For the last few days the same person has called right around 5:00. It is a nice younger guy wanting to do a survey. Monday he caught me as I was serving dinner to the kids (mine + 2). Yesterday he caught me while we were playing outside and it was loud. Today, he caught me while Jake, Blake, Abby and Abby were outside and little B was with me in my room while I was getting dressed for Zumba. I said, "Oh, you caught me and it's quiet!"
I thought what the heck I'll do his little survey since the poor guy has called three days in a row. Well, it was a political survey which I don't mind but the questions were very long and multiple choices....LOTS of choices. So many that I couldn't remember them all by the time he was ready for my answer! Around question #3 kids started lingering in the house and they were getting louder. I tried to point them towards the door.
B was getting a little rowdy himself and I was still trying to finish getting dressed. All of a sudden I hear screaming from the front yard and it sounded like someone was hurt really bad. I grab B and run down the stairs and out the door in my undies. As I'm running I say something like, "Seriously.......I'm sorry.....I get no free time around here!" Ha!! The man says, "I can hear that you have a lot going on, ma'am...." Um, you think??
No ONE was HURT. For real. The screaming was just 4 year old drama.
And the best part, no one seemed to care that I was in my undies. Nope, not a single little person thought it was odd that I ran out the door in a tee and undies. They just looked at me like this hapens everyday.
Not even the neighbor boy.
My life is so fun! My poor neighbors.
