A Jen Moment

For those of you who know my sister Jen you'll understand the title of this blog. She has so many interesting adventures that I swear she needs her own reality show! Well, today, I had a Jen moment. I left the house to pick up Sophie from the groomer's. Peanut was sleeping peacefully and went right into the car seat without waking up, even though it was just past the time she would need to eat. I was going a half mile up the road to pick up Sophie and the trip would take a total of 10-15 minutes. Well, when I returned to the house with a beautifully groomed dog and a still sleeping baby I came to find out that I was locked out of the house. The key that I had on my key ring that I thought was a house key was not. Being locked out wasn't the best part, the fact that I had no bottle, no diaper bag and no binky were the angels on my christmas tree of terror. I had a dog that probably had to go the bathroom after being at the groomer's all morning (and of course, she's paper trained and hates grass) and a baby that could wake up at any moment with a wet diaper and HUNGRY! Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who doesn't work too far away and immediately left work to meet me with a key.

Now that I'm home and the dog has peed and the baby has been fed I can laugh about it, but it made for a very scary 45 minutes.

Yikes! Glad Tom was able to rescue you! My dog once locked me out of my car. I stopped to get gas on the way home from the vet, and he stepped on the lock button - and sure enough - my purse, keys, and cell phone were all locked inside with him! I didn't even have a quarter to use the payphone! Thankfully the gas station attendant let me use their phone and Paul rescued me.

I've said many a time, children suck your brains out...This was not a "Jen" moment in the classic sense - it is the repurcussion of child bearing. Just keep in mind, it is also what allows you to do things like have children again...
