Mistake #1 : Taking a Shower
The real problem is that I took a shower on the morning that a brand new box of cocoa pebbles was opened. Before heading upstairs I made sure that the cereal was put away however when I came downstairs my family room floor and couch were covered in cocoa pebbles. Argh....
Mistake #2 : Letting Youngest in the House First
We went to Wal-Mart this morning to get some diapers (I've given up on potty training) and a few groceries. When we got home, I let Youngest out of his car seat and started unloading the groceries out of the back of the car. Youngest went in the house, closed the door and locked it. Yes, he locked it. I did not have a key. I yelled, screamed, banged, shouted, knocked, begged, bribed, threatened for a good 10 minutes before I told him that Daughter and I were going to eat all the Hostess Cupcakes and since he locked the door he couldn't have any. I wont be going outside today as I am sure that my neighbors heard me throw my fit, and I am now embarrassed beyond belief. He opened the door, hoping for a cupcake, and I put him in bed with out lunch. He can have a sandwich when he wakes up.
Mistake #3 : Carrying a Watermelon
You know, I am almost 29 years old. I should be able to carry a watermelon. I guess not. I dropped it. On the garage floor. I then cursed, picked it up and ran to the kitchen. Now I have a sticky line from the door to the counter. Oh, well. Now there is a whole watermelon sliced and diced in the fridge waiting to be eaten. No excuses when I want a snack now.
Mistake #4 : Giving in to Emotional Eating
So, I tend to be an emotional eater, but I have really been trying to do better. I gave in and at lunch at nachos. With lots of cheese. And, the best part? Tonight is pizza night. Talk about cheese overload. Tomorrow is a new day, right?
And a couple mistakes from last week:
Did you know putting an oven mitt on a hot burner makes smoke and burns?
Did you know that when you are tired and making enchiladas paprika and chili powder look a lot alike?
Stay tuned....I'm bound to do something else that is stupid...

Oh, honey! I'm so sorry. I wish I could help you clean up the Pebbles cereal, eat your watermelon, help you laugh about being locked outside, and buy you a new oven mitt. Well, actually, I could buy you a new oven mitt and send it...hmmm...
Here's a HUG and I hope you feel better soon.
P.S. You don't do stupid things. You do mommy-brain things. There is a HUGE difference. :)
You poor thing, have we not all been there! There were corn pops all over my kitchen floor today, and it wasn't the 4 year old! Mmm, cocoa pebbles would be my emotional eating.
I love the fact that you used the Hostess cupcakes as bribery to get him to open the door. That is hilarious. I wouldn't worry about the neighbors. It's probably nothing they haven't done themselves before.
Hang in there. watermelon for snacking on is great.
I can relate. Might I suggest a nice relaxing shower or bath and chocolate to end your day?
So while things things were happening did you think to yourself... "I am so going to blog about this!" That gets me through a lot of frustrating situations.
The headline: Locked out with Hostess Cupcakes - Mother had to choose between her son and a ho-ho.
The watermelon on the floor would have been the icing on the cake for me. I'd have been done. Hang in there!
What a day! The cereal and the shower. Totally been there! :-)
I think every mother ends up with an embarrassing, locked out of the house by her kids story.
oh NO! What a day!
I've never had Max lock us out of the house, but he did lock himself in the bathroom a year ago and it took some serious emotional manipulation to get him out before he drowned in the toilet or sliced himself up with somebody's razor. My husband still feels bad about it.
