And The Award For Procrastinator Of The Year Goes To...

Nathan!

Congrats! Come pick up your award...later

The kids and I needed to go to Walmart. Well, since the power had been going off & on, I decided that I wouldn't do the very top deadbolt strap on the front door in case the power was out when we got home (b/c the garage door won't work if there's no power). So, I locked the lock on the knob and the lower deadbolt on the front door, all three locks on the back door, and just the bottom lock on the door that leads in from the garage.

Well, sure enough, I got home & the power's out. So, I unloaded the kids & the stuff I bought and went to the front door. Get the bottom lock unlocked and then my key wouldn't go all the way in the deadbolt. WTF? I tried & tried and couldn't get it in.

So, I called Nathan and say "WTH is wrong with the deadbolt on the front door? I can't get my key in it!"

He says, "Oh, it needs some WD40 squirted in it. It started that right after the hurricane. I've been meaning to do it."

I said, "Oh, you've been meaning to for a week & a half, and just haven't gotten around to it, huh? Where's the WD40?"

DH says, "Um, in the garage, I think."

So, there I stood with 3 bags , 2 hungry kids, and no way inside.

I loaded the kids back into the van, leaving 2 of my 3 bags beside the door (if anyone wants to steal laundry detergent & night diapers, go right ahead), and I drove to the Dollar Store. Guess what? Yeah...they didn't have power either!

So, I ended up at the grocery store (no way was I going back to WM) where I had to pay $5 for a can of WD40 that I need one squirt out of!
