Another Gas Station Catastrophe!!!

I know, I know. You might be thinking what in the world could be worse than my last episode when the "diesel" nozzle wouldn't fit in the car before I realized I had the wrong nozzle! WELL, this morning, I dropped the kids off at school and was running a few errands before we left town. We were leaving for the airport at 10am to head to Chicago for our annual Christmas alone without kids find ourselves enjoy our marriage and enjoy food, shopping and miscellaneous weekend. So I knew I had exactly one hour and 45 minutes to accomplish a bunch of tasks and meet Scott to leave.

So I pull up at the pump chatting with dear Dana and talking away. I scan my card, select my gas, still chatting, the nozzle fit and pump away. I hang up from dear Dana and go to the door to put my gas card back in the pocket of the door. And the door was locked. I looked in and low and behold, the keys are out of the ignition sitting on the console and I had locked the door. Not only that, but the second spare set was in my purse from our trip over Thanksgiving and my purse was sitting in the passenger seat. This is the part where I absolutely cracked up laughing and lost it!!! Luckily I had my phone.

So I looked at the man on the other side of the pump. He looked at me. I told him what I had done. And I said to him, "If I dial my husband's number, will you tell him what I've done??!!" He said, "Sorry ... can't help you with that!!!" So I dialed Scott's office and luckily, his manager named Scott as well, answered. I explained to Scott M what happened and did he have any ideas. His response was .... "Hmmmm...if I hypothetically locked both sets in the car at the gas station, what would I do?" Yeah, Scott was standing in the office with him and I hear, "Are you serious? She seriously has done this?"

Well .... to make a long story short, once again PRAISE THE LORD for OnStar!!! Even though he had not set up the account, he was able to call them and set it up and they unlocked my door for me!!! This took about 10 minutes so I called dear Dana back to share my uncanny luck, had another good laugh and waited until Scott called me back!!

I have come to a conclusion .... one, I think I was being tested in my response to this situation, two, I think Scott was definitely being tested in the situation and three, I know have an official pin for Onstar and their number in my cell phone!!! And four, I have to be the luckiest wife on the planet ..... how many other guys would put up with this???!!!!! I am grateful for the man God gave me .... He knew exactly what I needed :) Love you honey!! xoxoxo
