CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!

I JUST HAD TO BLOG ABOUT THIS!

Long story short since I have little time these days:

I dropped Jacob off at Sunshine School.  Fed Johnny breakfast and put him down for a cat nap before his 6 month appointment.  Had Wendy's for lunch while driving between errands.  Yum!  Picked Jacob up from school.  Took the boys to buy a Christmas gift for Nana. 

Came home.  

Let Jacob play in the driveway.  Took a load of things into the house.  Got Johnny out of the car and realized the wet leaves on the driveway were in Jacob's way and keeping him from riding his bike.  

Put the baby on my hip and got the leaf blower out.  Blew all leaves off of driveway.  

When done blowing off the driveway heard the house alarm blaring!  

Ran to back door.  
Jacob screaming on the other side with door locked.  
Realize that the keys are in kitchen.  
Call husband in panic.  
Have no clue if anyone is in the house with Jacob.  
Make a mad dash to the neighbors.  
Get spare key.  
Run to front of house and unlock door.  
Embrace my hysterical son while disarming alarm system.  
Try to get myself under control and shaking frantically.  
Jason comes home sees that everything is okay and goes back to work.  
Retrieve other child and begin getting the remainder of things out of the car.  
Come into my home to see Jason and two police officers standing in my kitchen.  

OUR HOUSE WAS SURROUNDED BY POLICE CARS!  
Jacob had dragged a chair over to the alarm key pad on the wall and hit the panic button.  Since it took me so long to get the alarm turned off, the alarm company notified police and the police were surrounding the house waiting for back up before they started to enter the home!!!!!  I wanted to curl up in a ball and hide under the covers for the rest of the day.   

All in a days work right?  Life IS Bliss right?
