Re: What a day.............

[Guest guest]

Ugh Pam! I'm sorry you had a day from you know where. Luckily,

though you had the air conditioning on - with the weather as hot as

it is, you would have had to bust the window open yourself had the

air not been on. Don't you just love those happy little " safety

features? " Hope you got some good sleep last night, and you're

feeling better today!

Just what happened to my little clubfoot guy today. We went

swimming. When we left the YMCA he had fallen asleep. We went

home. There was a note taped on my front door (before I left I had

called the city because our sewer alarm was going off). I knew the

note had to be about this. I pulled in the driveway. Attempted to

open the garage door (our garage door opener is programmed into the

van) it wouldn't open. So I backed the van up a little because

that's what I usually have to do so it'll open it up. I had already

cracked my door. Not thinking about it when you place the van in

reverse it automatically locks all the doors (a safety feature ha!

not this time). I place the van in park go ahead and get out go and

retrieve the note read it go to get back in the van and..........all

the doors are locked. Both sets of keys are inside (one in the

ignition and one in my purse and is asleep in his carseat. But

the only good thing is the airconditioner is on. I call my husband

at work. He is not happy with me. I first tried to call OnStar

because our van is equipped with that. We actually had service for

the first year but I never renewed because there was always something

else I could do with that two hundred and some dollars at the time.

So I ask if they can sign me back up and immediatly open my doors.

Well turns out they couldn't because they had lost contact with my

car. The only way they could is if I pushed the blue button inside

the car. I start trying to wake up thinking maybe I can talk

him out of his carseat and into the front seat so he can push a

button to roll down the window or unlock the door or push that %&*@

blue onstar button. After fifteen minutes my knuckles were purple

and starting to swell a bit. New route. I called Cingular roadside

assistance and they start trying to find a locksmith for me. My

husband was already trying to find a locksmith at work. Another 10

minutes passes more knocking, hollering his name...he starts to wake

up but he is not going to cooperate. He is tired and mad. I call

the Sheriff's office. They are also sending an officer. He gets

there about 10-15 minutes later. He tries and tries and can't get it

open. My husband comes home from work in the meantime. The officer

did get one of the back windows popped open so we could talk to him

better. A wrecker shows up with instruments to pry the door open and

stick something through the door to push the automatic lock with....

in the meantime another locksmith calls and says he is on his way.

About 2 minutes later the wrecker guy gets it open. is happy

to be free. The van door does have a little scratch on it and the

window makes a little noise when you roll is up and down but he's out

and safe. (And my husband took away his key and told me never to use

it again--we were going to the pool it was so much easier there was

just one key on it) He just keeps telling everybody " My mommy locked

me in the car. " He also got a toy at Wal-Mart tonight without even

asking. I'm still upset about the whole thing. I'm going to bed.

Sorry such a long story. Just had to share my day.

Good night,
