It never fails
It is sort of illustrative of how things usually go for me that when I accidentally set off the house alarm taking the trash out and forget which button to push to indicate it is a false alarm (it should really be labeled "I'm an idiot") and then don't answer the phone when the alarm company calls because I forgot that they do that and think if is a junk call and then the cops come and one of them is really, really cute, well of course I am still in my pajamas with baby puke in my hair. Oh, and am also married. He totally thought I was hot anyway though, I could tell. He was just trying to maintain his professionalism.
(Do you think if I push the "fire" button they will send me some firemen? I could use a little cheering up, and I think that would do it.)
Posted by Beth at October 25, 2005 08:24 AMYeah, some firemen would certainly cheer things up. I say go for it.
Posted by: Nancy at October 25, 2005 08:36 AMfiremen always cheer me up - good thing we have a firestation right around the corner from our house. firemen central!!!
Posted by: suze at October 25, 2005 08:46 AMOh totally. Gotta go with the first two commenters on this one.
Posted by: jen at October 25, 2005 09:02 AMahhh smart woman. i like the way you think ;)
*goes downstairs and sets alarm off*
Posted by: penguintarts at October 25, 2005 09:05 AMJust cut to the chase girl. Pull out the Yellow Pages and look under strippers or exotic dancers, whatever. I'm sure they have a fireman costume sitting in the closet just begging to be used. The baby goes down for a nap soon right?? :D
Posted by: patricia at October 25, 2005 09:13 AMyou know, I never thought of the security system as a stud delivery system! What a great idea!
Posted by: Erin at October 25, 2005 09:20 AMBrilliant, again! Always forward thinking on the fireman-delivery-service. Maybe this could be your business from home? hee hee....
Posted by: carrster at October 25, 2005 09:56 AMWooo hooo! Take pictures of them! Cheer us ALL up!
Posted by: Queen of Ass at October 25, 2005 10:00 AMI agree with queen take pictures for us.
Posted by: DayByDay4-2Day at October 25, 2005 10:25 AMdo they have an alarm with a 'supermodels' button?
Posted by: Bob at October 25, 2005 10:29 AMmmmm firemen.
Posted by: Heather B. at October 25, 2005 11:13 AMI get cheered up every day when I pick my daughter up from preschool and search for a glimpse of a fireman daddy there to pick up his own daughter.
What is it about firemen anyway?
Posted by: Brenda at October 25, 2005 11:24 AMIt's worth trying.
Posted by: Dawnie at October 25, 2005 12:00 PMMmmmm... Firemen....
What? I'm sorry, did you say something?
Posted by: sleepingmommy at October 25, 2005 12:05 PMSome firemen came by the office last week for a surprise inspection, and not a one of them was cute. It was a shame.
Posted by: Rhonda at October 25, 2005 12:28 PMI love your blog. I put yours on my blog roll. Is that ok? If you see my blog and think it sucks and decide you don't want to be associated with such suckiness then let me know. I can take it off and won't be offended.
And I remember the baby puke in the hair... That phase doesn't last long. Sooner than you realize, she'll be giving you attitude instead of regurgitated "boob juice". :-)
Posted by: Lisa B at October 25, 2005 12:34 PMI'm sorry, I was laughing too hard at the visual to actually write anything good here.
Posted by: Jeff A at October 25, 2005 12:41 PMBoy- I am thinking I shoudl go home and "accidentally" set off our alarm, I could use a little attention :)
Posted by: Stephanie at October 25, 2005 01:05 PMPush the button for me too!
Posted by: Michele at October 25, 2005 01:08 PMAh Beth, I nearly spit out my cereal with your last brilliant idea there. Heh. Now that's a great reason to have a home alarm system, really. :P
Posted by: Heather at October 25, 2005 01:28 PMWait for me to get there, ok? I'll bring the wine.
Posted by: JuJuBee at October 25, 2005 01:43 PMBeen there, honey!
Posted by: liz at October 25, 2005 01:59 PMYou should see the cops they send here when you accidentally call 911. (The number was like 591-1XXX, the 5 on the phone never worked.) "Arrest me ... please???"
priceless :)
Posted by: laura at October 25, 2005 04:47 PMAh, baby puke. My hair product of choice.
Posted by: Eulallia at October 25, 2005 07:15 PMyeah firemen are sexy!!
Posted by: lizabetty at October 25, 2005 07:40 PMYou know it's "fall back" time for daylight savings, time to change the batteries in your smoke detector. You could call the fire house and let them know you want your smoke detector checked, make sure you got the batteries in right. They do car seat checks too, you know if you are really bored, you can go see them.
Posted by: Laura at October 25, 2005 08:29 PMWhen I manage to arrange for a severe hypoglycemic episode in my diabetic husband, I can sometimes get a bedroom FULL of firemen and paramedics! Wooo-hooo... (it would even be better if they'd clean up the clothes on the floor but they never do).
Posted by: JustLinda at October 25, 2005 09:30 PMOhhhhh fireman. It's a close one, but I think firemen are hotter than policemen. Is it warm in here, or is it just me?
Posted by: Colleen at October 25, 2005 09:56 PMJust wait till the UPS man comes knockin'...
Posted by: Marilyn at October 26, 2005 01:33 AMMmmm - firman - I need a home alarm system just so I can call firemen and policemen to my house. Oh I know! I can UPS packages of my own belongings to my house... Now there's an idea!
Posted by: Marie at October 26, 2005 10:14 AMFiremen are cute. I say go for it.
I hope today is going better. Or at least involves less puke in your hair.
Posted by: bad penguin at October 26, 2005 12:13 PMFIREMEN!! You know, you're going to have to teach Mia at some point about the virtues of hot men-- I mean public service... why not do it while she's young?
Posted by: bmh at October 26, 2005 12:49 PMDoes your alarm have a general "Man in Uniform" button?
Posted by: Momtothelady (Chatty Cricket) at October 26, 2005 02:05 PMSounds like I need a home alarm system. This could be fun!
Posted by: Maribeth at October 26, 2005 03:11 PMWait--wait--when Mia gets older? You can totally have fire truck birthdays! Who cares if she likes them? They will send a whole crew to help you in, and help you out, and then back into another part of the truck and then out again... Mia can hate it but her friends (and their moms) will worship you.
Also? Jaleo totally rocked my world.
Posted by: Mindy at October 26, 2005 10:27 PMHeck yeah!! Push that button!!! We could all use a few firemen... :)
Posted by: Corinne at October 27, 2005 11:44 AMHA! Firemen are the best--you should try it.
YAY!! Go for it! What's the worst they can do to ya?? it'd be worth it I think, heheh
Posted by: Tammy at October 27, 2005 01:52 PMI HIGHLY recommend trying to get a fireman or two. Yumm. Hmm. You might want to get dressed first though :)
Posted by: Mabel at October 27, 2005 02:27 PMI called the firemen last year and it was so worth it. Even when they told me the only thing wrong with my carbon monoxide detector is that it was dusty. I too, did not have time for makeup and other niceties.
