February 11, 2010--Jay saves the day

We had a co-op Valentine's Day party to go to today. I also had scripts for Anne of Green Gables to pass out to the students, and we'd made homemade cupcakes to take. I started the van to warm it up and went back inside to get everyone ready to go and turn off lights and everything. While I was in the house, one of the kids somehow hit the lock button and shut the van door. So it was time to leave and all of my stuff was in the locked, running van.

I called our friends that I was supposed to pick up and take with me and told them the situation, and her husband said he guessed he could take some of them, but they didn't have enough room for all of them. So we were trying to figure out who would get to go and who was going to be really, really late, since Erick was going to have to come all the way home from work and unlock it before I could go. I had called him and he'd told me he thought there was an extra set of keys in a box on the front porch, but I looked all through them and the only keys I found didn't fit.

After making all the arrangements and waiting for the friends to come over to get two of our kids, Jay came in with a set of keys! Apparently we had put them in the lock box and hadn't thought to look there. We managed to call Erick back before he left to come rescue us, and our friends before her husband had to get changed and get ready to go, and amazingly enough we were only ten minutes late after all that. We were all very happy with Jay. Even the girls thought he deserved a dollar or something.
