Unlock the door

When my husband comes home, he wants to arrive at a house with the door unlocked so he doesn't have to fumble with his key. I'm afraid I often forget to unlock it for him. I get home, perhaps minutes earlier, carrying groceries, talking to my daughter, thinking about dinner, etc. etc. I simply don't remember. If I do forget, my husband's first comments as he walks in the door are an angry, snarling attack at my incompetence. It upsets me, my heart pounds, and I begin to sweat. Then, I get a grip and say, 'hello, dear, welcome home".
