While getting ready for bed tonight:<\/p>\n
Emily:<\/b> “Mommy, why didn’t you come to lunch today?”<\/i><\/p>\n
I flash on that note that came home yesterday saying that there was a writing celebration on Wednesday, where the kids can have lunch with their parents and then go back to the classroom to show what they’ve written. Since the note said it was a Thanksgiving celebration, I had mentally filed it away as being NEXT Wednesday. Of course, now I realize it couldn’t be, since there is no school next Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Me:<\/b> “I didn’t know that was today, sweetie. I’m sorry.”<\/p>\n
Emily:<\/b> “Some of the other mommies came.”<\/i><\/p>\n
Me:<\/b> “I know. I’m sorry, sweetie, I didn’t realize. Would you like me to come and have lunch with you some other day?”<\/p>\n
Emily:<\/b> “Yes.”<\/i><\/p>\n
Me:<\/b> “Okay, sweetie, I’ll definitely do that.”<\/p>\n
What was that I said about other people<\/i> letting my baby down? Ugh.<\/p>\n
On the up side, it’s pretty remarkable that she was able to express a sentiment like “some of the other mommies came.” And we spent a LOT of time together this afternoon, just hanging out by the swing out back, then later, playing like crazy.<\/p>\n
Yeah, I still feel like crap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
