I FEEL LIKE SUCH A HORRIBLE MOMMY!

[JrsMommy07]

So we were at a bday party for my friends 2 yr old.. She lives in town homes... Well the kids were out side playing and there were about 5 adults out there  including my sons father.. I was outside and then i went in to use the bathroom and I checked on my  2 yr old son before i went in.. he was right on her patio playing with his best buddy about 3 feet from his dad... Well After i got done peeing I was going to go back outside, but my friend asked me to help with some of the food.. I figured whats the harm? there are 5 adults out there including his father and all the other kids who can walk are out there... So about 10 minutes later i just got this weird feeling... I tired to ignore it but couldn't, so i went out to check on my son.. HE WAS NOT ON THE PATIO! I asked his dad where he was and he said "i thought he went inside" ( he had turned his back for 2 minutes to check on the burgers on the grill that he was helping with) NO I SCREAMED! HES NOT INSIDE! So on first instincnt I ran to the toddler  playground right behind the town homes (like 10 feet from her door) where the kdis were playing supervised earlier.. NO JUNIOR! So i ran to the next plyground the bigger playground whihc awas not far from the other one (about 20 feet) NO JUNIOR! Well then i started SCREAMING! I ran back inside just to be sure he wasnt in there! I checked all the room and the closests! BY then i was frantic! I TOLD HIS DAD HELP ME LOOK! So he was running around calling his name NO ANWSER! BY then i thought the worst and ran to the parking lot and then the street (he had only been missing about 5 minutes but in mommy time this is about an hour!) by this timem some of  my friends had started looking for him too.. BY the time I come back to her house I am about bawling and i hear this voice.. Hi mommy.. OMG I just about started bawling! there was JR holding my friend Nicoles hand.. She had found him at the Russians house.. about  5 houses down (keep in mind these are TOWN HOMES .. so they are connected.. he was not taht far) He had been playing with the  toy stove set on their patio...

well First I just hugged him tight and cried.. then i said " DONT EVER DO THAT TO MOMMY AGAIN! YOU SCARED ME!" Then his little Lip started shaking and he grabbed my face my face in his hands.. "But mommy I was making you a cheeseburger" I just hugged him.. I didn't know whether to mad, laugh or be happy he was safe.. I felt all at the same time.. I told him Thank you buddy but next time you make it HERE! "OK mommy I love you"

 I WAS SO SCARED! I FELT LIKE A BAD MOM! IM SOOO GLAD MY LIL MAN IS OK! And Im glad i didnt have  heart attack (i was pretty danm close!)
