I went out into the garage in nothing but my PJs and ended up locking myself out of the house. It was below freezing that night and probably only in the 20s in the garage. I did everything to try to wake up my husband...blew the car horn, put the garage door up and down, anything to make noise. NO response. I found some old clothes in a box and put several layers on to keep from freezing to death. My final solution: I cut the main breaker off. My husband uses a CPAP machine. That woke him up in a hurry!!!lovinmyjobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251424092621233215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-43492295086901127892011-01-09T08:59:38.978-05:002011-01-09T08:59:38.978-05:00Overheard one of our kids telling a friend, "...Overheard one of our kids telling a friend, "we have the laziest tooth fairy ever.

I've got two boys losing teeth right now (my oldest is losing his late) I've also given up on the under the pillow thing because I have light sleepers. We leave teeth on the kitchen counter in a baggie so that the tooth fairy can find them easily. That way I can grab a handful of coins out of the junk drawer, chuck them in the bag, and voila! <br /><br />We also have a potty fairy that comes once the kids make the final transition from kid potty to adult potty and don't need the kid potty any more. The Potty Fairy brings toys, not money.<br /><br />Now that I think about it, my kids are extortionists.

I told my husband to quickly give me some change from the nightstand, and just as she came running in our room, I shoved my hand under my pillow and said 'hey, look! she left it here under my pillow instead! She must have been drunk! That crazy tooth fairy!' (I was half asleep still). She actually believed that the tooth fairy had got drunk and left the money under the wrong pillow.<br /><br />One of my worst parenting moments.<br /><br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-22383394449788015592011-01-07T14:51:09.085-05:002011-01-07T14:51:09.085-05:00@Amanda: Genius.
