Another Reason NOT to Work Night Shift

I once had a friend who titled one of her blog posts "Bad Mommy Moment", well, this is definitely my worst. I am not sharing this because I am proud of it, I am only sharing because I have hopes that at least someone out there can relate.

Two days ago Chad and I were going to rent a movie. The movie store is just down the street so the kids usually stay at home while we run this quick errand. Well, Tuesday, Collin wanted to come with us and hopped in the back seat just as we were leaving. He didn't say a word the entire way there (a miracle for those of you who know Collin). When we got to the movie store, Chad and I returned our movies and started looking at the new releases while Collin went over to the Game Crazy side to look at and play video games. When we were done, we ran across the street to Fry's and then home to our neighbors house to visit. When we finally got home, Dylan looked at us and said "Where's Collin?". We were confused to say the least. We told him Collin was with him, what did he mean where is Collin...but then it clicked. "OMG honey! We left him at Game Crazy" I yelled. Chad honestly didn't believe that we had done that. He was sure we had left Collin at home, but sure enough when he was on his way to Game Crazy Collin called and said "Dad, where are you?" Chad is too funny and simply answered, " I am on my way to pick you up, duh."
Fortunately, Collin was NOT scared or traumatized. I gave him a big hug and we laughed about it A LOT that night even though it is not funny. My excuse is that I don't get enough sleep. Chad didn't have one except that Collin was too darn quiet so he forgot about him.
Poor Collin. Mom and Dad really love you and we are soooo sorry!
