This is the oven in our apartment. While it frustrates me to no end, I am thankful for it!! It is a tool that helps me eat, which I like to do!! :)
One of my almost daily frustrations is lighting the gas stove in the apartment.
It is so fickle. Sometimes it will light right from the start and other times it takes many tries.
To light the stove you must first open the oven door, then you must hold in the oven knob, and lastly you must insert the igniter/match into the hole(while simultaneously holding the oven knob in because it's childproof). Sounds simple enough right? WRONG.
Just when you are about to jump for joy because the oven is lit and you release your hold on the oven knob, the flame goes out!! This is due to the fact that it is childproof(nice for those with children)and it requires a good 20-40 seconds of hold once you see flame. So, to succeed one must WAIT and have PATIENCE. Yay.
If a child can light this oven and keep it lit, then he should be renamed Baby Einstein!!

Ours was the same way. You'd wait about 60 seconds and then let go, and then it might stay on and you'd start loading the oven and then it would go out again after 30 seconds. Definitely annoying.
Shauna-you crack me up! You have more patience than most people I know. I really enjoyed reading your blog tonight. I wish you still lived down the hall and I could just come talk to you. I'll be praying for you and your travel arrangements. Love you!
