She's super-freaky, yow
Super freak, super freak
You know this song? It's me. (Not the rest of the song, just this part!) I am a super freak. So yesterday I was at Costco doing some shopping for Tate's bday (today!) I am loading the boys into the car and it is so disgustingly hot that I start the car before I get them in so that the AC can cool it a little bit. I shut the door, walk around to get in, and the door is locked. Both doors are locked and the boys are inside. It is 1 in the afternoon and 110 degrees outside. The car is on, and the AC is on, but my AC sucks until you have been driving like 10 minutes and then it feels like it is working. So I stop this lady walking by and ask her to stand by my car while I go and find someone in Costco that can maybe help. A manager comes out to the car with me and he calls the fire department. Meanwhile, Tate is totally oblivious to everything, and thinks that since he is alone in the car that this is the perfect opportunity to try and open all the food. Tanner is crying, and his cheeks are getting all red like he is hot. Periodically Tate will reach over and try and put Tanner's binky in his mouth like a dutiful brother. This goes on for what feels like FOREVER, and then two police cars and a fire engine come barreling down the way with their lights on. I see the police car and I get a little worried because I don't have Tate's car seat with me, it's in Chris' car. So Tate was just strapped into the seat belt. I'm thinking, "Great, I am going to get a ticket too." Two minutes later the door is open and it is actually cooler in there than I thought. So I take the boys out and kiss them all over their sweet red cheeks, and feel like a complete jerk. Looking back, I actually remember hitting the lock button when I was getting Tanner in the car. And no, I didn't get a ticket.
I told you. She's a super freak, super freak

That is so scary! I am sure they were completely fine but you were just a worried mom. Anyway, that's a whole lotta excitement, glad everything turned out ok!
I can see myself doing something like that... oh wait, I have! I guess that's the good thing about being married to a mechanic, as long as I'm somewhere where he can come rescue me I'm good! At least you had turned the air on!
I once locked my keys in the car while I was getting gas! Thankfully that was my old car, in my honda I can't lock myself out. It's a good thing because it probably would've already happened multiple times...
oh my! i would share a similar story, but i'm too embarrassed to do it where others can read. i'll tell you about it on the phone. maybe. glad it all worked out...ticketless. that's a plus.
I love the title of this post and the song. What a crack up! And don't worry, we've all done it! Or at least I have.... when Ellie was only 6 weeks old... in the dead of summer. I think it's just part of the initiation to real motherhood.
I have done this too while running an errand for Rusty one time. The lady at the store I was at said "Why would you leave your kids in the car by themselves?" Ummm...yea I thought I would sweat my kids to death. Like I did it on purpose!!! Anyways - glad you got in ok. And no, you are not a super freak...just a normal mom!
I LOVE that story!! I can totally see how that would happen! I would freak out too!! At least the air was on. I bet your glad it is all over!
This sounds scary! But no...you are not a freak. If I had a dime for every time my mom locked us in the car. :) I'm glad you didn't get a ticket and that those cute boys were ok!
Holy Crap...you are lucky you started the car! I so would do the same thing!
Its so scary..i like this title & also story thanks...
