I know that this will come as a huge surprise for you, but I am not a wonderful mother. Want to hear a few of my funny and slightly scary anecdotes? I knew you did.
Brendan was about 5 months old, and I had to run to the store. I was a mile or so down the road when I realized that I had left Bren asleep in his crib. I rushed home, terrified that something bad had happened in the minute or so that I'd been gone, and he was still snoozing. I called Scott at work completely convinced that I was the most horrible mother on the planet.
When Bren was 2, we lived in Atlanta. Our cocker spaniel needed to go out, and I let Bren stay inside playing. A couple of minutes later, I tried to go back inside, but Brendan had locked the door. I tried to explain how to unlock it, but he just couldn't get it. I had to call Scott to come home from work to unlock the door.
Ellas was about 3 months old when I accidentally locked myself out of our house in Leeds. Ellas was in his bouncy seat on the coffee table, and I could see him through the living room window. Crissy came from her house to unlock the door for me.
God is good to protect my children from their mother. LOL

lol. Kim, cut yourself some slack! You sound like every other Mom I know out there, and that includes my own! My own story...I have a couple...I forgot to buckle Brandon in the carseat, not once but twice. I turned around and there he was in the car seat in the floor board. And I fondly remember "argueing" with him when he was 6 months old because he wouldn't eat. I'm sure I'm due for a couple more stories as time goes on!
