 Today I was at home working on my son's Kindergarten class roster (I am the room Mom), waiting until 2:10 to leave tp pick him up from school, when all of a sudden my phone rings and the conversation goes like this:

Me: Hello?

Other End: Eryka? This is Mrs. Kimoto (DS's teaher). Are you going to pick up "DS"?

Me:  OMG!!!!!!! TODAY IS TUESDAY!!!!! I AM SO SORRY... I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE! (school let's out an hour earlier on Tuesday's so he was out at 1:28, it was now 1:50)

Other End:  That's okay.  I just can't stay with him beacuse I have a meeting right now so he will be in the office with another friend.

Me:  OMG!! I'm coming now!

I ran so fast out of the house.  I called DH on the way and told him I am such a horrible Mom.  I felt and still feel bad. And to top it off, it didn't help that the office staff was so rude to me.  When I pick up DS, mind you he is still 4, the conversation was like this:

DS: You came so late today.  I was such a special craxy day.

Me:  I am so sorry Baby.  I feel so bad.

DS:  It's okay.  I wasn't scared

Me;  You weren't?  How come?

DS: Because I know you will always come back

And then when we got in the car I was hugging him and telling him I was so sorry and he say's again: "It's okay Mommy, you weren't that late", all while patting my back.

:(  My baby knew all the right things to make me feel better and pick me up. 

DH said "see, he's a tough lil guy"

(I still feel horrible though!!!)

Lucky! I missed the bus ONE time and the 5 yr old (@the time) wouldn't let me forget!
"Remember that time you forgot about me and they took me back to school and I had to wait in the principals office, remember?"

"Uh.no that wasn't me, honey. You must be thinking of someone else"

(I don't know how people say adults brainwash kids. I can't convince her of shit!)

*that was 2 years ago. I STILL hear about it from time to time*
