ION, I have hit a new personal low for absentmindedness. I forgot to wake up and take my son to school this morning. I got up at 6:30 as usual, did the car pool with Bobby and his friends and got back home at 8AM, which is when I usually wake up Brendon.
I don't know where I got off track. I was sitting in the office I share with DH and mentioned to him that I forgot to give Brendon lunch money this morning. That didn't make me remember. Then I decided to make myself a pot of tea about 10:30 and on my way to the kitchen I thought about the fact that I had washed a load of #1's shirts last night and wasn't it odd that he hadn't retrieved one from the dryer.
Then it hits me that I never got him out of bed! I ran to his room and woke him. No time for the kid to shower. He grabs his clothes and we get him to school at 11:00 when he starts at 9:30. I wrote him a note for an excused tardy that he had a doctor's appointment because it sounded too lame that his mother forgot to wake him up.
He has free rein to mock me for a month now.
Also, as a side-note, on the way out we noticed that the bees were hopping about in the blossoms on our Florida cherry bushes and I told him this was a perfect time for us to discuss the birds and the bees on the way to school. He enjoyed that comment almost as much as the mocking rights.
