“Will you guys hurry up!” Jane yelled for about the hundredth time in the last hour.

My view from my pen was slightly limited but I could still see all the boys fighting to ride shot gun. Jace had Jacob in a head lock and J.W. and Logan were arguing. But my least favorite brother happens to be the family genius right now, since he easily snuck in behind his arguing siblings to get the front passenger seat. The chorus of ‘Aw man?’ and ‘that’s not fair! He rode up front last time!’ Were very comical and probably the highlight of my day.

“Oh shut your yappers yea big babies! Lucus got it first so get over it!” Kathy snapped. She was in a rather sour mood today. Probably since she had been fighting with the boys since six this morning and it was now about eleven. They really don’t want to go shopping and are making it very well known that they don’t. The continued complaints were not only getting on her nerves but mine also. I snorted my distaste as they all FINALLY got into the vehicles.

I could still hear them from outside the cars. Poor Jane and Kathy…they have to put up with those idiots for the next three hours. But it’s just my luck that John and George had already left to go help another neighbor out for the day. So I had the farm all to myself for the next three hours, which gives me plenty of time to get out take a nice long shower and come up with an excuse. I already had my ‘where’s the horse?’ story I just needed my ‘where the hell have you been story’.

I waited a few minutes to make sure the car had finally left and I couldn’t hear it any longer. When the sound of the car finally faded into the distance I breathed a sigh of relief. Now to get the heck out of here I thought. Of course that involved me changing, which if you don’t remember when I changed back in the woods I took my cloths off. So I’m gonna be wearing absolutely nothing……great.

I stood there glaring at the gate hoping that somehow I had magical telepathic powers and that I could somehow open the gate with my mind and  then I wouldn’t have to change out here in the open. But like most of my retarded ideas, this one did not fail me. It was just as retarded as the others.

Ok well here goes nothin!

Nothing happened.

Come on you can do it!

Still nothing.

Put your big girl pants on and just do it already!

Nothing, nada, zip.

This obviously is not going to work.

Maybe if I stopping worrying and just do it then I might be able to do it. Yea that might work! But then won’t I have to be focused on it to be able to change? Which would take me off my focus of trying not to focus, which will totally defeat the point of trying not to focus on the change, to try and change!

‘Um Tara? Where did your fur go?’ Bill asked.

“Huh” but instead of coming out as I horsey huh it came out a human huh. I looked down and there I was. In my birthday suit………HOLY BUTTERFINGERS OF ANTARTICA!!!! IT WORKED!!

I did a little dance before remembering I was naked and I made a mad dash to the house. And of course the other thing I forgot was the fact that the door was locked.

I groaned as I banged my head against the door a couple of times. Of course it just had to happen to me didn’t it. I had just had to be the one person who would get locked out of the house, butt freaking naked.

Could this day get any worse?

Apparently I spoke to soon when I heard tires turn onto the drive way. NO! I mentally screamed as I wiped my head around trying to find an escape. Um….um….spare key! Where’s a spare key! Maybe it’s in a plant pot! I looked around and found no plant pot. Under the welcome mat! No not under there either.
