So my fire alarm thingy has been telling me for about a month now that I need to change the battery. However, that is easier said than done because it is the one in the kitchen, the one on the 15 foot (at least) ceiling - we only have a 6 foot ladder. At first it only beeped about once every 5 hours which was barely noticeable and not annoying in the least but now it beeps about once a minute. Yesterday I considered putting the ladder on 2 chairs but thought that might be a bad idea with only me and the kids here. Chett thought it was a bad idea period. He suggested shooting it with a short round shot gun (he said since it is a short round it won't go through the ceiling), I thought that was a bad idea. Today I tried standing on a chair and standing on my tip toes and beating it with a broom. It is still beeping incessantly. I hate the fact that I may have to rent a ladder for 10 minutes to change a damn battery! The more my eye twitches the more I think the shot gun sounds like a good idea! Then it hits me. It IS a FIRE alarm and I WILL kill myself trying to change the battery so I figure I might as well see if the fire dept will help me out. I call them. They help me! Wylde was at the neighbors- he had no clue. He saw the fire trucks in front of the house (they sent a police car and a fire truck and then a different fire truck with a different ladder) thought something was wrong and bawled his eyes out!
The beeping is gone. You can't see me right now but I'm doing cart wheels.
Stay Funny San Diego, Daya
