F=Fail

that's the grade i received today. this morning, i read my emails, good thing too, since there was an important one from ms. r. reminding me that today was the student's author festival for parents at 2:15. i made a mental note. it was monday, so there wasn't a huge amount of things going on. i did my step class at the y. the girls and i played and had lunch. i put baby mims down for her afternoon nap and makayah and i tidied up the house. mims was still sleeping when it was time to pick isaiah up after school. so, i left the baby monitor with my neighbor and went to pick him up. i rushed over to the steps where he was waiting...with a very sad face. i asked him what was wrong. he was the only kid whose parents didn't show up for their author festival. darn it! darn, darn, darn. thank goodness for that mental note, NOT. i completely forgot and completely blew it. i felt horrible. today was not a good mom day. i have a very sad son, in tears because i wasn't there for him to read his stories to. today, mama gets an F.
