Oh man, of all the luck, I would get the poster telephone repairman of 2004. This morning I called and asked my husband if he thought that the repairman would knock on the door and need anything and my husband’s reply was that he should not have too. The problem with the telephone was all outside.

The little ones and I had just finished eating and I was taking the little ones potty when the upstairs doorbell rang. The little ones and I went to answer the door and there standing in the doorway was a very good looking repairman. He was asking me where the telephone box on the outside of the house was and as he spoke, I noticed his evenly space nice white teeth, TEETH, oh no; I had not brushed my teeth yet this morning. Then I notice his well comb hair, every hair in its place, HAIR, Oh my God; I have not had a shower in two days. Then I notice his eyes, kind nice eyes you could melt into, EYES, Yikes! I had not washed my face in two days either. Man, I felt like a toad that had just crawl out from under a rock. Of all the luck, I would be sent a good-looking repairman. Not like the last one, I expected an older gentleman; we all know the type. Older, loosing his hair, a little round in the belly area. One you could careless what you look like. However, today of all days I get the poster child of telephone repairmen.

To make matters worst he came back to the door after making the repairs to ask me to check my telephone. I still had not cleaned up because I was dealing with getting the little ones cleaned up. Of all the luck!! After checking to see if we had dial tone (which we did) he proceeded to tell me all about the repairs. With a big, grin the young good looking repairman left and my husband called. I told my husband about the repairman and all he could do was laugh and good naturally tease me about not getting up early and getting myself cleaned up.

I think that the moral to this story is the Boy Scout motto: “Always Be Prepared.” Just my Luck!!!!

Cyber Hugs to All

They really are making telephone repair men much better looking now a days! I remember a few years ago I had the phone turned on in the apartment I just moved into and the phones would not work. They sent the repair man out, he was really cute, well anyway the night before I was doing some crafts and was using lace, I did not notice I left a large piece on the floor under the table, when he moved the table he laughed and said "is that what I think it is?" I looked to see what is was and laughed and told him it was lace but no it wasn't what he was thinking. lol

He was quiet embarrassed after that.

Rainy,


The first thing I thought of when I read your post was "Gee, someone else has that little black cloud called Murphy's law follwing them!!".


It figures, doesn't it??

Trac,

Sometimes I feel the same way, if it was not for bad luck I have no luck at all. I will just have to mark this one up for the books. Yes, He had great manners but I still have not gotten use to being called “Ma’am.”

Zebracrazy66,

I laughed when I read your post. I bet he was embarrassed. Thank you for sharing your story.

Musicalle,

I should have known better and gotten fix up. I just did not expect to see such eye candy. To answer your question he was around thirty-something.

Pamela,

It is just the way that the cookie crumbles. Life sure is throwing curve balls at me and some days I forget to swerve.

Erin,

I am glad that I made your day. I know that you are going through a tough time and if I can brighten it just for a few minutes it means a lot to me.

Deb,

Murphy’s Law has found me and settled right in. Oh well, best to at least learn to laugh at it.



Sending positive thoughts and Cyber Hugs to all.

Warmest Regards,
