1. I am a freakin' idiot

2. A crazy whirling sound coming from your car means your starter is out

3. You should bring a vehicle with enough power to get all your purchases home from the store

4. If you call dispatch they send out emergency vehicles

5. Husbands are sometimes (although not often) right

Tough lessons to learn in one day! Sunday was one of those days that you wish you would have stayed in bed! Ryan woke up Sunday excited to make his first Sunday Dinner in our new house, I ran to the store (this is when I found the starter had went out in the car) to get everything for him. I didn't let this get me down, I knew it wasn't a huge deal since we don't have to have two working cars right now. While the roast was in the oven I suggested we run "real fast" to Lowe's to get the materials we needed to put in the fence. Our quick trip ended up lasting almost 2 hours. The kind boy helping us knew less than I did about fencing which pretty much left everything up to me to figure out. This was a little tricky with two kids screaming and a frustrated husband. When all was said and done I had two pallets and two carts of materials. Before we paid one of the employees asked which vehicle they would be loading everything in, when I told him about our little truck he informed me that there would be no way our truck would be able to handle the weight of everything I was trying to purchase. I felt totally stupid as I had to walk out the door after having wasted my time, Ryan's time, nap time and employee time. I had time to think on the way home, and realized that it could have been worse. I will just go to Home Depot and get the materials next week! We came home to our Carbon Monoxide Monitor going off for the 2nd day in a row. I had just had them hung on Thursday and had replaced the batteries at this time as well. I couldn't figure out why it was going off again. When I asked Ryan what he thought I should do he told me to go buy a new one at Wal-Mart and see if it picked anything up. Instead of listening to my "oh so smart hubby" I decided to call the dispatch number and see if they had a number for a company that could come and look at it. The operator asked why I was calling and I casually explained that my alarm was going off for the 2nd day in a row. She freaked out, told me to get everyone out of the home and that emergency vehicles would be coming. I started laughing and told her that was not what I had in mind but it was too late. It was so freakin embarrassing. I had to hide out back until they came (with lights on) and try to put this whole thing to a stop (meanwhile Tripp is jumping up and down on the front porch with excitement). Great way to meet our new neighbors!
