a sort of a funny thing happened today..

Oh one time I locked myself in the garage. I don't know what I was thinking that I hit the lock button on the way out but alas... I could not get back in the house. Hannah was upstairs but there is a gate blocking the steps so she couldn't come down to unlock it and she was upstairs hollering for me. Of course the front door was ALSO locked. so I had to open the garage door, scrape and bruise the heck out of my arm trying to get the back gate unlatched and got to the backdoor where our "lock" is a board in the door. I got to the backdoor and was knocking and trying to give hannah instructions through the glass door to pull the wood panel out so I could get in lol. She eventually figured out what I was talking about but not before the neighbor heard me frantically trying to get Hannah to unlock the door and asked if everything was OK lol. I was like "Uh... yeah I just locked myself out of the house with Hannah INSIDE the house" lol Thank God Hannah is good at following instructions.

Carole- at least if you are locked in the bathroom, it is there if you need it.

Don't any of you habitual locker outers have a spare key hidden outside or with a neighbor? LOL..you should!

Definitely! I have one of those combination lock thingies that has a key inside and hangs on the front doorknob - part of my medical alert program so EMT's can be notified by the alert center and get in the house if I am unable to get to the door to let them in. Do I remember the combination to open it and get the key to let myself in if I lock myself out???? - heck no!
