What a Way to Start the Day!!

Oh my goodness!! It is too freakin' cold here!! I seriously heard on the radio this morning that tomorrow will "warm up to 2"!!! Well, with the wind and the below zero temperatures, my little old house has a hard time staying warm. Jaden woke up around 4:30 this morning and was freezing! Mike went in and grabbed her out of her bed and brought her to ours. I then went to the couch. I was nice and warm in bed but knew that if I wanted that final hour and a half of sleep, I needed to leave... three plus Jude in a bed doesn't work. I went to the FREEZING COLD couch (it's right under the windows) and shivered back to sleep. When my alarm went off at 6:00, I pressed the snooze for five more minutes. It went off again and I again slept for five more minutes. So, by the time I get my cold little butt off the couch, I'm already 25 minutes behind schedule (I usually get up at 5:45). I auto-started my car at 6:40. By the time I got out to my car, I was running so late! I had planned on leaving at five or ten til because of the road conditions. I was at my car around 7:05. I unlocked it, put all of my crap in the back, put my keys in the ignition, pressed unlock, and proceeded to scrape off my car. I was scraping my car when all of a sudden, my car LOCKED THE KEYS IN ITSELF!!! So, I'm standing there in the 20 below wind chilled weather with a scraper in my hand saying mean things to my car as I unsuccessfully try to open each door. So I slammed my scraper on the trunk of my car and grab my cell phone. I had no choice but to call Mike and have him unlock the front door so I could get my spare key. This is the second time it has happened! I THINK I've figured out why though. When I am in my car and I start it with the key in the ignition, the car automatically locks itself. I'm sure it does the same thing with the auto-start. When I unlock my car with the auto-start on, I'm fine. I put the key in the ignition, the door remained unlocked, but I still press unlock JUST IN CASE. What I think happened is the auto-start turned off and since my key was in the ignition, it kept running BUT, since the car was TECHNICALLY just starting, it locked. Ugh!

Just be thankful that Jaden wasn't locked INSIDE the car, or that you weren't out there without a coat, or that you weren't somewhere else where you couldn't get to your spare key. NO! I'VE NEVER DONE ANY OF THOSE THINGS!!!!

WOW! I am glad Jaden wasn't in the car. I read so fast to see if that was in the story... WHEW! Glad it worked out. Kick Mike out of bed next time. You're the pregnant one!
