One Word is all it takes...

How is it that one word can change a day that has gone so well up to that point? Today I went to pick the boys up from Art Class at school and Travis' teacher came up to me and said, "What is your problem? Where were you?" (insert dazed and confused look here) "Excuse me???" I have no idea what she is talking about. She goes on to explain that we had a conference today at 3:30. Say what?!?!? She goes on to explain that there was a note in his folder (insert bad mom feelings here). I did not check his folder all weekend, mainly because we were not here all weekend. We were at football games!! Now I feel like a terrible mother that has been reprimanded by the first grade teacher. She wanted no part of we are so busy speech. Frankly neither would I!!
It is just the fact that now I am in a bad mood because of it! I was having such a good day...why do I let the way other people think of me affect me so much. (should that be effect?? I never know) I know insert ADD moment here! I am going to go for a short walk and talk to God, I know He will bring me back. Thanks for letting me dump on you! I never feel like a bad mom when I blog...Maybe because no one talks back to me right away... HA!!

I'm thinking she should have gotten a confirmation on that 3:30 appointment. She can't just assume you could have come, even if you had received the note. That was rude of her. You should not feel bad about that. Besides, I always use the excuse that is the responsibility of the children to show me what's in their folder!! Just throw Travy under the bus!:)
