Walk of Shame

A different kind of walk of shame happened for me yesterday. I forgot about parent teacher conferences. It had been a had been a really bad day at work and I was starting my mega drive home from where I had to be yesterday, when the phone rang. It was 6:00 and Hubby was calling to tell me that Super Girl had informed him that parent teacher conferences were tonight. We had missed them. it was 6:00 and our time was 5:40. I had failed. Once again. I was a loser and we were not doing what needed to be done for poor Super Girl. We suck. I hate feeling like a horrible parent.

How do you forget parent teacher conferences? Well, I can tell you it starts with now knowing what the hell day of the week we are on..... Yup, I didn't have full conscious recollection of what the hell day it was. No fricking wonder we forgot about conferences! We didn't know what freaking day it was!!! Hubby was in the same boat. I asked him to run back to the school to apologize and arrange another day. He argued with me that he was way across town and didn't have time! I lost my mind and hung up on him. Better to hang up on him than to scream at him.

Finally I pull myself together and call him back. He does not even realize that I'm now crazy mad at him for having the "whatever" attitude. His attitude was "Oh, we can call her tomorrow." Sure, and get a snarky email (well deserved) from her tonight? I thought not.

After another annoying conversation we decide to meet at the school. We get there, sit, wait, and finally see her. She agrees to put us at the end of the list if we are willing to wait. Sure we will wait! Finally we do the conference and Super Girl is doing pretty well. The whole process was stressful enough to make my head explode. I need more hours in the day for all of this!!

So, today is Saturday and I have huge projects due in 2 of my classes this week. I'm tired and not motivated to work on them. I am going to take a nap and hope that motivation returns when I wake....
