or at least give me a coronary.
We got home from MOPS today at 1-ish and he went outside in the front yard to play with the kitty. Fine and dandy that is a great idea while I wind down and chill.
I hear and see an unfamiliar Mauve SUV go down our street. No biggie, just somebody lost I"m sure. Then it hits me....where is MB? I call his name....nothing.
I call his name again, front and back door are open. He did not come in.
I call him again, this time going to the front door where I see the front GATE is open. Ok. I panic a bit. I call his name......nothing....I call louder.....LOUDER...I'M SCREAMING HIS NAME NOW. NOTHING........
I'm about to T-total panic and I run to the back door.......call his name again.....
and I see him in the van, pretending to drive (at least this time he left the door open after our lecture on why we don't play in the van alone with the door shut EVER!).
A mixture of relief and anger course through my veins. I go to the van, open the passenger door, I'm sure looking like a crazy woman. The conversation went like this....
"MB, did you hear me call your name".
"yeah" still driving but wondering how I'm gonna respond.
"Why on EARTH didn't you answer me? "
"I was driving".
"MB, you don't understand. When mommy calls your name you NEED to answer me. Mommy thought somebody took you. "
"are you mad"
"No, but I'm scared and I don't ever want to be scared like that again. First, you know you are not supposed to leave the front yard w/o asking. Secondly you are never supposed to play in the car by yourself. and finally, you ALWAYS answer when mommy calls. Now, get in the house..you are DONE playing outside."
I think I need to see a hairdresser now. He gave me 100 new gray hairs.

These little ones can really drive us crazy. MM has almost given me a coronary many times. I remember one time she was about a year old and we were bunk bed shopping for my step-sister's twins. She climbed up the ladder to the top bunk and started running back and forth on the top bed laughing her little head off. I freaked and finally got up there to catch her. I was just amazed that she could get up the ladder at such a young age.
honey, the fact the we have hair AT ALL after surviving the first 4+ years is testimony to the power of God to triumph over the many ways our children invent to get into trouble and danger.
Glad the little man is OK!
LOL - ITA with lachen. Mine falls out in clumps! Though Im pretty sure that it has a lot more factors than Tater ;)
*GASP* My heart would have stopped too! Totally normal frantic mommy moment. {{HUGS}}
