Percussive Maintenance.....

Our house is possessed. The smoke detector from hell is at it again. It starts chirping in the middle of the night about every minute. The problem is that it quits during the day. And it doesn't do it every night, just when I am trying to sleep. We have new smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, the chirping one is the 1990 version that was built into the house (and not needed). And it is hard wired into the house, no batteries. It even gives you a written warning that it won't work if the power is off. That makes me feel real safe. It's kept me awake since 4 and if it wasn't for a sleeping toddler, I would have already taken a 6 pound sledgehammer to it. Let me think, metal hammer and live electricity, sounds safe to me.

To Do List for Monday
1. Whack the piss out of the smoke detector once Nicole is awake.
2. Take a nap while Nicole is sleeping.

I realize that if I could write like Stephen King, I could turn this into a book and a movie deal. I'll post tomorrow, if I survive.
