SuperMOM???

So this happened last week and I can't believe I forgot to post about it. On Thursday the day before Halloween I was going a mile a minute trying to get things done. I had to cut up strawberries for Ryan's class party on Friday and make sugar cookies for Cameron's class. I did this all during the day because that night I was going to a stamping party with my friend Trish. So as I am making the food I call the boys school and talk to the director about the parties.I ask her if the boys still needed to bring a lunch since they were having a party, she informed me they did not. So I finish everything I needed to get done and the babysitter comes over and I head to my party. That night I got home about midnight I open the fridge to get a drink and there in front of my eyes is a half eaten bowl of strawberries that I needed to feed 18 kids in the morning! AHHH!!!! I totally forgot to tell the babysitter to eat anything EXCEPT the Strawberries! So totally my fault! Thank God for Trish she saved the day and picked some up for me that night!
Then the next day is Friday, Halloween, day of the parties. I feel like supermom going to school. I have my boys dressed in their costumes, strawberries, cookies, and even treat bags I made for each child in both their classrooms. We do the drop off then Zachary and I return home to our normal routine. 11:15 runs around and I the phone rings, its the school...PANIC!
C-Hello
D(director of school)-Hello is this Ryan and Cameron's mom?
C-Yes it is, is everything okay?
D-Well, Cameron's class was just sitting down to eat lunch and I believe you forgot to bring his.
C-(In my mind I am thinking, ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME???)-I called and spoke with you directly yesterday and you said they did not need a lunch because they were having a party.
D-OHHH yes I am so sorry it was a miscommunication and I was misinformed. What would you like to do about it?
C-(in my mind,WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ABOUT IT???) Well I guess I will have to bring them a lunch now won't I?
D-Again I apologize
C-Its okay no problem(ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR MY GAS TO DRIVE BACK UP THERE, SINCE THIS IS YOUR FAULT???)
D-Bye
C-Bye

This just goes to show you that as much as you prepare and think you are doing good, something or someone always messes it up! But we just have to keep on trying!!!

More Later!
