Calgon...take me away!

So when I said I’d post soon I really meant it. Who know life would throw me so many curve balls all at once. I’ve been preoccupied with two recent deaths of friends I hold very dear in my heart. A family chaos resulting in a lot of sad outcomes. Keeping busy with business ventures and being pregnant with a lot of emotions and my head in the clouds the past two weeks. My ears are numb from spending so much time on the phone only trying to help people, my fingers are bleeding from typing so many emails and chats and my nerves are shot resulting in a two week major headache.

So among all that I happened to embarrasses my 6 yr old daughter the past two days at school. We had been looking forward to red ribbon week ever since she brought home the schedule of what they get to dress up in all week. This week has been Parent Teacher Conference with early dismissal dates. My friends have kids in other schools and are participating in the same thing. So naturally I thought it was taking place this week until a cute boy that I carpool with told me it was next week. I thought for sure he was wrong and how sad it is that he isn’t participating. Then I get home and check the schedule again….IT’S NEXT WEEK!

I’ve had my daughter dress all in red from head to toe on Monday for Red Spirit day. Can you guess what today was? Crazy shoes and socks day! I let my child out of the house like this only because we thought it was a dress up day at school. I had to break it to her that mom made a HUGE mistake and it’s really next week. Does she look impressed with me? When will it get back to normal? Does anyone have an extra hole I can crawl in for a while?

Funny Story. Thanks for calling Jared cute. :) I had no idea you were having a hard time this week. You mentioned you needed some get out of the house time...who passed away? I'm so sorry. See you tomorrow.

I hope the week is looking up for you! Blame it on pregnacy, that always worked for me! You know if anyone can pull off being a week ahead of schedule it's Abby. And she looked adorable, of course you will have to find different crazy socks for next week as everyone has already seen these ones. I think I may come down one day next week, it sounds like you could use a out to lunch day, I'll call ya! Just keep in mind most people have horribly embarrassing moments as parents, so you are not alone.
