i am a bad mommy

As I was leaving for work this morning I stopped my car at the top of the driveway (I have to angle it just right so it doesn't bottom out) and noticed Max was still "tied up" in the yard. Each morning I put him out there right before I leave so I can finish getting dressed and today I forgot to bring him back in. I cried as I unhooked him and brought him in. Can you imagine what would've happened to my little blind baby if he'd been out there all day? If I hadn't stopped the car and seen him I never would've remembered he was still outside. I'm tearing up again just thinking about it.

I always bitch about those people who leave their kids places but I almost forgot my special needs dog outside all day.

Oh dear, it's incidents like this one that make us all humble and much less judgemental. I once went in to see my priest to discuss a horrible "sin" in my life. When I finished my story, teary-eyed and repentent. He smiled, took my hand and said, "T, welcome to the human race."

oh dear, dear Virge, I was NOT calling you judgmental. I'm sorry it came across that way. I was thinking totally of my own judgmental nature!

Oh, I make no bones about it. I am very judgmental.
