Am I On Candid Camera?

I admit I usually bring my A game, but there are days that sometimes I feel like my head was left behind and my body is just wandering, take the following incident as proof:

Drop Claire off at preschool decide it would be fun to go for a morning run with baby.

Load baby up push her into the grass, push the garage door button, jump over sensor and we are on our way.

30 minutes later I come back to stand at the garage door thinking "rats, what am I going to do?" Yep that's right people I locked myself out of my house!!

Went down the road to the neighbors house, who luckily just quit her job, used her phone to call hubby who relays to me that he doesn't have his house keys either because he reminds me that last night we swapped keys because I used his truck to drive home and he took the van to bring the girls home, and that this morning he couldn't find where I put the truck keys......rats again.

Oh well he can just drive the 45 miles to our house and use the garage door opener, right?

Wrong again. His garage door opener was at another neighbors house who watched the critters while we were gone, and we hadn't gotten the opener back from them yet (as we took the van).

TRIPLE RATS!!!

$168.00 later, baby and I went back into the house, I was waiting for someone to jump out of the bushes and yell "Smile, your on candid camera."

My neighbors will now all be getting a copy of our housekey!!

Hubby and I both could have had horrible attitudes over this but we found the blessings!

1) My neighbor was home so I could use her phone
2) While we waited for our expensive hero to come it was a mere 93 degrees rather than 103
3) Hubby and I got to have lunch together (something we NEVER get to do)
4) While we waited for our expensive hero to come baby pooped some more so I decided to make an improve diaper from the blanket I thankfully brought along
5) Baby didn't pee or poop in the improve diaper!

I am trying to learn how to put a positive spin on everything so I can remember the blessings!!
