    Default Felt like I was in a sitcom today

    My kids were playing outside earlier and I went out to bring them something. My three year old walked back in the house, locked the door and sat down to watch tv. Went around front with my son, front door was locked. Went to get the key that hangs outside, it was gone. Went to the neighbours for the spare, not home.

    We could see her in there watching tv, but she completely ignored us while we pounded on the doors and rang the bell. Funny because I can't stop her from answering the door when a salesman comes.

    So, I decide I'll just get some yard work done while I wait for the neighbours to come home or for her to open the door. Shoes would have been nice, but whatever. I get down on my knees to start trimming a shrub, start wondering, 'what is that awful smell'.

    Turned out the awful smell was the giant pile of extremely fresh cat feces that I was kneeling in. I tried to scrape it off with the piece of cedar I had just cut, then got the hose and tried to blast it off. Didn't work.

    So, I'm standing in my driveway, barefeet, dripping wet, pants covered in cr@p, feeling so ridiculous that I didn't even know if I was laughing or crying. Finally, my next door neighbour pulls in while I'm standing out there, and let's me in. I'm so grateful to have retired neighbours!

    About half an hour later I run out to the garage to get something. What do I find sticking out of the garage door? The spare key.

    That does sound like a sitcom. LOL

    Much easier to laugh at when your not going through it.

    Are you laughing now?

    Sorry, but that is pretty funny! I've had days like that too! Makes you want to climb under the covers and hide until tomorrow.

    I'm laughing, I was fine as soon as I was able to wash my hands and change my pants.

    I can't seem to get to the blogs on this mobile version. Made a note to read your stories when I get on the real computer.

    Don't worry, i was also sitting in fresh kitty stuff. I thought i would be nice and mow the ladies lawn next door.I hit a tiny stump ,i went to pull the mower back and fell over and landed in it. I didnt know it til i got done and could still smell it but couldnt find it til i sat on my steps...

    You can never just make this kind of story up. Glad things turned out better. Why was the key in the garage door? Does it open that one too, or did the 3 yr old move it for you?

    The same key opens the garage. I probably left it there when I was putting the tools away on the weekend, I'm always leaving keys in doors.
