Rude Wake Up Call

I had a happy Thanksgiving and visions of sugar plums were dancing in my head as I drifted off to sleep last night. And asleep I was until about 2:45 when I was rudely awakened by the sound of our smoke detector. Now seriously…our smoke detector has given us trouble before. But of course I darted out of bed after one chirp. It sent my heart into a frenzy and I felt like my blood pressure had raised to an insanely unhealthy point. I got up, turned on all the lights in the house and searched for the mystery smoke that set off the alarm. I saw nothing and so I went and laid back down. But I could not go back to sleep. So I decided to watch a show I had DVR’d. I watched it and still didn’t feel like I could go back to sleep. By that time it was almost 4. I knew I had to be up in a few hours to work all day. And I finally succumbed to the tiredness and the letdown from the adrenaline that had built up in me. But seriously? Not exactly the wake up I wanted after a long day before and a long day ahead!

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that everyone has realized what is most important to them to be thankful for! I know I have and I'm spending time with them today!

Biggest Pet Peeve

I don't usually go all, I don't like that specific thing or person but I saw something tonight when I was picking Leo up from school that I've seen a lot more lately and it got on my nerves. And that thing is parents smoking in the car with their children. And this is not something that I care about if people are annoyed with this post because it seriously pisses me off when I see it. I have no problem at all if people smoke. That is their choice. I am also one of those people that don't think the government should tell people where they can smoke in public places or anything like that (although it does make it so much nicer if a restaurant or bar is non-smoking) because I am choosing to go to a place where smoking might occur. But I HATE when parents smoke in the car with their kids. The kids have no choice in the matter and can't ask their parents not to. Especially if they are small children. I just think its trashy. Can you really not hold off on the smoke until you can get to a place where your kid will not be affected by your choice.

Ok. I'll get off my soap box now. Have a happy Wednesday!
