That’s
what my 5th grade daughter said to me as soon as I picked up the
phone rather frantically this morning. I say frantically because I was driving
to the school to volunteer at the Luau when her phone call came in.
Seeing
it was the school calling at this time of morning makes a Mom’s mind jump into
sick or hurt kid mode. But no- it was my sweet daughter saving her over tired
Mom from showing up at the wrong event on the wrong day.
After
I thanked her and hung up, I started laughing as I turned around to head back
home. I found it quite funny that Mrs. Planner
me, Mrs. “I’ve got this handled” me was heading to school to be keep my “appointment”
with the 5th grade classes who would need me to guide them in all
things crafty at my table from 10 am to 11am. It said so on my planner.

I even had my daughter convinced that it must be a combo event- a field day and Luau party day because it was on my planner and on the family calendar and since I am very rarely wrong on scheduling and even more rarely miss an appointment, we believed me.
I
even had Melissa lug a bag full of Bubbles and drink pouches on the bus with
her this morning so they would be there, ready for the parents arriving early
to set up for the Luau.
Except
that I was wrong and it’s not Luau day.
It’s
field day. I didn’t volunteer to help on
field day because it’s Friday and I always work on billing etc. for my husband’s
business on Friday’s.
So
why did I find myself half way to school, still air drying the back of my hair
on a Friday morning?
I
can come up with several plausible explanations-
- I am sleep deprived (says every parent on the planet trying to finish out the school year strong).
- I looked at the wrong planner/calendar/notepad/notebook/post it notes. (Which is true, I had the right info on the family calendar.)
- Melissa thought it was Luau day too.
But
in the end, I think this little “Oops” was much needed comic relief. The
universes way of saying “Hey Linda, slow down and quit white knuckling yourself
to the end of the school year”.
Message
received loud and clear Universe!
I
took a look at my planner just now and surprisingly, happily, the only thing I
have on my planner for Friday May 23rd is: Our Summer starts!
Whew-
I think I’m going to make it after all!
