Ugh worst parent on the planet today! Last minute GP appointment that then took AGES to get in to actually see the GP. Made me late for picking youngest up :eek: 25 minutes late!!
The first time ever and I've been doing nursery/school runs for over 6 years! I feel so bad I still feel sick about it“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

School was brilliant about it, I called to tell them obviously. I just feel awful
Youngest has bedtime for the weekend so will need to take some pictures of the bear being involved in the Xmas activities and bedtime and send them into school Monday.
Older two said Xmas dinner was okay but they don't want to go on school dinners :rotfl:
I'm so tired. I think an early night for us all is the plan.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

I do still feel awful
A lot of Mummy guilt
Youngest however is completely over it and so happy she has bedtime bear :rotfl:
We went to visit relatives for a cuppa. Smalls showered in gifts and sweets :cool: We only see them once a year luckily :rotfl:
Need to do some decorating. Don't think I'd settle laying down anyway.
Still haven't meal planned! Spent just under £5 in L!dl on fruit, veg and milk, but really need to do a list and things though :cool:“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Aww great to hear the wee yin has got the class bear
...and how may times do we have to tell you woman? When it comes to being a top class, super-mum; sweetheart, you got that, right on the button
We all know it and so do the three wee yins... you ROCKBUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
R.I.P. T.P.0 -
Sometimes we are late and it's out of our control - but you phoned the school and they looked after youngest and through it some part of her has learned that Mummy does come and get her and there's nothing to worry about... so she's learned a good life lesson without being traumatised. That's what I call a secure child so you must be doing the parenting thing right.
