I forgot!

I can't believe it. It is all she talked about for weeks. I even signed the permission slip. Then, I forgot. I was busily starting my day, washing dishes, vacuuming, and this morning I decided to give the dog a much needed bath. Although I don't think he'd admit it to anyone who can speak dog, I think he actually enjoyed it. I came back to the living room, started folding laundry and looked up at the clock.....when I saw the time 10:50 it hit me! Oldest daughters Parent Lunch at the school. I forgot. : ( They had to have it at 10:30 so that it wouldn't interrupt regular lunch schedules)

I normally don't forget these kinds of things, I am a stay at home mom (for the most part) so I really have no other plans that could get in the way of time with my kids, especially when invited by the school to have lunch with my kids. I just got caught up with chores. CHORES. Why did I get caught up with chores of all things?? I have vowed to never again be so obsessed with chores that I miss one of the kids events at school. I felt terrible!

When I realized what I had done I immediately went to the school hoping that maybe they were still eating. Meanwhile I got a phone call on my cell phone from one of the other moms asking where I was. They know I am the type of mom that always comes to these things. I told them I was on the way but they were just finishing. I had just enough time to hug my daughter and tell her how sorry I was that I missed it. She was ok with it, she was a little sad that I wasn't there but she said, "that's ok, mommy." I was more upset about the whole situation than she was. I told her I'd make it up to her, when actually there was nothing I could do. The other moms sat with her so that she wasn't alone but I SHOULD have been there.

That was the only thing I HAD to do today and I forgot.
