I went to the grocery store with my dad yesterday.
As usual, he was pushing Gemma in her stroller while I pushed the cart full of groceries (proud Granddaddy.)
While we were waiting in line, he decided that he would take Gemma and walk to the butcher, which is about a block away. I said "really?", he said "really." I said "okay, I guess." and off they went.
About a million years later (25 minutes), I finally made it through the line and got my groceries packed into my car and off to the butcher I went.
They weren't there. She wasn't there. MY BABY WAS NOT THERE.
I asked, "Have you seen (insert my dad's name)?".
She said, "They just left."
My heart jumped out of my chest. My eyes welled with tears. I got back in my car.
How dare he.
I assumed he had just walked the extra 3 blocks from the butcher to my house, but still.
I was so mad. I had never not known exactly where my baby was and I hated it...

ReplyDeleteAnyway, I just said Congrats on the new job and that if you wanted to talk ever about being a working mommy, my ears (and blog!) is open!
Hope you told your dad what he put you through! I bet he won't be doing that again any time soon! Don't mess with mama bear! lol

ReplyDeleteI did find her at the house. I was so mad!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the congratulations, I am sure it is going to be a huge adjustment as a working mama. One day at a time I suppose. I am excited though.
And my dad just can't seem to get in the habit of carrying a cell phone. So annoying!
