My mom was super nice and took half the day off work to come over and watch him for me until noon, so I could take a good long nap instead of just a 1 or 2 hour one. She just told me to leave the front door unlocked so she could get in while we were sleeping (I'm not too worried about this because I have two big dogs - I don't think anyone they didn't know would want to come in)
So I carefully told myself over and and over... "don't lock the door... don't lock the door" so I wouldn't forget.
Well, at about 11:00 am I heard a car honk outside in the driveway and I was thinking "what are they doing?... is she letting him play in the car?" and promptly went back to sleep.
Then I heard the car honk again - twice! and decided I should get up and see what was going on. It was my mom - apparently locked out of the house!
I let her in and said, "I'm sure I left the door unlocked!" but it was locked, so I assumed that although I had been repeating my mantra to myself, I apparently still locked the door on autopilot.
My husband is gone for the weekend hunting and usually checks in with me a couple times a day while he's gone. He called this morning and said something about how he'd come home yesterday morning while I was asleep from work because he'd forgotten a tool he needed.
Here was the conversation:
Me: "What!? Did you lock the door when you left?"
Him: "Yes, why'd you leave the door unlocked?
Me: "You locked my mom out! I thought I'd left it unlocked!"
Him: "Oh, well, I wondered if maybe you mom was coming over, but I decided to lock it anyway."
Me: "Well, she sat out in the driveway for 2 hours waiting for Little Guy to wake me up and finally gave up and had to honk the horn to wake me up."
Him: "Oh, well sorry."
Guys are so clueless sometimes.

Oh, well. I got a lot of my knitting done, listened to old radio shows on my car radio, and didn't have to be at work. :)
