Well my morning started out good. I woke up early took a shower, fixed my hair, ran to the grocery store, grabbed my izzy girl and then I headed out the door.
Both of the showers were in Lawton so I made the drive down the highway, which I have made 10,000,000,000 times before. I stopped in chickasha to get gas which I have also done a billion times before. I got back into my car after i filled up to head down the highway.
My... Car.... Won't .... Start...
I don't have any jumper cables so I went into the gas station to see if they had any to buy... Nope! Nothing! So I asked the first nice couple that I see if they have any jumper cables and luckily they did! The nice man drove around to my car and gave me a jump. All was good until I....
Locked.... My.... Keys... In... The.... Car. . . .
Yes. I locked my keys in the car. I have never in all my years of driving either had car trouble like this or locked my keys in my car. And let me remind you that my poor Izzy girl is still in the car. Luckily my car was still running and the air was on.
I saw two highway patrol cars in the parking lot and so I went into the gas station to find them to ask if they could help me unlock my car. I walked up to them and said,"I know I am not supposed to approach you, but I locked my keys in my car and I was hoping you had something or you might know how to unlock my car.". They both had pretty strict poker faces on and I thought they were going to be rude and not help me. It wasn't until I muttered the words "my dog is still in the car!" that their faces melted and they came out to my car to see if they could help. It turned out that they both had small dogs so maybe that helped me!
One of the officers went back into the gas station and came out with two wire hangers. I was hoping that they would know what to do because I didn't want to call a locksmith and wait for hours and then pay a bunch of money to unlock my car. Oh and on a side note I had my spare keys in my purse, in my car. And on another side note my husband is working an extra job so he was trying to get extra sleep to get ready for that so I didn't want to call and disturb him.
Back to my day..
While one of the officers was working on my car, two girls in a van came over and told me that they just went through the exact same thing with their car and they knew some tricks to unlock the door. Nothing was working. Either the hanger was too short or it wasn't strong enough to push the button.
My poor Izzy girl had no clue what was going on. She even got poked by they hanger on accident. She had her paws up on the door and another hope we had was that maybe she would press one of the buttons. Even if she pressed the window button that would help. Well she did press a button, the lock button..
After almost an hour and three ohp officers later, on a last little effort one of the officers tried something different and unlocked my car!! Praise Jesus!!!
I am so thankful for all of the kind people that either helped me or tried to comfort me. Things could have been a lot worse. I am thankful that all of that happend in daylight and in a crowd of people. God was definitely watching out for me this morning and I am so grateful that He kept me safe through the whole mess of everything.
Oh and let me just say that all of this happend before 9:30 this morning.
What a day!
The end...
Allison
