Breaking Down the Door

2005-09-16T13:09:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I broke down her door. She had locked herslef in and since it's an antique lock, there was no way to pick it. I was downstairs; she was in her room playing when I hear, "Mommy, help! I'm stuck!" Her cries quickly went from sad, to hurt, to panicked. Of course, I'm panicking too! I'm envisioning her falling our her window, barely hanging on, or maybe hanging from a window blind cord.

Then she stops yelling and I really freak out.

I broke in--the door shattered, the lock flew in small pieces across the room. She was on top of her bunk bed with her little foot was stuck in the slats of her bed.

I have never been more relieved to be a stay-at-home mom. Stuff happens and when it happens I want to be the one snuggling, rocking, and comforting her.

"Mommy, you saved me!"

I've never felt more like a warrior princess.

We wanted so desparately to move overseas, Dublin, Ireland was the most enticing. Looks like the closest we could get is Dublin, CA. LOL!

My entry into the blogsphere

2005-05-14T08:46:00.000-07:00

My beloved's Mobile blog finally enticed me enough to enter the blogsphere. As life gets crazier around here in meatspace, it'll be a great way to keep each other updated long-distance. Case in point: Syke posted photos of the Father-Son campout while on the campout, not when he got home, but from his phone while goofing off on the campgrounds. How speedy is that?
