bad mom?

I know I am foggy headed and a bit blonde but when it comes to my children I have always been at the top of my game; or so I thought. Judah gets off her bus at about 3:05 pm each day, however every now and then the school throws in an early dismissal. I nearly missed one at the beginning of the year and just today my neighbor brought her over to me as I pulled in the driveway at 3oclock. Judah had only been waiting for about 10 minutes but she was upset, and I was so frustrated!! What is my problem? (In my defense) Because Judah was sick for the last few days she did not get the paper in her folder that let me know of the schedule change. (In the school's defense) It is written in other newsletters and such. (In my defense) I get so inundated with information that I feel it is imposable to take it all in.
I spent the day today at work trying to make our Sunday school check in safer for parents and children while my daughter spent the last 10 to 15 minutes of my workday at a strange neighbors house. How is that for irony?

You are NOT a bad mom! Judah was fine. I feel you about all the information. I get a packet of papers each Tuesday from Cais' teacher. She is really unorganized, so I get outdated information ALL the time! Really frustrating!
Anyway, I'm so excited you are coming! I can't wait!

Brandi Meeker's mom here... you are not a bad Mom. I don't know if Brandi will remember, you may have to ask her, I was late getting home to her one time, I was doing 85 across 270 in a panic because I feared she would panic. When I got home a cruiser was sitting in the driveway, more panic. Only to find out her Dad had asked a cruiser to stop by because he didn't make it in time either. It happens, they survive and they forget, while we torment ourselves. We are, after all, only human.
