I don't judge myself (too harshly) when I do these, because everyone makes those types of mistakes. It doesn't mean you're failing as an adult.

Thanks, that helps to hear! I locked myself out of my house/car (grabbed a spare key to H's car instead of my set of keys) earlier this year right before session and had to take a cab and get there 25 minutes late. Now I look at my keys carefully to make sure I have right ones before closing the door to the house.
And then a couple years ago, I managed to lock my keys (and purse/phone) in the car with my daughter in it! Thankfully, it was in front of my house, my next-door neighbor was home and let me use their phone to call 911. Nothing makes your mistake more glaring than a fire truck on the street! I was so worried about CPS because, I mean, I left my kid in the car, but it wasn't a hot day (at all), it was an accident, and she didn't seem at all bothered. I have now developed a system to prevent that from happening again--well at least in that exact way, I'm sure I could figure out some other way to do it!
The first week I got my driver's license (as a teen), I locked my keys in the car WITH THE CAR RUNNING. That was good times...
