I told you so..

I hate the phrase I told you so and I hate it even more when it comes from my husband. I seriously will put myself in misery before I will allow my husband to know he was completely right on something or more importantly that I was completely wrong. However, last night I will let it be known I was wrong. Since we moved in our new house we have fixed all of the locks and in our garage we added a lock that can lock the door, but you can still open it from the other side. Now I am a FREAK about making sure all doors are locked at all times. My husband always tells me make sure you never lock the garage because you will one day lock yourself out of the house. I remember the exact look I gave him when he told me this and it was something like what idiot would lock themselves out? Well that idiot was me. I had just put Braxton to bed and decided I need to get the trash together and put outside. I also knew I needed to get Maize out for a little bit because the rain had made him crazy and he just needed to be outside for a bit. Anyways I get out my garage and take out the trash. I walk Maize around the yard and decide to head in. As I go to open the door the worst feeling happened in my stomach. I was locked out of the house. I ran to every door in the pouring rain and every door is locked. All I could think of is my baby is inside, I have no cell phone, and I am going to break one of my windows (yes I am that dramatic). After freaking out for a minute I finally got myself together and I realized my child is 4 years old and is probably still awake in his room. I run to the window and yell to Braxton who gets up and says Mom where are you? After explaining everything to him he came to my rescue and opened the front door. I immediatley grabbed him and thanked him. He had the biggest smile on his face because he knew he saved his Mommy. After I put him back in bed I also got the biggest lecture from my 4 year old. It went something like no more taking the trash out at night because you can't see and never lock yourself out of the house again. However, if you do lock yourself out next time you need to make sure you yell louder from outside the window because apparently Braxton couldn't hear me all that well. Seriously being locked out of your house when your child is inside is such a horrible feeling. I am just grateful Braxton was awake and I didn't pull a stupid move like trying to break down the door.

Now I should have just kept this all to myself, but I knew Braxton was going to tell his Daddy the news because he was just so proud of himself and that is exactly what happened when Conrad talked to him. And you all know my husband wanted to say I told you so..so here it is Conrad you were right...but just this time:)
