A couple of weeks ago she had a little bit of a schedule change that I feel is very much worth sharing. Her day started out the usual way. Getting up a little late and rushing around to make it to class on time. She let the dog out back and then started her car to let it warm up. She then went into her closet to find her shoes. This is when her day was about to change. (Kensie's closet is a walk in. For the last four years her closet door has been a little bit sticky and hard to open from the outside. ) As she was digging for her shoes she bumped to door and sure enough it closed. She then discovered that the door does not open at all from the inside! So there she was locked in her closet, her cell phone on her bed, all the light's on, her music blasting, the dog still outside, and her car running!! She tried everything to get out but nothing worked so for the next five hours she cried and beat on the door. Lucky for her her brothers had early release and got home around 1:30. Kace, who thought it was really odd that Kensie's car was at the house and it was running, sat down on the couch and heard something strange coming from Kensie's room. He went to investigate and eventually opened the closet door. Kensie was finally FREE!! She grabbed her phone right then and called me at work. " Mom , guess where I have been for the last five hours? Locked in my closet!!" Now being the kind, wonderful, loving mother that I am I immediately bust out laughing. "Mom!! It was terrifying!! And the worst part is I really, really have to pee!!!" Still being the amazing mother that I am, I was then rolling on the floor with laughter and huge tears running down my face. Her car was really warm and still had gas in it. The dog was happy to finally be in the house. She was thrilled to have her phone back. And her bladder felt much better!!
Kensie has been a really good sport about this!! She has survived not only the trauma of being locked away, five hours without texting but also the countless jokes told at her expense. (It didn't take long for this story to get told to everyone) They really have been great jokes!! A lot of them have to do with her coming out of the closet!!! I have also informed her that I will be installing a 72 hour kit in her closet made just for her. It will be in a large bucket with a double roll of TP to make sure all her needs are met. I am taking suggestions for additional items
