Make the Beeping STOP!

I awoke this morning to a constant beep. I would hear it and then everything would go silent, making me think that I was imagining the beep in the first place. Then there it was again BEEEEEP! So finally, after what seemed like hours listening to this annoying noise I got out of bed and went to the kitchen. Daniel was rushing around getting his stuff ready for work. (Ignoring the alarm) I asked him what the noise was and he said it was the fire detector. I guess that was a good enough answer for me so I turned around and went back to bed. I still had a precious thirty minutes of sleep to get in before I had to get up and take the girls to school. I shut the bedroom door and covered up my head trying to muffle out the constant beep. Finally just as I was drifting back to sleep Mathis opens the bedroom door and wants to know what that annoying noise is and can I make it stop. I figured at this point there was no point in trying to sleep so after a few minutes of my mind fighting with my feet I got up. I went and got the ladder since the fire detector is twelve feet up in the air and climbed away. It took several minutes to pry the alarm from the wall. Apparently the last time the room was painted nobody bothered to remove the alarm. As soon as I removed it from the wall the ADT alarm starts buzzing. It thinks there is a fire. Great. I go over to the alarm and finally make it stop. At this point I am thinking this is not a great way to start the morning. Later in the morning after we dropped Skye off at school the boys and I went to Walmart to pick up some copies of the ALL YOU magazine and get some Play-Dough. Then we drove to East Brainerd to get some coupon books from my Mom. That was enough excitement for one day so we came straight home and Alden is taking his nap. I need to stop procrastinating and go do some laundry and figure out what in the world we are going to have for dinner. I have chicken in the fridge so I guess I just need to decide how I am going to cook it. Well til next time.....Thanks for taking a moment of your time to read about my day.
