In keeping with our family's running joke . . .

that everything in the house falls apart when the guys are not around, as soon as J left me home alone for the first day with a teeny, tiny puppy, the smoke detector went off just because I'd taken a shower. When I did all the usual things to shut it up and it refused, I was tempted to take a sledge hammer to it (of course, I don't actually know what a sledge hammer is or if we even have one - it just sounded good). However, having just seen a very scary example of an older woman being totally unable to function when her husband had an emergency, I was determined not to play the role of hysterical female. So I calmly located the smoke detector's instruction manual, followed the totally non-intuitive and confusing instructions step-by-step, and was finally able to get it to shut up. Granted, it was a very small thing, but I'm still proud of myself!
