Yesterday was NOT a good day… We got up and headed to the church for morning prayers, and as we are all pouring out of the car, Sunshine says “I have to put my book back in the car.” So I turn around and looked, and said, “Where’s Cricket? Let her out of the car too!” thinking that the girls had shut the door on her. So Sunshine goes to look and informs me that Cricket is NOT in the car! *Insert horrified screech* We load up and start back for the house, only to have Sunshine say, “Aren’t we going kinda fast?” OF COURSE WE ARE GOING KINDA FAST! I LEFT A CHILD AT HOME!!!!! We ended up meeting my husband on his way to work with her in the car… HE opens his window, grins, and says “Did you forget something?” Ha. Ha. Ha. 

Cricket didn’t seem upset… and she did say at some point in my effusive apologies “Mom, I forgave you four times already!” She only said once that she felt a ‘little left out’ because we had left her behind. Joe had tried to tell her we left her but she wouldn’t believe him until she went and saw the empty garage herself. *sob* I’m such a terrible mother! Joe told her, “Mommy won’t do like most mom’s, she won’t assume I’ll bring you to her, or that I’ll take you to work with me… she’ll come tearing back over here to get you…” and he was RIGHT! She got a lot of snuggles and hugs yesterday… and this morning when we went to prayers, I stood at the door and did a headcount BEFORE I walked out to the car… and made sure Cricket was the FIRST child to get in the car!!!
