Valentines on the curb

After a grueling day at work spent in training for a new system, I rushed over to Barnes and Noble to pick up Nick's Valentine present.  Last minute shopper I know, but when you work from noon to 8 PM, it's hard to get to the store.  But!  Today, I started at 8:30 AM, so I finally had a chance.

When I called to let him know I was on my way home and I could drive him to his evolution test, he was running to school in a frenzy thinking he had missed the deadline to take it.  I said I had a surprise for him and would come get him when he was through.  He said that sounded great, and we said goodbye.  I was soo excited to get home and wrap his gift up and start making dinner.  But when I got there, I went to open my front door and......it was deadbolted.

Big deal, who doesn't deadbolt their door?  Us......you see, our door is kinda special.....there is no key for that deadbolt so our landlord warned us never to lock it or we wouldn't be able to get in the house.  So in a panic, I call my husband to see if he had left any windows open or if he had any ideas, but of course, he didn't answer.  I tried texting, and leaving messages....nothing.  And on top of it all!  I had to pee.  What a cruel thing to do to a pregnant woman on a holiday devoted to love!!!!

Probably he just was in such a tizzy about his test, he didn't think before he left.  Oh well.  So I called up our landlord, who said, pooh I really don't have a key.  And he called a locksmith, and I had to wait an extra half hour for him to show up.  Sitting in my car, my bladder about to explode, I was debating hiding the gifts away for another day.

Eventually the locksmith showed up, and commented on what a ridiculous lock we had on our door.  Took him a few tries and several tools to finally get it open, to which I was extremely grateful.  I ran in and made a beeline for the bathroom.  Then he offered to try and make a key for us, which sure didn't work.  Well, it kinda did, but he said it would be better if we never had to use the key because it would take just as long for a locksmith to open it.  Oh well, at least we have a backup should Nick ever deadbolt us out again.....

So, happy Valentines Day!

No matter how many silly things you do Nick, I will always love you.  Hope you like your gifts!!  One of them is going to be a key, hahahaha
