Letting him down...
September 12, 2006 | Category: Mother to the First Power
There are days when I am just certain that I am the worst mommy alive.
Last year, I was all organized for Bear's birthday before we left for New England - I had the invitations, the address book, the reservation made at My Gym.
This year, in my chaos, I had to enlist CD long distance after I had already left. It took about 20 phone calls and 3 different reservations before we came to a date with My Gym and then I was in the strange position of sending out sort of anonymous Birthday Invitation fliers to his new school and invitations to his old classmates.
Last night we got a call from My Gym - however it happened in the flurry of calling in August... there was a miscommunication.
Bear doesn't have the venue for this weekend when we thought. Another party is in there at that time and they were confirmed first.
I tried to look calm as I broke the news to Bear. He listened, and didn't cry.
More stoic than me.
