1 Things NOT to forget

As a new home owner I have discovered that I now have a lot more to remember & worry about. This morning I was up and out of bed at 4:20am -- I had already layed out my running clothes and shoes so getting ready was quicker then usual. I piled on my base layers, Running pants, my long sleeved wisking shirt, my short sleeved shirt, then my fleece, I let Matilda outside and made My Waffle, as I put on my shoes I ate my waffle. I then realized it was only 4:35, I had time -- so I sat down and read some papers -- before I knew it my five extra minutes were passed. I put on my cote, hat, head band, Ipod, running watch, glowing arm band and gloves, put Matilda in her cage, turned off all but one light and headed out the door. I stopped to check that the door was locked and headed to the garage, opened the garage & got about half way to my car, reached in my pocked for my keys and OH CRAP!!!!!!!!! I had forgotten my keys -- not only my car keys, but my HOUSE key!!! My ONLY house key!!!!!! I headed to my only faulty window -- I couldn't get the screen off -- I called my sister to tell her I would not be running endless I could get back into my house -- I headed back to the window and remembered all the other windows I had broken into in the past (I have a long history of forgetting keys) So, with a new confidence I gently attached my window. I got the screen off -- then started gigling the window -- It didn't give right away and I was thinking I was out of luck -- I couldn't think of any other options that didn't involve actually breaking something, so I gigled harder, the little key I had stuck in the lock to make it stay finally fell off, the window was open & my dog was barking ferociously in her cage (good dog!) I started to go to the garage to find something to stand on, but relized that I did not have anything, so I took a running start and leaped, I made it in enough to pull myself up the rest of the way -- as I was halfway in, my feet flalying around outside the window, a car drove by -- i'm guessing they did not see because the Police never showed up.... I knocked over a picture that had been on the ledge, but everything else was ok -- I was in! I apologized to Matilda, grabbed my keys and jumped in the car. Some how I still made it in time.
Guess what I'm doing after work? Yes -- your right, I"m going to get more keys made & a new lock for my window!
