I left in the morning for an appt and it ran fine. I came back home and it sat for about 2 hrs and I went back out to go to another appt but it would not start. I didnt leave anything on to kill the battery. I also have inside lights when i open the door but when I turn the key it just clicks dont turn over or nothing. The click sound that I hear seems to be coming from the selenoid area. I tried moving my battery cables and the selenoid wires but nothing.

sounds to me that your battery may be dying, it doesnt matter if you leave something on to drain the batteyr or not sadly, one a battery is going to go its going to go. try cleaning the posts and connectors for corrosion. if that all check out try to jump start it, if it fires right up, then you have foudn your problem, a bad batt.
