{Jocelyn enjoying her chocolate donut}
Aubrey forgot her school lunch at home so we all piled into the car to drop it off.
When asked by the secretary who her teacher was, I gave a blank stare and tried for the life of me to remember. (tap, tap...anyone home?) This would have normally slipped off my tongue easily. But instead, I offered up the assistant principal’s name instead. (Long story short – we aren’t on the best of terms (we don’t both agree on the same definition of the word: honesty) and I saw her peaking around the corner, so I have a feeling that’s why I said her name on accident.)
I like the secretary. She’s genuinely nice and doesn’t get on the political bandwagon. It’s too bad she’s retiring! They need more people like her.
So she kindly asked, “What grade is she in?”
4th I replied.
And then she listed the right teacher’s name. Duh! To ease my embarrassment, I chuckled as I backed up to quickly leave, and made an apologetic comment that my children have taken my brain.
I thought I was rehearsing in my head on our way home what I should have said back at the school instead of making a fool of myself. But apparently I was talking to myself outloud because Jocelyn was quick to interrupt me saying, “Mommy, are you talking to yourself?”
"Why yes---yes I am." [scary!]
The original plan was to go straight home. But I felt that a treat was in desperate need so Starbucks it was. A mini chocolate donut dipped in white frosting with sprinkles for the misses and an apple fritter for me. Of course, I shared with Andrew. And I believe he loved it just as much as I did. I'll vouge for him that he did-he enhauled every piece I gave him. I think that a treat every once in awhile is definitely a must. Especially being a mom. But I also love seeing the spontaneous smiles these treats bring to my children's faces. And I can't possibly forget that to my rescue, the sun is out today (a miracle!) and it has truly lifted my spirits. Hopefully I’ll be able to find my brain around here somewhere...
Otherwise, I’m NOT leaving the house until I do!!
