Why Do I Do These Things?

It was last summer when my mom and I ended up standing with a group of shoppers at Walmart, watching a knife presentation. It was one of those things when you watch the presentation you get a really good deal on a knife set. The knife that impressed us the most was a long knife that would cut through anything. It slices, it dices! It cuts through bone , and yes, hammers!! Hammers? When the hell would someone need to cut into a hammer? Anyways, we chipped in together and bought the set and continued on.

Now we'll skip ahead to present day, actually to Tuesday. It started out fine, had my coffee, did some cleaning, and was thinking about maybe going to do some shopping (which I wish we did do). Well I got the urge to try to get a toy out that is stuck in the wall in Erika's room. (She has a hole in her wall made from the doorknob and in the spring they put a couple princess toys through the hole. So I took a couple hangers and taped them together, put a wad of packing tape on the end and stuck it in the hole to fish out the toys. I rescued Snow White, but Belle I couldn't find.) I don't know why I can't let this go.

So I tried on Tuesday with the hangers again but failed. So I get this stupidest idea I have ever had. I put my vaccuum hose in the hole and stuck it way in there, turned on the machine, but I couldn't find the toy. So I turned it off and tried to pull the hose out. IT GOT STUCK!! The hole faces the back of the bathroom tub so the end of my hose was stuck there under the tub. I panicked! I had to get my hose out! I have to cut the wall more! Oh my god! Why didn't I go shopping!!!??? I go in the kitchen and grab my super knife I bought last year and start sawing away at the wall. The girls stopped playing and came and watched in horror as I hacked away. I felt so bad. I ended up cutting a long gap about 2 feet long and about a few inches wide down enough so I could reach my arm in there and get the hose out. I have to say the knife cut through the wall like butter! Darren wasn't too impressed with me. Erika asked me, "Mommy, why you cut a hole in my wall?" Then I felt REALLY BAD! I think I need a job.
