Wow, today my daughter totally called me out!! Here's the story....
This is my week to pick up Reilly and her friend Sophie from preschool. They get out of school at 12:55. Last night I had a friend who is a realtor tell me she had someone interested in our rental house and wondered if I could show it between 12:00-1:00. I said that surely I could meet her there at 1:00, thinking I'd have enough time for Braxton and I to eat lunch and then get to school to pick up the girls. While we were at the rental house, they sent me a message saying they were running late and I told them I couldn't stay past 1:20, which would allow me enough time to get home for Braxton to go potty (he's potty training now!) and then get to school to get in the pickup line. The whole time it never donned on me that I was NOT thinking! We got home from the rental house at 1:05 and I stared at the clock for a few minutes and then finally it HIT me! HOLY COW! I was WAY past late to get the girls...surely they would be standing around waiting for me to get there! Wow. So embarrassing. So shameful.
Then, the kids and I were playing on the driveway and Reilly asked me for some lemonade. I started to get out a cup without a lid and she said, "no mommy, I want one with a lid so I can take it outside". I told her to get the cup that she had at school today for lunch and I would just refill it instead of getting a new cup dirty. She told me that she didn't know where that cup was. I explained that she unpacked her own bookbag so she would need to remember what she did with her cup. She responded that I didn't GIVE HER A CUP TODAY with her lunch!! No drink. Nothing. I couldn't believe her so I asked what she drank today at school. She said water....from the bathroom. And I asked her what she had with her lunch and she said NOTHING!! Holy cow, I didn't even give my child a drink to have at school for 4 hours that she was there! I started apologizing and she quickly replied, "Mommy, is the baby eating all your brains?"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow.
So much truth comes out of the mouth of a 4yr. old!!
