a day in our life....

yesterday mike was in the shower and i needed to get ready. the fan in our bathroom is pretty crappy so by the time you get out of the shower everything is always all steamy. so i just opened the door a crack so that it could air it out a little and the mirror wouldnt be steamy when i went to get ready.

i should have known better.

our fire alarm goes off it the steam from the shower gets to it. it has happened a few times, but last time mike just untwisted the whole thing from the ceiling. i knew that if i opened the door it would usually go off. but i thought that since it was just hanging from the ceiling that it wasnt working. wrong! i was in the bedroom and it started going off. and when one does, they all do. i walked into the hall to see if it was that one that was going off and sure enough, it was. the one i thought wasnt working. great....... so i just stood there like an idiot with my hands over my ears cuz it is so dang loud. i was thinking "i dont even know how to turn this off if i wanted to". so i went in the bathroom and shut the door which muffled the sound quite well. mike was still in there and he said "go shut it off". i said, "umm i dont know what to do." he told me to just untwist it from the ceiling. i reminded him it already was, and thats why i had opened the door in the first place. so after a sec he came out and tried pushing buttons and covering it with a blanket. nada. he told me to go get the stool so i ran downstairs, and that alarm was going off too. it was so loud everywhere. the neighbors were probably ready to beat us. anyways, i grabbed the stool and ran back upstairs. and just as i put it on the ground and set it up, they all stopped. of course. i told mike it was a good thing he was home becuase i probably would have just stood there with my hands over my ears hoping it would turn off by itself. he told me just to take a blanket or something and try to fan the steam away from the smoke detector. that was what he had just done. or if that doesnt work he said grab the stool and take out the batteries.

my thought was "or just keep the door shut"..... probably the simplist solution :)

after that we met up with the girls from my family for lunch. mike had to work at 1 so he was leaving the restaurant, and i told him i would just stay for awhile and go back to my grandmas with them. then my mom or someone could take me home so i could be to work by 3. so he left, and later megan was driving me home. when we got almost to the house i thought oh crap i dont have keys. mike isn't the best at locking the door when he leaves. pretty much he never does. so i got after him about it the other day and told him he needs to start locking it ALWAYS! the good news is that he is a good listener. it was locked. so i had to call work and tell them i would be late. then megan had to drive me to maceys to get mikes key, back home to change, and then i had to turn right around and go back to maceys. super fun. after that it turned out to be a nice day.........
