I'm "That Person"

You know "that mom" at Walmart, the one whose kids are running around like banshees, whose basket is overflowing with food, who looks like she's one twitch away from losing it completely...

that was me yesterday.

You know "that mom" who sends raunchy emails to elementary school principals when errors are made and their darling little overachieving first grader doesn't receive the Principal's Award (honor roll)...who in said email gives a scathing review of the world's worst fine arts teacher who makes kids cry when they cough and some kids would rather wet their pants than ask to use the restroom, who openly dismisses parents and students if he's busy with something else, and loudly yells at classes full of kids (or individuals in the large class) because they're not perfect, and is an open supporter of OU...

that was me today.

But in my defense, I did not copy said teacher in said email, even though I twice put his name in there, I also twice deleted it. And the look from Savannah when she didn't receive the Principal's Award would break anyone's heart, because her lowest grade all year was a 95. She's an over-achiever who was truly heart-broken because of what we can only hope was an oversight.

I'm also "that mom" who was sooooo pleasantly surprised when her husband came home unexpectedly early last night, because she'd been missing him all week. "That mom" who baked 18 dozen cookies for family, friends and neighbors for Christmas treats. "That mom" who made 45 classroom goodie bags for Christmas parties at school today. "That mom" who takes annoying numbers of pictures at both awards ceremonies and both class parties. "That mom" who is just as excited (or more) than her kids that they'll be out of school until January 3rd.

So I'm not all bad.
