Locked Out

So on this lovely rainy morning I decided to take the kids to school. When Kyra, Amikai, and I got home we opened the garage and went to open the door to the house only to discover IT WAS LOCKED.....

"This can't be good" responded Amikai. "Who locked the Door?" (me) "It wasn't me mom" (kyra)

So we went to all the doors and windows around the house, but of course they were all locked. The 15+ keys I was given when we bought the house were all in a perfect place INSIDE THE HOUSE.....Great! So now what???????

1. Checked for any open doors or windows...FAIL

2. Attempt to open lock with safety pin and screw driver....FAIL

3. Prayer....finally success

4. Kick door open with foot!!!! yay we made it in

5. Repair broken door frame to the best of ones ability.....still needs paint! :)

So after this ordeal was over I was thinking.... One kick of a foot to knock a door down, and I care about my house because it's mine. But what about someone who does not care? What about a thief? That's all it would take is a little kick on the door or a broken window.


So I came to a couple conclusions......

1. Put a key on my key ring duh....
2. Put a key outside just in case I can't get in the garage and break the door down.
3. If a piece of wood is all that stands between you and your safety then GET A BIGGER GUN......
