Danelle (my daughter-in-law) sent this email to me at work one day last week. I thought you all would get a chuckle or two out of it! :)
Morning Robyn!
I hope your morning went better then mine…..
So our appraiser is supposed to come today at 1 pm and I decide to pick up the bbq cover and put it on the beast and do a few other little things this morning in the backyard…When I reach the glass patio door just as I'm about to open it Madi (the devils spawn she is) has just finished pushing down the latch and has locked me out of the house…….I"M LOCKED OUT…so I try beating the glass showing my lovely daughter how to pull the latch up through the glass….she just stares at me like I'm a alien…so I beat on the glass some more she actually touches the latch and then decides toys are way cooler then mommy looking like a fool on the back patio….I proceed to trek around to the front yard in my ultra stylish PJ's which I'm still in since I wasn't planning on anyone but my daughter seeing me for the next hour or so….I proceed to punch the codes into the garage door remote nothing happens I try again…nothing so I pop open the battery door WOW no battery go figure…Then I start looking anywhere for a key around the house of course no key because that would be to simple….I head to the next door neighbors rang the doorbell no answer checked their garage door remote for a 9volt battery but of course theirs is behind a screw which would require me to have a screwdriver…let me check my pink pjs and red slippers for that! We all know the answer there….so I go back to the house and I realize Steve's car is unlocked hmm there might be something in there lets hope…wrong again NOTHING…so as I'm getting out of the car and my humility sinks in that I'm going to have to go to the model home in pjs and red slippers I see a neighbor shaving on the front porch. Is he my savior? Let's hope. I walk to his house and ask him if he has a 9 volt battery he goes and looks and doesn't have one. HOLY CRAP my luck is unbelievable this morning! He then proceeds to ask me what I need it for so I explain that I went into the backyard and apparently my almost 2 year old daughter has learned to the lock the door. So he says he might have a master key forthe locks which could work and he ripped a 9 volt out of his fire alarm so with keys in hand and a battery I go back to the house?Try the keys no luck?.put the battery into the remote garage door opener and pray the code hasn't been lost because NO FRICKING BATTERY WAS IN THERE?.I type the code in and the garage popped open WOOO HOOOO I'm saved?.so how is your morning!
Danelle said that she was locked out for a total of about 30 minutes. Her house is completely child proof so she wasn't worried too much, but when she did get back in she found Madison standing in the middle of the family room, sucking on her fingers like she does just before she starts to cry. Guess a 30 minute vacation from mom was almost too long! hehe Needless to say that garage door opener has a new 9 volt battery now!
