Oh being a mom is so humbling! So on Monday I had a "moment". Somehow I locked Annabelle and my keys in the car in the Target parking lot. I threw my keys in my purse, threw that in the front seat, coaxed Annie into her carseat shut the door and could not get back in. I am asking Annie if she can unbuckle herself she tries no luck, which is probably a good thing. I can't go inside she is in the car, no cell in my purse. So I finally find someone in the parking lot that is NOT on the phone. Call Luke and he brings me another set of keys. Meanwhile I am entertaining her through the window and acting like this is normal as people around me are getting in and out of thier cars. I never hit the panic button, this not that abnormal for us, unfortunately. Humbling more than anything. I asked Luke if he should let me care for our daughter, his loving response, do I have another choice? Reason # 842 why God would never give us multiples.

so i am scared to admit my latest dumb/scary mistake. we drove home and took the highway none the less and when i went to get lucy out of her carseat to feed her, i took off the blanket and she was NOT BUCKLED in! AHHHHHHH! i started bawling! we had taken her buckels off at the resturant so she could move around and then i covered her up cause she was cold and then we just stuck her in the car! scary. that is when i feel His Grace the most!
