worth every penny...

you know how you hear of these parents who leave their children in the car while it's running and somehow they end up locking them in there? i have always wondered how in the world that could happen. i mean really...that takes some pretty careless people to do that. or so i thought...until it happened to me! my stomache is still in knots just thinking about it. yes, i have joined the club of one of "those" parents...shame on me.


john and i were taking food to a couple who just had twins from our church. we decided to leave greyson in the car because he was content and we'd only be a second. john shut off the car and i told him to turn it back on so it didn't get to warm in there. lalala...we deliver the food, ooo and ahhh at the adorable twin boys, and proceed to go to our car to leave. john got there first and realized his door was locked...the back door was locked...oh no, panic was setting in....all the doors were locked! our precious little boy was in the car. the locked car. so we went inside and asked to borrow a phone. we were going to call my parents to bring us a spare set of keys when it dawned on me-we have onstar. hallelujah! so we called and within five minutes our car was unlocked and we were singing praises! :) :) :) talk about one of the scariest times in my life. i don't know who invented onstar, but i now think it's one of the best inventions ever. i think after our free year runs up, we'll keep on paying for it. i think it's worth every penny!



lesson learned...that's for sure!
