I had a rather rough day today. I'd have to call it a Jonah day,minus the being swallowed by the fish mind you. Let me explain. Early this afternoon my hubby came out on our back deck where I was sitting with our dogs.I was enjoying our swing and listening to some gospel music. He asked if I wanted to go to town to pick up a few things we needed.I wasn't ready and so I told him to go on. Well it was 90+ degrees today and it started getting hot so I decided to go inside. Put my hand on the knob,locked!! My hubby had locked the door!! Trying not to panic I ran round the front of the house to see if he had left yet. He had already gone. Well I went to the back deck again where there is shade and thought "he said he'd be back soon,Im ok."
Now I'll admit Im not the brightest bulb in the box, yes I hear the amens,but I really missed the boat on this one.My father works for a delivery company and came by. I told him I was locked out but that hubby would be back soon. Off he went and I went back to the deck. It was getting hotter and hotter. I had the dogs water dish so I used the water to cool down,yes,dog slobber and all. After that it hit me that we had a water faucet behind the swing so I cupped my hands and got some water to drink. In the meantime something stung me! I sat feeling faint with the heat and washing my face with faucet water and thought "this is going to be a funny story when I get out of this". We have no doorbell on our back door and it was too hot to sit in the direct sun on the front porch. I took our flag on the front porch and stuck it in the gate figuring hubby would notice and come to the gate. An hour!! later I checked at the gate and the flag was gone.I ran round to the front door and rang the doorbell. Hubby came to the door with a sheepish look on his face. I was sweating from every pore,my hair was flat to my head and I had just had a bath in the dog water dish. He said quickly "I bought steak,I'll start dinner". Now Im sure there's some spiritual message in there somewhere but I ain't found it yet. Still deciding whether hubby gets the couch tonight or I let him in the bedroom.
