Complete Panic...


So, this morning Bryan had clinicals and I was looking forward to spending time with B and B. I needed to do some laundry, so while B and B were playing with toys, I thought I would sneak downstairs for 2 seconds and nobody would realize I was gone (the door to the garage is in the kitchen and the stairs to the basement are in the garage). As I was downstairs, I could hear B and B doing a jig on the kitchen table. I came back upstairs and tried to open the door and it was locked! I realized at this moment that I have no cell phone or keys with me. I banged on the door hoping B or B would try to open the door, but they weren't about to get off the kitchen table. I ran around front and the front screen door was locked and I could see through the kitchen that the patio door was locked. At this time, Brynn sees me at the front door banging on it, and tumbles off the kitchen table. So, now she is on the floor crying while Brody is still dancing his jig on the kitchen table.....with SCISSORS in his hand! aaaahhhh! I ran around back and decided that I was going to have to bust out the kitchen window to get in if it was locked. Meanwhile, Brynn was now laying on the floor bawling at the front door because she couldn't get to me and Truman was pacing back and forth whining because he saw the shear panic in my face and knew something was wrong. I ran around the side of the house and got the huge plastic tub that has our neighbors Christmas tree in it that they gave to us yesterday. I stepped up on it and managed to get the screen off the kitchen window and it was unlocked! I frantically looked around to see what else I could stack on top of the tub to be able to reach the window to climb in. I decided our wet lawn chair would have to do. I climbed on top and pushed off the chair arm and was then half way hanging out the window and half way in over the kitchen sink. I was greeted by Truman with his paws up on the kitchen sink wandering what the hell I was doing. Somehow I managed to pull myself through without falling to the floor. Forunately, I got to Brody before he fell off the table or hurt himself with the scissors. Brynn was fine too after cuddles:) I can't even describe the amount of panic and fear I felt during this ordeal. I hope to never feel that way again. On a funny note, I wonder if any of my neighbors looked out and saw my arse hanging out the window:)
