dustbunny's MAJOR mom screw up! today was a mess..

dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos

 

oops!

I royally f-ed up his classroom end-of-year ceremony.

Well, let me start by saying my 4 yo has been talking about singing in his ceremony for about 2 months. I just bombed the event by showing up at the wrong location...imagine where: his school! (who realized the notice said it was at the congregational church downtown? oh, right every other parent...duh).

I only pick up or drop off about 1/3 of the time -- so I don't know where the flier was...TO make it worse, I was so nervous about screwing it up that I even went to chat about today's schedule (last friday w/his teacher) but she was out so I must have glazed right over the information...I had the right time but man, not cool.

So we get there in a mad dash and we're late and under-dressed and he missed 50% of the stage show...and wouldn't go up for the second half...I felt bad because I was cursing the whole way up the stairwell- I was in a church--- it wasn't pretty!


This day was a whirlwind, literally....I went to a morning meeting and then my other son's luncheon...then, my 8 year old'school was delayed coming home b/c of a tornado/storm warning (In vt???what??). Then, I had to pay the piano teacher, get groceries for the 22 kds coming to my house tomorrow, fill a prescription, deal with a re-write of an important project and a crapload of other details...like go to the bank...organize and coordinate cars with visiting guests...food and the dog...it's like I feel I screwed up but why is it my fault? because I'm the mom--- working 4 part time thankless jobs (meaning nobody cares if I do a good job...but man, I do one bad job and I'll never live it down...).

VENT SESSION OVER...I still feel like a sh!pwreck...


PLEASE tell me you've screwed something up!!!!!

  Everyday I realize that I get better looking

i've screwed up by not giving my wife more credit for all the stuff she actually does. You are the default person to make sure all schedules are made and you still have to balance all your other work! I could never do all the things you actually do.(Even thought it may seem that I think I can) Thank you for all that you do. You Rock! Sure, it would have been great to have this detail dialed, but its really only for the photo anyways right??? Oh well, it happens. As long as our kids are happy and learning thats all that really counts. He did great all year and really didn't seem to mind or realize that he missed it.. Lets just make sure he gets a good graduation present! Heck, I'll go get it right now!

Ok, here's one screw up I remember. My DD goes to camp for the first (and only time) and I forget to pick her up - I had the day wrong!!! finally she calls me and asks if I don't want her to come home? A heart breaker - even after all this time. At least u didn't forget your kid at camp!!
