Bad Mommy

Today is my day off, and boy - what a good day to stay home!! I got Lucy down for an early nap, proud of myself because that way I didn't have to wake her too early to go and get Carlie from school. Work has been busy, so I spent a lot of the day working as well. Lucy slept a little over two hours, and I was in the process of slowly waking her, warming the van and shoveling the driveway. When I got to school, I was a bit concerned, as there were NO cars in the pick up line - had I missed an early dismissal alert? I know the weather was bad, but everybody I talked to said CLS didn't dismiss early due to weather. I started to panic a little, heart rate rising some. Mind you that Lucy has no shoes - still in her pajamas from nap. So I parked the van and went in...guess what - I forgot about early dismissal today! My angel was sitting in her coat on the office floor and they were talking about calling her [horrible] mom. I could have cried!! Carlie told me that she thought I forgot her...what kind of bad mom am I? She doesn't seem too harmed over the event, but I feel like such a bad, bad mommy. We laugh about it now...but you better believe...I won't forget again!
