The kids were allowed to wear their favorite PJ's to school today, so...
Happy Pajama Day!
Here's hoping for some snow this Christmas! This photo, of Gregg and Payton playing in the snow was taken in 2001, while living in Norman, OK.Now a word to those of you with home alarm systems:
- Always expect the batteries in the door and window sensors to go out at 3 AM.
- Always expect the damn alarm to not stop beeping, even after you cut the power.
- Always expect said batteries to all go out within minutes of each other, keeping you up by the beeping until the break of dawn.
- Always expect the batteries to be hard to find locally and once you do find someone that carries them, they will be on back order.
- Always expect that the beeping will have your children scared to death.
- Always expect that you will not be able to find the instruction manual for the alarm system in such an emergency. And last but not least...
- Always expect that while you are trying to figure out how to get the damn alarm to stop beeping, you will break it. But once it is broken, your headache will go away & you will sleep peacefully once again.
Wednesday night was a complete joy.
I hear you on the alarm. We have a love/hate relationship as well. I couldn't live without out it, but at times the stupid thing DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! I am praying for some snow as well. We are headed back to Oklahoma for Christmas, and just maybe it will. Where are you all spending your Christmas? How is school going. Semester is almost over. YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!
ReplyDeleteHaving no burglar alarm, only the smoke alarm beeps at our house - which usually means we have no batteries in ours! I,too want snow at Christmas, but only on the lawns and trees :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but I had to laugh at your alarm issues, because I can just imagine how frustrated I would have been in that situation!!
ReplyDeletewe were in norman during that snow, too! i miss snow...and cold...and hibernation inside and sitting with a blanket...
