Slosh, Slush, Sleesh, Honk!

As I was dragging myself out of bed this morning, we suddenly heard some honking from the front of the house.

Geese?A Panic alarm on a car??

Is that coming from OUR house???

Is someone breaking into one of our cars????

Criminy... I think maybe! So I pulled on a bathrobe and my slip-on tennis shoes and went down to the front door which was unlocked. I found my mother-in-law outside in the dark! She was holding some keys. She said that she couldn't turn it off and that it was my daughter's car making the racket.

I turned back to get my daughter's keys but she held them up and said that she had them. She had been trying to move Maddy's car out of the way because Maddy had blocked her in the driveway last night. Who knew Grandma had a new job and had to leave at 6:30am?

So I took the keys and sloshed my way out to the car. It snowed last night!! Slosh is the appropriate word. It's slushy... Slosh, slush, sleesh. As soon as I hit the unlock button, the alarm stopped.

But I'm sure all the neighbors were looking from their cozy windows at me in my robe that gapes...

Giving your neighbors a little holiday cheer early this year?

LOL Christina! You had snow? It's 70 degrees here today, we had snow last week...

Snow?! What a dirty word!

WOW snow already? Glad it was there and not here! I hate car alarms that go off early in the morning, along with dogs that won't stop barking. For once I'm glad not to live close to you ;o)

On one hand, the visual is hilarious.
On the other hand, the reality sucks!

Sounds like a perfect alarm clock. Isn't that how everyone wants to wake up?
