Misplaced Rednecks Part II - Lost In Bigger Spaces

We now own more rubber boots...


What happens when you put people in a house twice the size of what they are used to?

They get lost in the bigger spaces in the dark.

Monday night, I walked in a circles turning out all the lights for bedtime. I walked through a door and looked around. Panicked. Because I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ROOM I WAS IN. I hollered for Tim.

ME: Tim, where are you?
TIM: Duh, on the floor in the bed waiting on you. Where are you?
(cause we have mattresses on the floor he's goofy)
ME: Lost.
TIM: (snickering) follow the sound of my voice.
ME: Not funny.
Girls to each other: Ha ha ha ha Kaye Kaye's lost in the HOUSE, what a ra-tard.

I finally make my way back to the bedroom. I fall into bed. Tim asks what happened. I told him I turned out all the lights and turned around into the laundry room (which I've been keeping closed off because I haven't cleaned it and we don't need it). I didn't recognize the room and kind of freaked out a little bit.

Tim laughs a little at me and tells me this little story about a man and an ironing board. The house we are staying in was built in the early 1940's. The other night Tim was walking around changing light bulbs so it was a little dark in the laundry room (the room I got lost in). He noticed this little door built into the wall, he twist the tiny polished silver knob, the door springs into action. It springs open, something falls out and whops Tim on the head and he screams (Taylor provided that tid bit cause she was helping him). The door hid this neat little built in ironing board. Tim tells me to be careful of the little door in the laundry room. It's scary. I tell him...been there, done that in the day light, ain't opening it again.



We all got settled in after all the hysterical events of the night. I hear a loud thump from the girls room (remember them laughing at me earlier). I asked who is up and what happened. Taylor says..."Um...I ran into the wall, cause I can't find the bathroom."
Taylor chillin' on the air mattress Sandy loaned her...


and they were laughing at me....

the one light I left on was the bathroom light...

thinking about going all "Little House On the Prarie" and tieing a rope to our respective rooms to find our way back...

Keeping it real at Butler Manor...in the city
