No, I'm Not Going Crazy..........

This morning, the kids were outside and I was in the shower.

I hear the dog barking and then I hear a man's voice in the bedroom that sounded a lot like Jeff:

"Hello?! Anybody home?"

"Jeff", I yell out, "I'm in the shower!"

No reply. So I step out dripping wet and soapy and call out once again....

"Jeff! I'm in the shower!"

No reply. And there is no one in the bedroom.

I figure he went downstairs and can't really hear me. I look out the window to check on the kids and I don't see them in the backyard, but I can hear their voices, so I'm thinking that Jeff must be outside in the driveway with them.

I finish showering, put on my bathrobe and venture downstairs to greet Jeff.

The kids are at the door trying to get in. I locked them out because they've been traipsing through mud and didn't want them barreling into the house with dirty boots on.

Jeff isn't with them.

I KNOW I heard a man's voice, but there was no sign of Jeff anywhere. I realize he must've never come home.

I thought maybe I was going crazy.

I went back upstairs to get dressed and saw that there was "1" flashing on the answering machine.

I press play and hear:

"Hello?! Anybody home?"

It was Jeff, leaving a message.

I felt like such an ass.........
