You've probably had one or two. Those moments where the simplest task(s) suddenly becomes the most difficult process you can imagine. Friends and family of mine have dubbed these moments "Kayli Moments." Why? Because they seem to happen to me a lot more frequently than average people. And Tuesday the fit really hit the shan!!
It all started Monday when I ran out of allergy meds and forgot to go get more. I take mine in the morning because if I take it at night I won't sleep. It's non-drowsy of course! But even though the stuff says it works for 24 hours, we all know it is only a measly 12. I just have to hope I can sleep through my allergies when it stops working. When midnight rolled around I knew it was not going to be one of those nights. So I mentally kicked myself and made a plan to get more first thing in the morning.
The kids woke up, ate breakfast and I tried to get online to check my balance on my account. (I am super scared of my check book not matching my actual purchases so I check it on an almost daily basis. Especially before I buy stuff.) Much to my dismay the internet wasn't working. I don't have the internet peeps number because my mobile internet isn't working either. Caden is screaming for snack time although he just ate a whole banana and apple and bowl of cereal all by himself. I called Clayton to get the internet peeps number. Called the internet peeps and they can't figure it out either. (Caden literally decides to cry anytime I get on the phone!) I also have a very hard time understanding people with accents. There's like a disconnect in my brain and it sounds like I am listening to gibberish. Throw in some internet cable lingo and I was lost. We tried to schedule a a guy to come out but their system is down (I know the feeling!) and ask me to call back in an hour, at least I think that is what he said. Frustrated I decided to walk my way to the store and get my itchy throat, watery eyes and runny nose taken care of.
Now the part about the pepper spray:
I was carrying my pepper spray like a good girl. It is the one designed to take jogging with you so it has a nifty carrying thing that straps to your hand. Well I had gone running monday and I had left the bottle in the open-and-ready-to-spray-once-you-push-it position just to be extra ready. I had forgotten to put it back in the safety for dummies position when I got home. Don't worry, it is never in reach of my children. As I am walking to the store I see that the bottle is coming out of the pouch and so I began to push it back in, my hand slipped to the trigger and sure enough out streamed a spray of spicy liquid pepper or whatever they put in that crap. It coated mostly my hand but a little did make contact with my tongue when I gasped. The instant it hit I could hear a chorus of "Burn, baby burn..." while everything passed in slow motion. It was actually quite hilarious. I would laugh but I can't feel my tongue. Long story short, I managed to make my way to the store and get the medicine and make it back just as the burn was wearing off. Moral of the story...Kayli needs the dummy safety on at all times and remember to only pepper spray people who really (and I mean REALLY) deserve it because that stuff is no joke!
And that my friends is your Kayli Moment for today :)
Laugh on!
