OK – so maybe it wasn’t my brightest idea yet to start him with a bedwetting alarm just a few days before we left on vacation. It seemed as good a time as any! Chalk it up to experience, and let’s move on.
Too funny – as we were packing up to leave, I made one final pass through the room to make sure we weren’t leaving anything behind. In one of those, “I thought YOU packed the stuff in the drawers” moments, I realized we’d nearly left the kids’ clothing behind. And of course, in that same drawer, our brand new bedwetting alarm!
That would be a heck of a surprise tonight when we start the system again! Wonder what housekeeping would have done with that? At least it’s better than the time we nearly left our dear deceased guinea pig behind on top of the armoire.
Long story short, the poor thing didn’t survive the heat on our drive to FL (even with A/C – and no, we didn’t leave it in the car!). Having nowhere to bury it that night (we were closing on a house the next day), and not wanting to chuck it into the dumpster, my hubby wrapped it in a shirt and put it on top of the armoire. In the confusion of leaving the next morning, it got left behind. About halfway out of the parking lot, DH remembered and made a beeline to retrieve it from the room. Now that would have been one freaked-out housekeeper!
Parenting… never dull.
