If you want to laugh at me...

Listen to this dumbass story.

The battery on my car remote has been dying, but I haven't cared enough to change it. When I can't get it to work, I just use the key in the door.

Today after work I stopped at the supermarket to pick up dinner before it snows. (We're supposed to get like 10 inches tonight)

I could NOT get the clicker to work, so I put the key in my door....and I think the lock is frozen, since it's like 15 degrees. My only option was to open the trunk, put down the back seat, and crawl to pop the back door open. Which was OK until I had to figure out how the hell to get out of the trunk. And we're talking sedan, not SUV (we just got a Jeep, and my husband wanted to take it today for the first and last time before it's mine) Talk about fatty problems.

Seriously embarrassing. And now I'm worried I did something to my baby, of course, because I laid on my stomach weird to get in the trunk. I'm pretty sure I'd know if I did something...right? UGH.

    Haha I did something similar when I was still breastfeeding/pumping. I had nowhere private to pump, so I went into the back of our Ford Escape. There was no way to open the hatchback from the inside so I had to almost fall out to get it open. So don't feel too bad!

    Hahaha, awesome visual. Why couldn't you just go out the back doors though?

    I'm sure you and baby are fine. I have to lie on my stomach and contort myself into crazy pretzel shapes pretty much every day to retrieve all the crap DS shoves behind the couch and under his bed.

    I am sure you and baby are fine, and I'm glad you can laugh about this now that it's over! 

    I used to have that same key problem all the time. My button was permanently broken, not just the battery. And the lock would freeze all the time. I had a little device that was like a mini key that would get hot when you pushed a button. And another thing that was like the de-icing spray that you use on the windshield, but a key-shaped device that would spray it in the lock. I don't really remember where I got either of them. Maybe AutoZone. It might be handy to keep in your purse if there's any chance you could end up in this predicament again!

    Lol! This seriously happened about a month ago to a girl I know. She is also pg but 6 weeks further than me so I'm guessing she was around 22 weeks then. I cracked up at her because after crawling through the trunk to the front of her little car it was then that she realized that she could have put the key in the hole!! She had not even thought to try that... I'm sure you're fine :-) I sure love the story though!

    As soon as I emerged from the trunk a lady parks by me with a kid. I needed that kid like 3 minutes earlier! Although that may have been super creepy "hey can your kid climb in my trunk?"
