Thank goodness what I forgot only caused my embarrassment--which, thanks to my kids excellent memory continues to be a source of amusement. Anyway I found something that could help. I was looking for a gps tracking device for my kids and found one that has a temperature alert. If it gets too hot or cold it will send a text message to the mom's cellphone. I found the information on a great <a href="http://amberalertgpsinfo.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/using-mutiple-child-locator-devices/" rel="nofollow"> safety blog</a>. Of course it is always better to remember you kids--I pray that I only forget something unimportant like a birthday...which I have done...

I have been the exhausted mom, breastfeeding on the hour, completely drained from kids and lack of sleep. I've been stretched beyond the limits of stress. I've been that overworked parent. Maybe it's the paranoid person that I am (I tend to overthink and worry a lot and am obsessive about where my children are at all times - even in the grocery store, I need them right with me the whole time or I get worried even if they are 3 feet away) but I absolutely cannot fathom how this happens. It's not judgment, it's the fact that I just can't wrap my head around someone forgetting their child anywhere. Ever. That's just my 2 cents tho. And I AM a paranoid freak, I know.

I can't imagine how in the world somebody could every leave their kid in a car though. I think we all have made a few slip-ups here and there.

He was about two. We got in the car and did all the things we do when get there, buckle, turn on the radio, get settled. Well, he was really quiet back there. Usually he sang to the radio or made some noise, but not this time. For some reason I passed up daycare. I pulled into the parking lot at work and went to retrieve my bag from the back seat and found a surprise. I was very surprised. He started giggling.
