Joey is a mystery more often than not. Okay, not really. He is actually very predictable. For instance, in the mornings he thinks he needs to be on the computer. And usually it involves games of some sort, lately watching a youTube video of one or another. The rule is he needs to wait until Mackenzie is off to school and his teeth are brushed (his teeth have never been cleaner!) And he has swallowed his pill as opposed to hiding it somewhere he thinks mom will not find!!!
Thursday morning my parents and I planned a visit to the temple and we left a little before he had to leave for the bus stop. I came back from my parents just to tell him to make sure he locked the door. It does not include gaming at all so you can see how that would go unnoticed, right?
Well, after the session my mom wanted to go get lunch but I had this feeling I needed to check at the house, only because one time Joey was so distracted that he missed the bus and ended up walking to school and missed two periods (and never told me!) and I needed to make sure he was gone. Well, I got to the house and the door was locked! I was pretty impressed that my little man remembered but then as I unlocked the screen door I realized the front door was wide open! And it was hot!
Yep, my little man had left the door open when he left for school! FOR THREE HOURS!!!
I was spending good money cooling off the front porch!!! I was going to ring his little neck!!! All I can say is it is a good thing school had a few more hours to go because I was going to throttle the kid. (I didn't, by the way! I had calmed down and it has become a good story. I am sure when I get the electric bill, it will be a whole different story!)
