No catchy story this week. I had one planned. But I didn't get home until 6:30 this morning, only to drag my ass out the door 30 minutes later for work. No, I wasn't working all night.
I literally couldn't get home. They shut down the street that led into my development. After being rerouted for 2 hours, I parked the car and tried to walk home. I ruined a beautiful pair of heels, but the cops refused to let me even walk home.
At 12:15, I conceded defeat and dragged my ass 20 minutes away to the closest hotel told the poor guy behind the desk that I didn't care if he put me in a broom closet, he had to give me somewhere to sleep for the night. Apparently he thought this was funny and offered to do me one better, setting me up in a room with double beds. He actually asked if that was okay. Bleary eyed, I stared at him and said, "I can't get home so double beds is far better than sleeping in my car." The entire lobby was full of people who started complaining that they couldn't get home either.
My phones were going dead. The alarm clock was broken. They didn't do wake up calls. (I was at a way classy establishment) I was so freaked out that I wouldn't get up in time to get hubby up for court and pick up Andrew that I woke up every 30 minutes starting at 3...
Great night, right?

What the hell was wrong in your neighborhood???? That is effing crazy!
Where do you live and what is going on? If you couldn't get in, could anyone get out?
Otin/Kathy: crazy night... all i was able to piece together was a BAD accident. blown transformer. series of small fires...
all RIGHT in front of where you need to turn into my development. because of the flames, they wouldn't even let us walk in the area.
and since some jerk decided to go bombing up the road going in the wrong direction at 90 MPH, the cops wouldn't let us drive around to an area where we actually COULD walk home...
i think i would just be done...omg! still wishing this was just a really bad dream...
the signs are hillarious by the way...
I thought about this idea, using some of the hilarious email signs that go round once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't save my emails so nothing to go on. These are funny.
I have had nights like that. Hate it. But in my case usually I was in my own bed!
Yikes! What a day!
Hmmm... reminds me of a song by the Five Man Electrical Band...
Signs... signs... everywhere signs... lalalalalalalalalalaaa...
I'm sorry you couldnt get home last night... :o(
~shoes~
You poor thing! I didn't realize it was that bad while we were emailing earlier! I hope you get to catch up on some sleep soon. I know you're severely sleep deprived this week!
That was not a good night, but the signs were fun.
OH! Good god. you poor thing...
coffee!!
Awww. What happened in your area? How come you guys couldn't get home? Well I hope you get to catch up on your sleep tonight.
It sounds like you had an all around horrible night. Hope you can get home tonight.
Love the sign about the toilet stolen leaving the police with no place to go. Hilarious!
You did have trouble getting home!
I almost used your cockroach sign on my post today! The Hillary one is hilarious!
Funny signs. Sounds like a terrible night though!

these signs are hilarious!
That happened to me once... the police had our street blocked off because of a suspected angry person with a gun. My son was home alone, so I had to sneak across the back yard to get home. Luckily I made it. Never did find out what happened with the gun guy.
What fun signs! I hope you are now caught up on your sleep.
