Help I'm Stuck
Now that I have regained my composure I can laugh about what happened to me this morning. I had only been up maybe a half an hour when nature called so I go into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I don't like an audience while I go pee. Seth was ready crying at the door by the time I was done. I go to open the door and it is stuck. I twist and turn the handle to no avail. It would not budge. Ben figured I was stuck and came to the door to see if he c0uld open it from the other side, he was unable. Well if he couldn't open it he would go watch a little T.V. Meanwhile Seth is still screaming at the door. I started to panic I was seriously stuck and the only person that could help me would rather watch Clifford. I told Ben he really needed to open the front door and go to the neighbors and get help. He said he can't open the door, although he has done it before- dang those child safety knobs. I was frantic I started banging on the walls and ceiling screaming at the top of my lungs "I'M STUCK IN MY BATHROOM! I'M STUCK IN MY BATHROOM" . The whole time praying that I would be able to get out. I told Ben to get the phone still banging on the walls. I tell Ben to press 3 press 3 again press 1 press the 2 hit the 2 again hit 2 one more time press the 4 and now hit the gray button in the middle. I started praying Ben would be able to figure it out and that Cathie would answer her phone when I heard a sweetest voice I ever heard asking if I was alright and that she can't get to door unstuck. Then she asked if I had a screw driver. Seth still was crying. She was my neighbor from upstairs whom I had woken up with all the screaming and banging. She couldn't find our screw diver and ran upstairs to get hers. She brought her boyfriend and a screw diver back down and was able to rescue me. Thank goodness. I am however a little embarrassed my a apartment was a wreck and bathroom in a good need of a scrub and me stuck in the bathroom in my garment top. Seth wouldn't let me set him down for about an hour, he seemed to more traumatized than I was but it did take me almost as long as him to calm down. I now have a nice blister on may hand from trying so hard to open the door. Anyway I'm out and safe that's all that matters.

HA HA WHOLY COW. STUCK IN THE BATH ROOM WITHTWO BABYS AND ONE OF THEM DIDN'T EVEN CARE. YOUR NEIGHBOR FROM UPSTAIRS (DOES SHE LIVE WITH GOD AND JESUS?) HEARD YOU SCREAMING. SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. "HELP ME I'M STUCK IN THE BATHROOM.!!!" GOOD ONE JILL. REALLY , I'M GLAD YOUR SAFE!!!!
So funny. Okay, probably not at the time. Good thing you can laugh about it now. You've got to love how those types of things always happen at the most inconvenient times (ie-still in garments:)and not at times when your husband is home anyway.
That is a funny story but scary. I am glad that you got out and are safe.
you have had more problems with that apartment, I swear! Had it been me, Drew would have been screaming too. I'm glad you made it out!
I couldn't help laughing - but totally sympathizing too!
So glad you got out safe! Don't you love getting caught with a dirty house and your garments? That was my story too when I had to be rescued by the postman. So embarassing!
Yikes! I'm sorry you had to go through that! Atleast your still in one piece.
Oh my goodness! That is some story. It sounds like you did the right thing though, and thank heaven for neighbors sleeping in the middle of the day!!
