Twenty-Four
Hours in a Day
Title of one of my favorite shows to watch on DVD
Cupcakes sitting on my counter that we’ll have to “get rid of” because we missed the music program we were supposed to take them to.
Yup - I’m a big fat loser - the music program was the 28th. I’m SOOOO disappointed! Disappointed that Jason didn’t get to be in the program. Disappointed that the music teacher didn’t send home a reminder with the kids sometime in the past 2 weeks. Disappointed that Jason didn’t write down what she told him yesterday so we were sure we got it right. Disappointed that I got it wrong on the calendar and missed it.
I’m a FREAK about the calendar. I can’t remember the last time we missed something. I have everything written down. I hate being late. We never miss anything. So this is REALLY really REALLY bothering me that we missed this. I think I’ll go cry in the corner 
Jason, he really seems like he could care less . . . he just said “It’s a bummer. I’m a little disappointed because Henry said they got treats after the show!”
Well dude - we’ve got 24 treats up on our counter just waiting to be eaten!
I guess the bright side is the kids both had a blast at the birthday party and we learned a ton at Puppy Kindergarten with Duma . . . we would have missed both of those things for a 10 minute program (I called Josh’s mom and asked her about it) if we hadn’t messed up. Yes, I’m rationalizing me being stupid and irresponsible . . . bad mommy!

You are not a bad mommy! they sent the letter in January! I can’t believe there was a reminder- especially since he had a part. We send a million and ten reminders to our 2nd graders because, well, after all, they are only 2nd graders. I am so sorry though! I know I would be disappointed too!
by the way- I heart 24 too! So sad that it isn’t on this year.
Oh, I would feel so bad, too! Why is that Mommies only focus on the few things we screw up, instead of the million things we do right?
Don’t be so hard on yourself! Especially since he doesn’t seem too bothered by it (other than the treats
). You are NOT a bad mommy!
At least Duma didn’t eat the cupcakes and hide the pan. That was so funny! As I remember, we had to lift a chair to find it after looking everywhere possible. Sweet Maggie!
You are one of the greatest mothers I have ever known. When you are responsible for everyting, you can’t be so hard on yourself that you forgot one thing.
Copy this list and put it on your refrigerator!
