Domestic disasters

Wade left for a week for a work trip to Germany and while he was gone I had 2 domestic disasters!

Disaster 1: Wednesday night at midnight (or early Thursday morning) an alarm went off in my room. I figured it was the fire alarm. So I proceeded to climb up a chair and replace the battery. But it kept beeping.... so I replaced the battery again, and again... after 3 batteries and no luck. I finally called Wade in Germany. Poor guy. After about 30 minutes of trying to turn it off, removing it from the wall, and hauling it into another room and it was still BEEPING! Finally Wade says- is it the carbon monoxide sensor? I looked and it was... and it quit beeping after I simply unplugged it from the wall... after all of that!! AUGH!

Disaster 2: Saturday evening, about 20 minutes before Wade's plane landed here in Tucson... I heard this loud crash- it nearly scared me to death. As soon as I found the source of the noise I was shocked to see all of the contents of my side of the closet on the floor. The shelf, the rack of clothes- on the floor!! I quickly moved all of my clothes into the guest room. Just in time for Wade to call and say that he was waiting at the airport for me to pick him up.

Lucky for me my hero came home to fix all of my disasters! :) I am so lucky he is willing and able to fix my disasters! Yeah for husbands!
