Well, I am sitting in a hotel room at 11:30 at night in Houston... Grateful! Grateful to be in this room. We we got here around 9pm. Bella wanted to go up to the room with her siblings to watch cartoons, while me and Brett had a drink in the lobby with my aunt and uncle. So we took them up and got them situated. Bella and I were calling and texting while they were in the room and I was in the lobby. She was asking me exactly how much I was going to pay her for this babysitting job. At about 10pm I noticed she had not texted me for about 5 minutes, so I immediately went up to the room. I waved my key card in front of the door, pushed the door opened and it was bolted! She had bolted it shut. So I began to knock hard.... Harder... Started yelling into the room. Noting. Went to the lobby to get Brett. He did the same and then some. Midway between the knocking and the yelling a man came out of his room to give Brett a piece of his mind and needless to say... That did not go so well. So at this point the hotel wants to kick us out but yet our kids are locked in one of their rooms. So I decide that I am just going to sleep outside the door of our room until Bella wakes up. So I go up there and sit. A few minutes later a sweet cowboy and his wife walk by. They check on me and have mercy on me and the situation. So they come up with a plan. A plan to use a coat hanger to somehow unlock the swinging bolt. So he rangles the coat hanger and twist and turns and twist and turns. The complaints start coming into the lobby again. Man the people at this hotel are edgy and love their peace and quite starting at 10pm, no exceptions. The cowboy from heaven keeps working. I hear a click, the door shuts, he waves the key in front of the lock... the door opens! Oh, Praise The Lord! Lesson learned. The babysitter is fired! For good. ☺Not really, bless her heart.

Ugh!! I'm so annoyed at all those guests - none of them were concerned? Wow! Are you still in Houston?? What are the chances I can actually meet your sweet family??
OH NO!! I can't believe the staff couldn't help you in some way!
