- Sorry I forgot my appointment, I was reffing a two child wrestling match on my floor and somehow it slipped my mind. We didn't really need to meet with you anyway, I mean it was just something I scheduled like three months ago...
- Sorry I left a poo filled swim diaper on your back porch. I fully intended to toss it into my bag with all of the towels when I left, but then there was the two year old having a monster hissy fit, the other two year old about to have a hissy fit, a pouty five year old and a ten year old that just didn't want to leave.... Picking up the diaper was completely forgotten until four days later, seriously.
- Sorry I completely spaced practice yesterday. I was yard selling, bake selling and haggling with people over $1 items. By the time my brain remembered practice it was too late and I was too hot.
- Sorry I asked you to babysit my four children approximately 4 hours before we needed to pick you up. Sorry I didn't have dinner made like I normally do, but somehow the yard sale...well, you know... Oh, and sorry you're so good and my kids love you and behave for you, because they're going to be awfully mad when you move in a few months.
- Sorry that I wouldn't give you 10 really nice items for $5 at the yard sale. Something about you wanting to rip me off, in Spanish, really made me not care any more. Plus I'm really sorry that you didn't buy lemonade, it was freaking good.
- Sorry I nearly offended you with zucchini bread. I'm really glad that I was able to change your mind with a slice. Just because it's named after a vegetable that happens to be green, doesn't mean it's nasty.
And that's just this weekend... So here's a few more, in advance, since I'm just such a great planner. We'll just call this the preemptive apology section.
- Sorry you haven't heard from me in weeks, it seems that my Fall 2010 load is a little more than I could fit blogging and Facebook into. We're alive, we're well and we're sort of looking forward to the end of the semester already.
- Sorry that my kids have looked ragged and worn each morning. It seems that we partied a little harder this Summer than we thought and getting back into the swing of things has been really, really fun. Oh, and the cookies I'm known for bringing in to you each week? They'll start when I'm not so busy, say like in 5-10 years?
- Sorry you haven't had a really nice, warm dinner in awhile. Something about homework, piano lessons, soccer practices, church assignments, kids and housework (not necessarily in that order) has made well prepared meals seem a little less important. Be thankful for cold cereal, sandwiches and pasta.
Hopefully we'll see you soon. I have a feeling blogging is now going to become my sanity. You'll hear from me when I'm trying to escape reality, trying to avoid homework, or if something really exciting happens. Like if I win anything for the photo contest I'm entering this week, you'll totally hear from me. Oh, or if we accomplish potty training, napping without the circus or anything else significant I'm sure you'll hear something.
Love y'all!

I couldn't help but laugh when I read all that because I feel the same way! I'm always late, or not thinking straight about something. YOu are awesome though. Just thought You should know.
Welcome to the life of a Mom. Somehow it doesn't seem right that we're meeting everyone else's needs and yet we're the one left feeling bad. There's a lesson there.
Oh, may I add one... Sorry I'm "the meanest mom in the whole wide world." I hope you'll thank me some day. :)
How about mine from just today.. "Sorry, I completly forgot Kindergarten Orientation was tonight, even though we were just at the school this morning for a placement test."
"Would you mind babysitting my kids... like, now please if you don't mind."
"Sorry Sweetie, dinner tonight is the restaurant of your choice."
"Sorry, did you say tier swimming lessons that we've been coming to for months doesn't start until 10:30, not the 10:00 that I showed up to today for some reason?"
All in a days work, right?
Sorry I didn't have a zucchinni to give you afterall for your bake sale! I'm sure there's more out there that I haven't gotten to and I totally spaced it that week!
Sorry to see your sunburn from the yard sale. Here's hoping you're enjoying a really nice tan!
Sorry to say that you're more sorry than me right now, but not to worry because I'm always sorry to and sometimes the most sorriest case of all! :)
P.S. And I so know about the "someone trying to rip you off in spanish part". Thanks for the extra laugh today!:)
