Please Don't Call Child Services on Me!

I have to admit I didn't want to share this little story but I am hoping maybe there are some moms our there who will understand and if not then hopefully I can laugh about this in the future! 

Every morning before school I let Treycen watch spongebob until its time to go, last Wednesday was no different he was watching his one hour of spongbob and it was time for school so I told him that he had 5 minutes to turn off the TV and get in the car or we would be late for school...  I put Aiden in his car seat, started the car and waited and waited?  Finally I walked back in the house and told him he now had 2 minutes to get in the car or I would leave him...  There I sat for another 5 minutes by this time we are really going to be late so I honked the horn and told him he had 5 seconds to get in the car,  still nothing so I told him I was leaving him, I decided to commit to my word and actually leave him, I pulled out of the driveway expecting him to hear the car leaving, I stopped at the stop sign at the end of my street expecting him to come running after me, but after 10 seconds it was obvious he wasn't coming so I decided I would drive around the block, it only took me about 2 minutes to drive around the block and as I pulled back into my street I see Treycen walking with some stranger lady and he is just balling hysterically...  I stop the car to retrieve my 5 year old son from this lady and try and explain to her that I was trying to teach him a lesson!  She saw him crying on the corner and decided to stop and see if he was ok and walk him back to his house...  I was so embarrassed and I just thought please don't call child services on me!  I promise I am a good mom or at least I try really hard to be...  Treycen is just so strong willed that sometimes I have to take extreme measures...  I really didn't expect him to leave the house and come looking for me, I thought he would just laugh it off and finish watching spongebob until I came back...  I think he learned his lesson and I learned that sometimes extreme measures have their consequences!  So far no one from child services has knocked on my door!  And I am so thankful that this lady was not a child abductor or some crazy syco!

Oh the JOYS of being a MOM!

On another note:  Just today I forgot Aiden in the car!  Calm down it was only for 2 minutes and my car was parked in my mother in laws driveway but still I felt really bad!  I have had Bryson and Jaxon with me for the past two days, and we were all going in to visit Barbara for a little bit before we headed to Tallens Birthday party!  So we all walk in the house and I set my purse down and start to sit down to visit and Barbara asks me "where's the baby" ?  Oh Shit, I left him in the car!  They all got a good laugh and I felt so bad, how could I forget my sweet happy Aiden Bum?  I must really be tired!  But I know my mom forgot me a couple times when I was a baby so it must run in the family!

I love being a MOM or so I keep telling myself!

Happy Friday!
