am going to go make 10 copies of that dratted key, and place one in every purse and bag I own.

(Now you know why I pay for AAA, because he does it with the car keys ALL THE TIME)

Booooo! We only have one key to the car and it has a chip in it so it costs $30 and you order and I've just been too lazy so I'm constantly...do you have the keys? Do I have the keys?

I had something similar to me happen... my son locked me out on the backporch, than closed the gate into the kitchen... so he couldn't get that. I tried using a letter opener, no dice. Go around outfront, he can undue the bottom lock. The deadbolt is on though. Get him to bring a step stool over and unlock the deadbolt. Baby on the floor not crying thank god!

And now he goes out the door sometimes since he knows about the deadbolt and how to get it unlocked. But I was FREAKING!

Picture a heavy, new fallen snow. It's covering the back porch, including my "yard" shoes which I leave out there (no shoes in the house, please, only slippers). It's morning. I'm in my pajamas and couch sack bathrobe. I think, I should go empty the snow out of my shoes, for when I have to take the trash out or something later on. And hey, why not sweep the porch off while I'm at it. Only take a minute. Done and done. Go to open storm door. Locked. Third time I've bumped the little widget that locks it from the inside while going out the door and locked myself out. But never in my bathrobe, and with a foot of snow on the ground. And snow filled shoes. But hey, DH is home, because of the snow!! Watching a video upstairs. :( Bangbangbangbangbang. Do you think he's gonna stop the movie to come down and see what the commotion is? Noooooooo. I figure I'll have to wait until he gets hungry or tromp over to the neighbors in my bathrobe in the snow. Eeevvveeennntttuuuaaalllll lyyy he came down to see what I was doing wrong that was making so much racket. Third time's the charm. I have now idiot proofed the house so I can always get back in on my own. What was I thinking, sweeping the porch in my pjs? Felt like Fred Flintstone. Well, at least DH was home... Course, DH once locked his car keys in his locker at work, twice, the day we were leaving on vacation, right after work. Other than that, I must admit, it's always me.

The only reason we've had AAA for years (ever since we got married) is because hubby does the car keys trick, too...
