Is that when the smoke detector starts chirping at 2pm on a weekday I have to listen to it for a LONG time before Matthew gets home with a latter.
The kids and I were relaxing in the living room of this very nice house we're renting with super high ceilings this afternoon when the smoke detector chirped. Then it did it again about 10 minutes later. At that point I was thinking that I could just wait until Matthew got home, every 10 minutes was not that annoying... Then it started doing it every couple minutes, then every 30 seconds or so.
So I called Matthew to see if he was anywhere near home and if he could swing buy to fix it for me, nope. Then I looked outside to see if our neighbor's son who has a window tinting business and often has a latter on top of his car was over, nope.
By that point it was chirping like crazy and making R jump every time it went off. So, I got the new Webster that Matthew bought yesterday (that I didn't think he really needed to buy) and climbed up on the bookshelf. I started hitting the thing until it finally flew off the wall and down the hallway (all the way to M's room for those who know what the layout of this house is like). Then I sat back down to relax again feeling very proud of myself for fixing it all on my own. Chirp...
Yeah, it was still doing it. So, I pull the battery out, and it still kept doing it. Then I spent the next 10 minutes walking from room to room trying to figure out if I wacked the wrong one off the wall. lol As far as I could tell it was still coming from the living room...
It seems to have stopped now, but how weird that it would keep going even after it was off the wall with the battery out.
Brings back memories of my Senior year when my parents were out of town and the smoke detector on a high ceiling started chirping. Matthew fixed it that time, of course we were dating then, not married. lol
Anyway... that's my excitement for the day. R, my mom, and I tagged along on M's field trip to the pumpkin patch this morning. I may have a picture or two to post later, I still need to pull them off the camera and I'm feeling lazy.
Oh, I was going to post last night, Matthew and I went and saw Fireproof and I thought it was great! You could tell that there was only one real actor in the movie, but the message was good, it had some funny parts, and I thought it was just a good movie. I'm glad we were able to find a theater still playing it around here!

I feel for you on the chirping smoke detector. That is one thing that drives me crazy. When we lived in WA, I made Cal put the smoke detector in his truck one night becuase we didn't have a new battery to make the thing quit beeping. I was laughing reading this becuase i would have a nutcase had that happened
HAH! Have you ever seen the Friends episode where the alarm keeps Phoebe up all night? That's all I could think about when I read this!
