Blonde moment..

For those of you that know me, you will know that I can be just a little absent minded at times. I'm not sure what it is, whether I'm just so tired I can no longer focus on anything other than the things my brain now does on auto pilot like running a household, cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping and constantly keeping a small child happy, clean, warm, fed and YES most importantly entertained!  If its not under than banner ... Then its too bad...!

I know I used to blame being pregnant for this lack of brain power or concentration, but as I am not pregnant - What do I blame?  Have I become so lazy of mind since becoming a mum that I just switch off?

I'm not a physically lazy person at all, I'm always on the go, I rarely sit still.....

(writer pauses for a moment to think.....)

HA HA.. I just had the biggest belly laugh at myself. I had forgotten the point of this story, which just proves my absentmindedness... Thankfully I remembered ....

The point:  

I walked out of the house the other morning with my handbag and Sara both packed for a shopping trip to our local Westfield Shopping Town, I had a list a mile long of a million things I needed to do before lunch. 

We got to the garage and I opened the door with the buzzer, (that was in my handbag since yesterday as the garage had flooded and I'd taken it inside the house with me), I went to open Sara's door to lock her into the car seat, but the door is locked.. BUGGER...I start searching though my handbag for my car keys.... Uhmm ... NO KEYS!!!! Crap!

THINK.... What do I do?? 

Do I call a locksmith to come out, and at what cost? 

Is there a window open, can I break into my own home?? 

All the while I have an impatient child at my heels saying... "Mummy" .. "Mummy" .. "Mummy"

Discover the tiny Laundry window is open a fraction enough for me to get to the fly wire and knock it inside onto the floor... I wind the window out, unscrew window, (with a screwdriver from the garage that I was able to open), place baby safely inside, now its my turn. Not so easy when you have to squeeze in between the laundry trough and the dryer that's mounted on the wall above it! 

BUT.. SUCCESS!!! We're IN!!! 

Keys collected.... Doors and windows all shut so no one else can do what I did!!!! 

Alarm system NOW ACTIVATED ... SAFE AS HOUSES!!
