always.have.extra.batteries

This is our timeline from last night:

1:15 a.m.: beep, beep, beep
1:16 a.m.: crying (Jack)
1:20 a.m.: beep, beep, beep
1:21 a.m.: crying (Jack)
1:22 a.m.: beep, beep, beep
1:23 a.m.: Jeannie: "Is that one of the fire alarms?"
1:24 a.m.: beep, beep, beep and more crying (Jack)
1:25 a.m.: Steve gets up and gets the ladder from the garage
1:26 a.m.: crying (Jack)
1:27 a.m.: Steve: "do we have any batteries for the fire alarms?"
1:27 a.m.: Jeannie (while feeding Jack AGAIN) "ah, I don't think so."
1:28 a.m.: Steve, on flooded roads, heads to the store to pick up batteries

ALWAYS have extra batteries for your fire alarms...because inevitably they will always start beeping in the middle of the night.

Oh man, sorry about that. I'm just glad Steve was there to help out. The same thing has happened to us and it's ALWAYS when we're all asleep! Hope you can get a nap today!
