Thoughtful Thursday!!! (Not Deep... Really Quite Funny. Stuck In a Window Well)

So I can say this now that the Hub's is coming back from a conference and will be home today. I don't like to write about the goings on at our house while he's away from home just in case. (you never know these day's.)

I Got Stuck In The Window Well.

So on Tuesday night I was outside minding my own business weeding when I decided to go along the side of our home to discover a window well full of water from apparently a broken sprinkler. Panic struck I called Hub's freaking out. He told me to get the shop vac out and go to the well and start sucking the water out. I did. Our nice neighbor across the street came over to help me for a few minutes and show me how to man the Vacuum then had to leave. This is the funny part while he was at our home I jumped down in the window well to hold the hose to the shopvac and then didn't think of a way to get back out. By this time my neighbor had gone. My boys were riding around the house and I yelled for one of them to come to me. Finally one did and I had him go get me a stool. Yeah well the stool sunk to the top when I tried to get out. My son watching this all of the sudden runs off. So now i'm stuck with no one to help me. I'll remind you that it's Stake Lagoon Day so no one is around. I had to pick up Sassy from Gymnastics and was really starting to panic. I wretched my arms trying to pull myself up and finally by some miraculous way I pulled myself up and in the process I wet my pants. (Not a proud moment in my life and I wouldn't ever dare tell anyone this except for it's setting the picture for this story.) I was crying hysterically and yelling for my boys because I could not find them. I did decide to come in and change and I call Chris tell or more like yell at him what was happening in the phone but I was crying so hard and bad that he couln't understand me. I walked out of my house once again yelling for my son's and crying because now... I can't find them and I look up to find my neighbors from up the street walking up my drive way with a step stool to help me with my little boys in tow. My sweet , smart boy went to get help. I was mortified because I was crying and swearing like a sailor and the neighbors probably heard me. Oh Well!! You win some you lose some right? Later on when I was finished cleaning up the mess my little guy said "Hey Mom next time I'll call 991 okay." Me chuckling: " No, it wasn't that big of an emergency." Thankfully my Mom and Rockey showed up to help me out with the last little bit and entertained my kids while I could gather myself together a little bit more.

At that time I wasn't in that great a spot to laugh at myself, but that's pretty DARN funny. I can only imagine what the neighbors thought and saw and more important I learned a valuable lesson:

**** Note to self: DO NOT GO INTO A DEEP WINDOW WELL WITHOUT A LADDER TO GET BACK OUT AND NEXT TIME STAY CALM AND DON'T WET YOUR PANTS.
