We Are a Dippy Bunch

So sometimes brain cells hide. Sometimes we do crazy things and later we look back and go WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?! Sometimes we do things in our sleep that boggle the mind. FOR EXAMPLE...
I had to go to a birth last night, so my husband was in bed watching TV. He likes to turn on the TV and fall asleep, which usually isn't a problem. But lately he has developed the habit of flipping channels while in that space between awake and asleep. For the most part, it's just annoying because I'll still be awake and he's over there snoring and right when I get interested in what's on, his finger goes to flipping and he's completely unaware.
Well last night he took it to a new level. Somehow in his sleep he purchased a PPV event for 55 bucks. A UFC fight, nonetheless. This is really funny because my hubby doesn't watch UFC fights, NASCAR, football, or any of these types of annoying male sports.
So I had to call the satellite company today to discuss how to undo a PPV prepaid event that was purchased while asleep. If you've followed my blog from the beginning you'll remember how much I like calling the satellite company. If you haven't, see the post called Voice-Activated Menus. Anyway, after the lady picked herself up off the floor and stopped laughing, she informed me that since it was purchased with the remote, that they couldn't cancel it. But she did say that if I called back after it hit my bill, they'd credit me. How nice, right? So now I have to give my hubby a fake remote to hold while he falls asleep so he won't be buying PPV events. I did figure out how to hide and lock the PPV events on the menus.
SO since I've outed my husband, I'll tell a little story about myself.
Last night I was on my way to a birth at the Army hospital. When you go on base, you have to stop at the visitor center to get a pass if you aren't military, which I am not. SO I march into the visitor center with my drivers license and my car registration. The lady then informs me that she cannot let me on base because MY LICENSE WAS EXPIRED. Oh geez. So I have a paying client waiting on her doula and I can't get on base because I let my license expire. *forehead slap* DOH! My husband had to come and drive me to the gate and my client's husband had to pick me up and take me to the hospital. I felt like a big heel. My client delivered 4 weeks early, so I just didn't have my doula head on. But the baby was born at 7am today, and she is BEAUTIFUL.
Anyway, so I just thought I'd share some of the dimwitted things we do at our house. Ciao!
