Craziness

We've had a crazy couple of weeks. Three weeks ago we left San Antonio to visit family in Eldorado, TX. We finally got to meet the newest addtion to this side of the family; Addison 20 months, Chandler 18 months and Garrett 3 months (check out Facebook for pictures). My mom, grandparents and nieces also made the trip so my aunt Debbie had quite a full house. Troy stayed for the weekend but then had to leave on Sunday to go back to work on Monday. On 7/30 the VA crew headed home and I headed back to San Antonio to surprise Troy (I know, I'm so sweet). Aunt Debbie let me take her Suburban back so that Troy wouldn't have to come and get me. We made it back without getting lost and no help from a GPS. If you ask me that's pretty impressive! We spent the next couple of days getting Troy ready to go out in the field.

Troy was scheduled to be out in the field for the next 3 weeks coming home only on the weekends so Mollie and I stayed in San Angelo with my cousin Amanda. I had decided to leave on Tuesday morning to make the trip to San Angelo. Of course Mollie woke up grouchy that morning so I was doing anything and everything to make her happy. We had taken one load of luggage to the car and had gone back in to get the remaining bags. Mollie grabbed the keys off of the counter and was so happy so I just let her carry them. I got the bags in the car and buckled Mollie into her carseat. I grabbed the keys and tossed them up on the console. I got out of the car and shut the door. As soon as the door shut I heard "CLICK". I knew exactly what had happened. Mollie had clicked the remote and the doors were locked. I checked every door twice. All of them were locked. The keys, my purse, my phone, everything locked inside the car along with Mollie. GREAT!! I ran into the hotel and told the front desk then ran outside to wait for the police. A few minutes later two police officers showed up and took me to jail. HAHA Just kidding. They actually said they had no way to open the doors so we would have to wait for the Pop a Lock. After what seemed like hours the Pop a Lock guy showed up and opened the door in about 3 1/2 seconds. Poor little Mollie was soaked in sweat but not too upset. She had cried a little but was very calm overall. Can you believe the lock man didn't charge me a penny? Thank you Pop a Lock man.

We finally got on the road headed to Eldorado and then San Angelo. Of course the GPS was still not working so we followed old school mapquest directions. Of course I missed the turn to Eldorado and ended up going all the way to Ozona which was probably about 40 miles past my turn. Luckily we had been to Ozona the week before and I knew how to get to Eldorado from there. We eventually made it to Eldorado and San Angelo. Wow, what a long day!!
