this sums me up pretty well.

yesterday i went to my stepmama's work to drop off a copy of the house of heroes album for her and pick up a cookbook she had for my sister.pretty even exhange i'd say.and i locked the keys in my car.with saylor still in there!!! aagh.for some reason it took about 20 seconds for it to fully sink in and i just stood there frozen.then i tried calling colin who was at home with a spare key.he was sleeping and his ringer was turned off [which i hate and have forbidden him from doing ever again,ahem]. called my mom, maybe she could go pound on our door and wake colin up? called AAA who told me i needed to call 911 since i had a child in the car it was an 'emergency' and they couldn't help me. called 911 and they sent out the fire department to me.colin woke up and then started driving as maybe he'd get there first. i cry a bit, saylor cries off and on.nancy came down and waited with me..im mostly feeling bad that i can't touch my son and 'save' him and frustrated that colin turns his ringer off.ha.so the fire dpt arrives and asks how i am and i'm all solemn like 'i'm ok,sigh' and they walk around my car and the guy says 'you know, this door's unlocked'. well SHOOT! what do you know.the driver's door was unlocked the whole time. oh my lord talk about stupidity.you feel dumb for locking keys in your car.you feel worse if your child is in there.it's a whole other level of dumbness when you wait and it becomes a big ordeal only to discover,no no,your door is in fact unlocked, you just didn't see that because you are retarded. but honestly i think it's hilarious.my friends and i truly love akward/embarassing/lack of common sense stories.and we have a lot of them. [including-pooping in sleep-on new boyfriends floor-while he watched... forgetting lyrics of a song and freezing in front of a couple hundred people, getting a toe stuck in a church pew for 2 hours,bathing suit top falling off and being unaware,clogging toilets,dog sitting while the family goes out of town for a funeral-and the dog dies,blood soaked pants at work and walking around unaware, wearing a swim suit top backwards and not realizing it...and so so so many more...]
saylor is still in pain,he has not walked since tuesday! we ended up getting xrays so thankfully there are no broken bones but it showed a sprain on his foot.he's starting to crawl a little bit.and he can kinda stand on his good foot while holding onto something.it's been pretty easy keeping an eye on him the last few days,it feels like he's 8 months old again,haha.but it is sad too,knowing he hurts.he has been brave though and is still a happy little boy.the doctor told us today not to try to make him do anything and let him decide when he wants to walk again.and no shoe for that swollen foot. [and yes i put shoes on him yesterday at the hair salon.eeek]
here are a couple pictures of saylor at jayme's salon gettin' a quick haircut.
patiently sitting in the chair, since he can't walk!

yay, thank you aunt jayme
