So now that i have a new house to tend to i have become a jack-of-all-trades. last tuesday i decided to send my kid to my moms and paint his room. it was a bright sun-shiny day, so i had the window open in his room and i was painting away and getting nauseated in the mean-time. so i decided to take a break and go get some food. I decided to check the mail. no our mail box is right outside the door so i can almost reach it from the door. but to day i decide instead of struggling to reach it ill just step out to get it. being it was such a nice day and all. No mind you im wearing a huge paint stained wholey short sleeved shirt, a pair of my "sexy" black boxers ,havent shaved in a month of sundays and no absolutely no shoes or socks. so any way i step out and i guess because the windows were open a huge gust of wind took the door and no sooner did my feet hit the pavement did it slam shut.....i have one of those stupid locks that you can get out of even though it is lock from the outside. so here i am standing out side my front door with nothing on but short t-shirt and shoes less. with a paper towel roll in my hand. it tuesday 1:30 in the afternoon. and of course everyone is at work. I have no cell no keys and no way to get in my house. my husband is at work and i know it was warm on tue but the ground was freaking cold as hell. so i start walking up and down the street talking to myself ( like the crazy i am) knocking on my NEW neighbors doors. What a way to meet the neighbors. any way to make a long story short i found some one to drive me to my in-laws (who happen to have the key!) and i finished painting his room all before 4pm.
Moral of the story: never by a lock that opens from the inside but is still locked on the out. also this story proves i am as dumb as they say!!!!
