Crazy Busy!!

Let's see, I've been working two jobs, taking care of my kids and trying to tend to my house (all though I haven't been to sucessful) cut the grass, gone to "The Sound of Music" oh yeah, and had the police and fire fighters in my home.

I took my girls to go see the Sound of Music on Wednesday night. It was something that I really wanted to see and thought they would enjoy it too. My son is in Winnipeg with his Uncle getting spoiled rotten, so I figured it was a good opportunity for a girls night out. Only when we got home around 12:30am we found that not everything was the way we left it. Shortly after we got in the phone rang, it was my dad, I figured if he was calling that late at night something must have happened to my mom. No, she was fine, he just wanted to let me know that the police and the fire fighters oh yeah, and some centra gas guy, had been in my home while I was gone!!

Here's what happened...I had a carbon monoxide detector plugged in an outlet in my bedroom and my bedroom window was open. While we were away, it went off and my wonderful neighbor who just happens to be a Winnipeg fire fighter heard it and called for me through the window. When he didn't get a response he thought he would call the police and then come into my home to make sure we weren't all in here dying or of course worse, dead! But the police decided to call the fire fighters from town so they came too!! What a great deed, don't you think??? Well, they looked through all the bedrooms and found that no one was home and we were indeed safe, but to make sure that we would stay safe when we got home they had to call someone to test the air quality in our home so, hence, some Centra gas guy was also in my home while I was joyously listening to "Raindrops on Roses and whiskers on kittens..." By the time we got home they were all gone, oh, did I mention that the police called my husband in Gods Lake Narrows because he is also a police officer and they thought it was a good idea to call him to see if he knew where we were.

So, when I got home I had to call my husband and the police here in town to let them all know that we were home and all safe and sound. Then I had to get over the fact that my house was a complete and utter disaster and there were a whole bunch of strangers in it looking through all my bedrooms!!

Maybe the next time I get the urge to do something for myself I'll just sit down and take a deep breath until the feeling goes away.

That is hilarious! Although, I can see how it would be weird having people walking around in my home when I wasn't here. Quite a story, though!

Crazy? Did they find out where the leak was from?

Bonnie said...

Roxanne- they tested the air quality in the house and found everything to be ok, I think the detector was just old and is not working any more. They took it out and I won't be putting it back in. Will have to get a new one!
The worst thing is that by the next morning I heard a rumor going around that someone had been stabbed!
