The Imperfect Parent

It's official, whatever sense I had left, has decided to leave the building. In my effort to be overly organized and keep the whole house on tract, I confused my kids off days for school. 

I thought they were off today and Monday. Turns out the school is closed Monday and NEXT Friday. Imagine my surprise/embarrassment when the school called to see why neither one of my kids were at school and I didn't report them absent. 

After my "what you talking about Willis" moment, I had to just laugh at myself. I wanted to fuss at my husband for not double checking but that would have been to no avail. I could just see his dear in headlights expression while he tells me, "I just follow your lead."

This just reminded me that no matter how much you plan, sometimes things just go left. So I'm allowing myself to make mistakes, I'll learn from them and move on. Luckly this mistake was to their advantage (and mine since I took the day off to be with them.) 

So what silly mistake have you made as a parent? Let's be imperfect together.

Forever loving my B.A.D.D. Kids,
Rhonda
