I have a problem.
I always lock my keys in my car and/or my house.
Last summer I locked the keys in the car several times, including while getting a snowcone, while parked at WalMart, and in my driveway. During the school year, I locked my keys in the house several times and ended up waiting at my mom's house until Samuel got home from work.
And yet again:
Yesterday was Josie's birthday-- (Josie is one of my cute young women)-- so we took her some breakfast before they took off for beehive camp. I wasn't driving, so I opted to leave my purse home. That's when the trouble began. Upon arriving home, I had my arms full of cinnamon rolls and orange juice, I walked up to the front door opened the screen door, grabbed the doorknob and gave it a forceful twist... only-- it didn't twist. I had locked the door. Frantically I ran around to the kitchen side door, praying that by some amazing and unusual blessing of fate we might have left it open 3 weeks ago (which was the last time we had used it). No luck. I called my landlord; he didn't answer. I called my mom about fifty times; she didn't answer. I called Samuel, even though he was 400 miles away in the Tetons. He answered! But he couldn't do much to help, besides offer moral support. So, I weeded my garden.
Eventually my mom called back, laughed a little, and came to pick me up. Also, my landlord stopped by and unlocked the side door so that I could get in.
I guess I need to get a hide-a-key. But...at least I lock my doors?

safety is a high priority.
so is a key rock.
you are awesome.
I am so glad I am not the only one who has done this. I feel like I need to pin my key to me each day like a little kid. I also keep one in my wallet now for my car and for my house. Love you.
