and the worst mother award goes to...

drumroll please...

me!!!

today was a little crazy...
i'm home on break, and i got a late start on lunch
jaden has to be at school at 12:45, and we were pushing it!

i rushed the girls to the truck, and headed off to school...
when we pulled up, i thought it was a little strange that her classmates were not in the hallway like normal, but i know we were running late...{although i knew in the back of my mind we weren't that late}...and i thought the kids had already headed to class...
so i kiss jaden, tell her to go straight to her classroom, and ashlyn and i head off to run an errand...

i made it about half a block away from the school when something started nagging me...i vaguely remembered that today might have been the day they had an early dismissal!

crap!

so i call the school to verify...the conversation went something like this...

me: "hi...do you have an early dismissal today?"
secretary: "yes...did you just drop off a kindergartner?"

so i make a u-turn and race back to the building...
as i pull in, the assistant principal is walking jaden out to the truck

please keep in mind that all of this happened in a matter of about 3 minutes...

i get jaden...{who is breaking my heart with the crocodile tears}, i put my arm around her, apologize, tell her i love her, and she says...
"thanks! you ruined everything! you should give your number to mrs. caldwell so she can call and tell you when i have a dismissal next time!"


...my bad...
