Are you kidding me?

Home inspection not passed. Perilous infraction endangering the lives of parent and child: Dead bolt on front door needs a turn knob; not just a key remaining permanently in the lock.

When Kim called me and told me this, before shock, i think i was legitimately angry. Are you kidding me? Home inspection failed bc of that? However, God placed kim at the scene of the infraction and not me for a reason: I may have just flipped out. Actually, i told Kim to call her back right away and let her know that I was on my way to home depot and the illegal lock situation would be remedied in 3.6 hours so tell her to hang out, give her some cake balls, throw some wine down her throat, and ill be there before you know it. Yeah, she just left and rescheduled for another date/time when she could drive all the way from wherever she came to inspect our lock. Awesome.

UGH...As always, there was a take away from this madness: As parents, there will be a limitless supply of little "infractions," mostly caused by our kids, that will require cool headed and creative reaction. Perhaps via temperance and tolerance, we can learn how to be a bit proactive too.

After all, you can strangle inspectors and get all Hitchcock on eluding the feds (just kidding inspectors...and feds), but im fully expecting our children to entirely melt our hearts, and I, for one, am not of the sort who comes back easily from a good melting.

Wow...This blog is therapeutic and forcibly introspective. Who knew?
