Thirty Weeks and 1 day..... and oh what a day I had!
Today was my 30 week doctors appointment. Nothing really new to report except a happy healthy active baby with a heartbeat of 138BPM. She also has finished her journey and has found her way head down. She has also dropped a little... not a whole lot just a little. So no alarms yet I still have 10 weeks till the due date and 8 more till it is "OK" for her to come.
Today was one of those days that you wish you could crawl into bed and start over. The Doctors appointment was the only thing that seemed pleasant today.
This morning while leaving OfficeMax I went to get into my car. I put the key in the door, turned it, got in, put my purse on the passengers seat and then..... realized something. Ummmmmm wow I have a stereo (mine was stolen last month), my car isn't this clean, ummmmm that's not my cup in the holder, MY INTERIOR IS BROWN NOT GRAY! Oh my this isn't my car!
I panicked and hopped out of there and didn't bother locking their doors. I was sooooo embarrassed! I ran back inside to OfficeMax. I explained what happened to the clerk and asked her to page the owner so I can explain what had happened. The clerk assured me that no one noticed and she doubted they would. To go ahead and leave. That if someone came in saying someone got into their car she was going to explain what had happened. So I went ahead and left... Spooked out of my mind... it was just weird.
Then my day gets even better.... I am waiting at home for Katielyn to be dropped off by the bus. She goes to preschool from 9am to 11:30am. So I am waiting and I am waiting. I lost track of time. I was busy on the computer working. I realize that Katie was to be dropped off a half hour ago. I look for my phone and see that I have 2 missed calls. ????? I didn't hear anything.... Oh yeah I put it on Vibrate for my appointment and forgot to change it back. I listen to the voice-mail and OMG the bus came and they tried to call so they left! With Katie! The voice-mail said they were going to take her back to school and I need to go pick her up.
My heart just dropped.... now I feel like a complete idiot and the worlds worse parent. I could only imagine what Katie was feeling. Expecting to get off the bus at HER HOUSE to only drive away from it and no mommy!
So I hopped in the car and raced like a mad woman to her school. Thank God I didn't get a ticket! Michael calls because he came home for lunch and I wasn't there. So I start freaking out and crying on the phone.... What who me cry? Don't kid yourself this pregnancy has turned me into waterworks.
So I arrive at her school and run to the office. I frantically ask, "Where is Katie?, The bus was bringing her back here." They looked at me like I was a crazy woman (I probably looked like one) and told me they had no idea no ones dropped a three year old off at the office (Katielyn goes to a Elementary School for Preschool).
So I just walk out in search of her class room. And around the corner comes her teacher! Thank God. I ask her, "Is Katie with you?" She said, "No didn't the bus drop her off?" That when I lost it. I went into complete hysterics because my kid is lost and it was my fault. The teacher, Mrs. Beth, consoled me and told me "Don't worry the bus is due back here in a few minutes with the afternoon kids and procedure is that they bring the kids back here that they couldn't drop off."
I felt better and like she said there came the bus. Katie was so ecstatic to see me that she was pushing kids out of the way and she forgot her backpack. I felt so bad and apologized to the driver for not hearing the horn. That's when the driver said, "I didn't honk. I put my back up 'beepers' on." What? You didn't honk. She said that they are not allowed to because neighborhoods complain about the honking! I was so mad she didn't honk.
After a long crazy day I am glad that nothing else has happened and my little girl is home with me.
Lets just say better day tomorrow! LOL!
