A MOM "FIRST"...

...for me, at least!  I am sure this has happened to MANY moms out there - humor me, PLEASE!    I don't want to think for a second that I am the only one!

I LOCKED MY KIDS IN THE CAR!  Yes, yes - I am ashamed to say so.  I was on the phone, not paying attention, and OOPS!  I honestly can't recall exactly how that happened, but I'll take the blame for it 100%.  Tyler was still buckled in, and because these carseats really are childproof, he couldn't get himself out to unlock it.  Believe me, I tried to get him to!  Mallory was next to him, cool as a cucumber (for the first 10 minutes).  

I have to give a "shout out" to USAA Roadside Assistance.  They came through with flying colors to help a sorry soul like myself.  15 minutes after the phone call and they were there.  Thank goodness I put that sticker on my windshield!  And, luckily I had the phone in my hand when I exited the car.  (Kind of ironic, isn't it?)  It was 60 degrees and shady where I was parked, so I was okay with them in the car, and they were okay.  Or, I would have dialed Marietta's finest officers to help me out.  

When we were done, we went into the store and bought envelopes and glue, and had a good laugh about it.  

RUNNIN' ON CAFFEINE

Well, so much for keeping up with my journal!  I thought this would be a great way to let out my vents, thoughts, desires, concerns, etc. and well, obviously, I am releasing these things via voice and I am sure those poor souls would rather I'd type more!  So, let's give it another shot and try to be a little more up-to-date on my entries.  

I am taking a super quick break from printing final orders from Cotton Pickin' (and STILL dusting off the dirt from my products) while sipping my 1 cup a day of coffee (doctors orders when breastfeeding) that I didn't finish earlier this morning.  Mmmmmm.......  Mallory is sleeping (poor thing is so irritable - teething for sure!) and Tyler is still in school (that $10 for enrichment after school was WORTH IT!).  So, back to work.  

I promise I'll keep up this time.  PROMISE!
