I Know Shocking

I know I'm a little ahead of my monthly post, but I actually had time today believe it or not. I just may have gotten the time I need to keep up on this a little more frequently. I am really going to try on this especially because the next few months are going to get busy with all my children's birthday's coming up and the holiday season, can't wait. I just had to also write down my scary moment yesterday. It was about noon and I was going to be going to Walmart to get Abby her stuff for school. I had just fed Matthew and put him down to play. I was in my room doing some laundry when I heard Abby out in the back dumping out the dog's water. I went out and she also hadn't closed the door, so I closed it and went to water the dog. Isn't this always when I get into trouble, when I go to water the dog? Dang dog. Anyway, Abby tries to get in and says it's locked. I try and sure enough the door is locked. We have a wood stick that must have fallen when I closed the door and we were locked out. I go to the garage and that door has the child safety lock on, as does the front door, along with the deadbolt. I look at the front window the top lock is unlocked and I get all excited until I look at the bottom and it's locked. I then try the girl's and Matthew's windows, both locked. I am hot and freaking out because Molly and Matthew are inside. My phone, and keys are all inside. Not that it would matter if I had keys because all the child locks are on. I go to the garage door with the child lock and I start banging hoping the lock will pop open, no luck. Then I go to the back door and keep opening and closing the door hoping that the stick will fall, again no such luck. I could open the top a bit so I was even trying to stick a golf club and wood stick in there to try and knock the wood off the door. I also tried calling Molly to come and maybe do something. Nothing was working. I really start freaking out because I don't know how to get in. I think, well aside from breaking something I am out of options. I then say a prayer because I didn't know what to do and I needed help big time. After the prayer I thought okay I haven't tried the kitchen window, so I find a screw driver and pop off the screen and it's locked. Then I get the feeling to try my bedroom window. I feel like it's a lost cause but it is my last option. Amazingly, it is unlocked, which is strange because usually it is locked. I was able to get into my house with out breaking something and then causing a financial hardship. I was so thankful to my Heavenly Father, I immediately said a prayer of thanks. It was a scary 30-40 minutes, thankfully it worked out in the end.
