Not Feeling Handy

Saturday was a bit of a frustrating day. I was stoked cause I had scored a play date for our daughter at a friends house so I could be free to go help at Sky's Old House. I know my limits. I am great at getting lunch, cleaning the job site, watering in our new massive hedges and pulling weeds. So that was my plan for the day. I am about an hour in when the hubby says that he needs me help on what he is working on. He is installing landscape drainage pipes. I do my best to help but between his sighs and eye rolls I knew he was not happy with my level of help. I am just not as strong as him and I don't automatically know what he wants me to do next. Here is all the pipe laid out before we started getting everything (including ourselves) covered in glue and dirt...........

I got to leave first, pick up our daughter and go home and take a nice hot shower. I am in the shower for 5 minutes when our daughter comes in to alert me that there is a loud beeping noise coming from the living room. The smoke detector is going off. The thing is blaring in my ear, I am dripping wet wrapped in a towel and I can't get this f**ker to turn off!!!! I hit the button, I twist it open, I try to pull the battery out. I know in no way am I calling the hubby for advise cause I would hear the annoyed tone and eye roll through the phone. Finally I just say f-it and cut the wires. That fixed that! Now I just need to hit the store for a new smoke detector today..............
