Oops! She did it again!!

Last night Olivia locked me out of the house... again! The first time was some time last year and I wrote about it on our website. This time was much worse. I walked out to the garage to put another trash bag in Olivia's diaper pail. I was going to take Olivia with me but the pail is right outside the door so I didn't. Once I finished putting the trash bag in I turned to open the door and it was locked. The minute I said Olivia she started crying. She knew what she did. The more I tried to get her to open the door the more she cried and screamed. My imagination ran a little wild because for a minute I thought someone was in the house doing something to her which was not the case. Peter was not at home and I don't know his cell phone or work phone by memory because the numbers are in my cell phone . I actually thought about running to the church but I didn't want to leave Olivia alone that long and it would be futile to go to one of the neighbors house since I didn't know Peter's phone numbers and the church office was closed. I tried to get into the backyard because there are windows in the back and she would be able to see me and open the door to the patio but the padlocks on the gates were locked. Go figure. I get back to the back door and Olivia is screaming at the top of her lungs. I am so upset by this point I am about to cry. I try to get her to open the door again and she finally succeeded. Thank God!!! After I got in I picked her up and she cried on my shoulder for a minute and then she got down and started playing. I'm glad she could forget about it that easy because Mommy's heart was still racing.

This morning I asked her if she locked Mommy out of the house last night and she said, "Yes." and then I asked her if she was going to go that again and she said, "No." Good answer!!
