The day started so well. Tidied DD's bedroom, did most of the laundry. Tidied the kitchen etc etc. Did all my paperwork, sorted banking stuff (havent done that for WEEKS).

Got everything together to go to the doctors. Loaded the car up, got the double pram shut the door behind me, put it in the car and realised id left my bag indoors. With my house keys, mobile phone, all the paperwork and banking, nappies wipes etc for DS EVERYTHING.

Went to the GP anyway, who decided that it might be an idea to up my AD's for a month to see...Sad GP let me use the phone to ring and arrange collecting spare keys.

Then spent the rest of the afternoon chasing around for spare keys, dashing back to get my prescription, and dashing to the bank to find i had missed bank closing by 7 minutes.

Ive had a sh*te afternoon after starting SO well. Angry

So please, come and tell me what an idiot i am for leaving my bag in the house and not putting the latch on the door like i ALWAYS do.

Idiot Grin .

fastasleep · 24/04/2006 19:29

VVV no you can't be an idiot , because that means I'm an idiot and that's just not possible

oh hun, get a large glass of something nice or a big mug of hot chocolate, a decent dvd on and buy some popcorn/cake....

starlover · 24/04/2006 19:29

you're an idiot

CHICagoMUM · 24/04/2006 19:30

No seriously we have all done it. I spent 3 hours on afternoon dragging the kids around ,borrowing money of my MIL's neighbour Blush to go to Boots and buy a bottle and formula for ds, when I did exactly the same thing. Alternatively you could do what I have also done - go out for several hours and return to find you haven't even closed the door never mind locked it [shick] .

hunkermunkfish · 24/04/2006 19:31

Aw, VVV Sad

hunkermunkfish · 24/04/2006 19:32

And, yes, I'd think "shicks" too, CM Grin

CHICagoMUM · 24/04/2006 19:34

Oi Hunker are you chasing me around here these days looking for my mistakes? Grin I wouldn't bother if I were you it will tire you out.

If it makes you feel any better my DH manged to let our 2 yr old DS lock him out today and phoned me to tell me when I was 2 hours away!

He managed to break in again in 5 mins, should be a burglar as when I locked myself out a few months ago it took a locksmith 1 hour!!

starlover · 24/04/2006 19:39

last time I did it my mum had to get a taxi over here with my spare keys!

alittlebitshy · 24/04/2006 19:41

you;re not an idiot but my daft dh is. he lost his keys last night. not sure if they're ion the house or OUT SOMEWHERE. grrr. looked as much as could, now he has gone aweay on a conference leaving me shit scared he left them in the door and someone is going to come in and murder dd and me (is it me or i in this case... argh) (and the lodgers but frankly i don't care as long as they have paid their rent Grin) in our beds.

THAT is an idiot. he isn;t too keen on me muttering about locks being changed. he is sure they;ll turn up. i however am not so sure. and he's miles away. mutter mutter mutter.

Flossam · 24/04/2006 19:42

Ohh, VVV. Sorry I have not been around much of late. DP has taken a week off, so when I've not been at work he has been here - have been thinking of you lots and so sorry to see your not so great.

Can you try and think of it as a positive - if you still decide to start work you will be (hopefully) better able to manage and in a better frame of mind?

So Sad to hear this though - do you think you need to up dose or do you just think the Dr mistook you being a bit blonde for not coping???

alittlebitshy · 24/04/2006 19:44

sorry i wasn't ignoring the rest of your post!!!!

(((vvv)))

do you think you need to up dose?

Flossam · 24/04/2006 19:44

Oh, this might make you giggle - leaving for work, could not find keys anywhere. DP was going to be in anyway when I got home so we decided to leave without them - open the front door out on to street to find DS has posted them out of the letter box....Grin

Mytwopenceworth · 24/04/2006 19:47

we all have days like this m'dear. its shite isnt it? i offer you a hearty pat on the shoulder in place of the mn dreaded hugs! Grin .

when it all gets a bit much, take a deep breath in, hold for a sec and say to yourself while exhaling, "this too will pass". a few of those usually clears me and calms me down a tad.

tangerinecath · 24/04/2006 20:15

I had borrowed a company pool car one afternoon to run a work errand and drove straight home in it afterwards. I then left for work the next morning leaving my house and car keys at home... dh leaves after me so at least the house was locked up. I didn't realise until it came to going home, and remembered that I'd left my keys on the dining table Blush. Dh was on a late away day with work and not due home till 8 o'clock, so I had to borrow the pool car again and camp out at a mates house until he got home. So everyone knew what I'd done.

These thinks always seem worse when you are down anyway. Everyone's probably got a similar story, so we're ALL idiots together Grin. I blame it on Mummy hormones.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow (((Hugs))).

Cadbury · 24/04/2006 20:27

You aren't an idiot. You are lovely. Shit days happen and because you had one today, you can have a good one tomorrow. Find something chocolate (my advice for every eventuality!) and eat it really slowly and feel the endorphines kicking in. Smile

carol3 · 24/04/2006 20:44

did the same on sat, made packed lunch packed the car with buggies raincoats, spare clothes, drinks ect, drove an hour and a half to visit a castle with the kids and realised i'd left my bag at home Sad didn't even have any money to park the car so ended up with kids looking longingly at the castle while we had lunch in the car not much fun Blush

LOL!

Dr upped AD's on account of my not being able to sleep at night still.

SHE was very nice, and sympathetic and i had an inkling that she had an understanding of what i was going through. She also said i seemed to be doing really well considering what i had done lol!

Im not soooo terrible. I had my wits about me enough to NOT run over the 3 year old boy who ran out into the road in front of me as i left the GP's. The couple who the boy belonged to though had a row about it on my account though Grin

However, that is cancelled out by the fact that i smashed my wing mirror in my mad dashing about.

My mum was great - she got a cab from work to home then back again to collect the keys for me so i only had to go as far as her work (bless she only lives 2 mins drive from work but it was the thought Smile)

Am loving [shicks] its almost as good as [groin] pmsl

Just discovered that the chemist had cocked up my prescription yesterday day too and not upped my dose after all. Oh the joys.

Today is a much better day though, thankfully.
