What a Friday....

I just wanted to post this just so I have it in writing.
My day today.......

It's Friday, and Fridays are my days off. So I get to spend my day with Carson, and I get to sleep in a little... Well not so much. I got up at 6 in the morning and I couldn't go back asleep, so I got ready and cleaned the house. Carson and I got dressed and ate, then we went to run some errands. Running errands with one child isn't really that hard. It's the whole getting in and out of the car seat that is the hardest.
Off we go,
Bank (Check)
Dry Cleaners (Check)
WHILE we were at the dry cleaners, my dearest child decided to go into the teenie... tiny... dressing room. As soon as I noticed he went in there, I heard a "click"..... YEP Carson LOCKED HIMSELF IN THE DRESSING ROOM.......
Meanwhile I'm not panicking because, in reality what good does that do, right? But the poor women that couldn't speak a lick of English Was!!!! She was probably thinking "this stupid woman let her son run around my store..... she deserves this..."
so needless to say, 15 minutes roll by and i jumped on top of this home-made dressing room (ply wood pieces attached together by small screws!) and unlocked the door with my toes (yes i have monkey toes!)... Carson just looked at me like "Thanks mom I was getting kind of worried"
SO Dry Cleaners (double check)
Meanwhile, two Realtors called me this morning wanting to show the house today. (yes we are selling our home) Sure, fine, whatever... I just have to clean a little bit before I go to a birthday party at 11... (its 10:30)
Get home and realized I hadn't cleaned that much and I needed to do a WHOLE LOT MORE, so I put Carson in his chair and he played with play dough...
I'm running around my house going crazy cleaning and HIDING all the clothes and random things in my house. I decided to look at Carson so see if he was doing OK, and I looked over and there is Play dough in his mouth!!!! SERIOUSLY????
My days are NEVER like this......
I ended up getting a nap in while Carson was napping, and going for an hour walk with him, so it ended up being a VERY entertaining day off!!
Happy Weekend!!

that scares me a little. i'm pretty obessesive when i go out and i hold on to ammon pretty much every second. but in a month im pretty sure thats not going to happen and i'll be having days like yours.
i'm impressed you were able to get carson out without panicking. i would have been freaking out, especially with someone who doesn't know english. although i would have probably been more bugged she didn't speak english than having to climb up and unlock the door.:)

I would have done the same thing in the dressing room. Only... you have longer legs than I do. So... that would be interesting....

anyway, glad your day ended good Ha ha awesome blog posting :)
