LOCKED OUT!

Well, this Valentine's Day will never be forgotten. First we woke up late for church ( I am NOT a fan of 8am church!) After running around in a mad dash trying to get the kids ready and myself ready we finally made it out the door, an hour late of course. We started to the car and my hubby says, "Diana, do you have your keys?" I usually bring my purse with me everywhere but today I figured there was just no reason to carry it around so I respond, " Nope, I didn't bring it today." Then Kev informs me that in the rush to get out the door he grabbed his scriptures but forgot to grab his keys. GREAT! He has a spare key hidden on the car so getting to church was no problem. However, after church we all assembled in the backyard where Kev is sure he left the bedroom window unlocked and we can get entry into the house from there. Well, after removing the screen and bending the frame so it won't go back on the window without "tweaking it" with tools, we find out that the window is locked. All the windows are locked and we have NEVER given a spare key to any family members just in case this happens. Well, the only thing left to do was call a locksmith. Now of course my husband has his phone on him since he never goes anywhere without it. So this means this morning grabbing his cell phone and his scriptures took priority over the house and car keys. Gotta love the way he prioritizes! Well, after waiting about 40 minutes and enduring Keaton & Bailey Rose reminding us over and over that they feel like they are going to die of starvation, the locksmith came and quoted us $120.00 plus the $35 trip charge to unlock ONE simple lock. Are you kidding me? This was NOT in our budget! Well, after the locksmith opened the door in seconds flat my husband was able to talk him down to $70.00 total. Still it was not in our budget but it is better then $155!
