You may be wondering why a picture of our lock is posted on the girls' blog. Well, that lock (and the door it is part of) has been a thorn in my side since it was ordered. On the original installment date (back in October)the door arrived broken. It was re-ordered but when the men came to install it, they discovered it opened in the wrong direction. So...it was re-ordered again. At the third installment, the wrong lock was put in. Finally, the correct locks were installed. Then a week later we discovered that the door did not close properly and could be pulled open even while locked. So the installers came again. All good right? After all it is only 6 months after the original order!
However, after grocery shopping and a trip to the library, we arrive home only to discover I cannot open the door. It is unlocked but jammed. Frantically, I called Andy (to come and help) and Lowes (to rant and rave at them). Andy cannot open the door, although he provided a welcome relief and the voice of reason/calm for the girls. Finally, over two hours later, the locksmith is able to get us in. Abria is happily napping, Alette is watching 'Beauty and the Beast' (yes, I am using tv as an escape/diversion) and I've got my coffee.
Thank goodness Andy works nearby. Thank goodness it wasn't colder out. Andy has volunteered to go to Lowes to straighten the whole mess out-good call since he is much more diplomatic than I am in these circumstances.

That is ridiculous.
i also would need to send someone in my place for fear of a lack of "diplomacy" from me! :)
