I'm unfit to be a mother. I locked the baby inside the house today, after stepping quickly out onto the back patio to water a plant. I've tightened the security around here while the Mr. is travelling, and in doing so managed to secure myself outside the house by locking a knob we usually leave open. Next, I ran around like a lunatic to neighbor's houses not even knowing what I was going to ask them when I found someone. I just needed another human to help me think. Nobody was home, but thank god right then the neighbor across the street was arriving home. He "happened" to have a guy working on a construction project on his house. He went and quickly grabbed this guy but I was dubious. I'm anticipating having to call 911 at this point and cursing our insulation because I can't hear anything inside the house.
But next, it was amazing. The constructioneer popped that door off the hinge in, like, 3 minutes--completing a full rescue! I rushed in prepared to be horrified, but my son was still sleeping. First of all, I feel like bawling at my lack of focus and irresponsiblity. This is the second time this happened -- the first time is when we moved in and I came here early in the morning to wait for a delivery and managed to trap myself (7 months pregnant) on our 2nd floor deck/balcony wihtout a cell phone. It was a different neighbor who rescued me that time...but my husband has never stopped calling me Rapunsel...
Right now, I would like to eat a large bucket of movie popcorn and a snickers bar. I. Want. Lipids. Dammit. I can't tell my husband I did this again time and make him all worried on his trip--so I figured I'd tell my fatsecret friends and it would be our little secret. Has anyone else sucked as bad as a mother? Seriously?
