After Orkin came, I had left and went out to run errands. This is not a new practice, my days off I do the grocery shopping, errand running and yes I stopped to get a manicure while I was out. Rarely am I home when the skids get home from school. At about 5pm my cell phone began ringing. The skids had finally managed to walk home after their detention and were apparently upset that I was not home. No, they didn't miss me. They missed access to the house as apparently none of the four of them remembered their house key.

This is almost word for word the conversation:

Me: Hello
Skid#1: Where are you
Me: It doesn't matter where I am. Why are you calling?
Skid#1: Well we can't get in the house and we are tired because you made us walk all day. So you need to come home and let us in.
Me: I see you remembered your cell phone. Did you remember your IPod as well?
Skid#1: Yeah, but you need to come home.
Me: Why? Because all of you again, failed to think and plan and now you expect me to change my plans, to save you from your own irresponsibility?

The Skid hung up on me. So while the nail tech did my right hand, I used my left hand to dial the cell phone company and suspended her cell phone. I would have cancelled it but apparently due to my contract that would have cost almost $300.00. But they suspended it! No incoming or out going calls/ texts/ no internet access until I call back in and release the suspension!

DH will be home within the hour. He can let them in.

On the bright side, my nails look great! And there is a coffee shop right next door to the nail shop and the coffee is pretty good! I do believe I am going to hang out here for awhile as I just can not face going home at the moment.

And I am positive once I make it home DH and I are going to argue. Over his kids. Again.
