Bad Mommy Award...

goes to me today! I go to Lily's bus stop every day at 5 til 12...every day! Well today apparently that wasn't early enough. I walked to the stop and didn't have my phone with me. I stayed down there until about 12:15 thinking they were just running late, it usually gets there between 12 and 12:05. I walk home to get my phone to call the school and find out what's going on and my phone is ringing. It's my mom, the school has called her because she is the emergency contact (they called me first, but I was outside at the bus stop and didn't hear it ring!), to let her know that Lily is at the school. Yep, I missed the bus and they took her back to school, they won't drop her off without someone outside (I do love that rule though). This is one of the only times I've found a disadvantage to living in a cul-de-sac. They are great as far as less traffic, playing outside, etc. But I would have heard the bus if we weren't so far from the main street. Uggh, boy did I feel like an awful mother walking into that school to get her. Luckily the lady at the office was very nice. I told her I was out there at the same time I was every day and she said that is was a sub driver and maybe she just got there a little early. Lily also said that there were not many kids on the bus today, that would make sense! To top everything off, the school called Matt, so he was calling me finding out what was going on! Ugggh bad mommy, bad mommy! Monday I'll be out there at 11:30, the time she gets out of school!
