"Oh My Gosh, I Forgot to Get Hayden!"
So, today Layne and I left the house around 10:30am so that we could run a few errands before we picked Hayden up at preschool. As I rushed from store to store I kept my eye on the clock in order to make sure I wasn't late picking the little diddle up. I made my last stop and rushed back in the car at 11:45- Ahh, just in time to pick Hayden up and I won't be late! Then I made the mistake of calling my sis back. We talked and talked and I even told her that I was on the way to pick Hayden up and even though I was going to arrive at her school around noon I would most likely be the last one to pick their child up. The last few times that I have arrived at noon to pick Hayden up they have her waiting in the front lobby-Is my watch wrong, does noon really mean 11:50 in preschool terms? School ends at noon but all of the parents get there at like 11:45-overachievers I guess. As we talked and talked I just drove and drove. I stopped at the mailbox to get the mail and made a comment to Sep about the lack of mail and then drove on up the driveway. I pulled into the garage and turned off the car and then it hit me- "Oh my gosh Sep, I forgot to pick up Hayden! I can't believe I did this! Now she really IS going to be waiting and I really AM going to be late! I can't believe that I forgot to pick up my own daughter at school and that's practically all we were talking about on the drive!" Sure enough, when I pulled up at 12:05 she was waiting in the front lobby staring out the window like a little lost sheep....
Sep called later tonight while I happened to be making dinner. I said to her, "Sep I can't talk to you right now. It's bad enough that I forgot to pick my daughter up at school I can't risk forgetting to feed them dinner too!"
