I'm not completely convinced that membership has its privileges
I've joined an elite group of special friends in a new club where dues are paid with Mommy guilt. You can read their stories here or here (see point #2).
At least I'm in great company!!!
Friday was one of those days where I was busy back to back with people to meet or errands to run. After a long tiring day, I managed to finish my grocery shopping and hop in the car to drive to school to pick up my oldest. WOW! As I drive towards the loop I realize the cars aren't lined up halfway to the stoplight. I'm thinking I'm going to get a great parking spot. Two seconds later it dawns on me....school pick up was an hour early today and I'm not 30 minutes early...I'm actually 30 minutes late!!! At least, I still got a great parking spot. Olivia was pretty good about it and let me off the hook after I promised to not let it happen again.

It is bound to happen to even the best of us! At least I am not alone either.
Good thing she was so cheerful about it. That would have broken your heart otherwise.
does the school really not call?
Glad she was cheerful about it.
Welcome Michelle! Our next support meeting is Friday at 9:00.
The kids don't usually come inside till 1:45 or so. They do call, but they usually wait a bit depending on how busy they are or how late it is.
I wonder how many kids that happens to every Friday? It can't be uncommon. Glad she took it well!
bless your heart! i think that friday thing is confusing. if i had kids i'd probably forget them every week!
You know it's just a matter of time before that happens to me! I told Ellie about it, so that when it does happen, she won't be so upset!
I could just feel your stomach sinking...glad she forgave ya! Just when you think you've got the "Mother of the Year" in the bag...
Love ya!
