I forgot to pick up DD from day care last night!
DH normally picks her up, but he had his bike in for repairs and was going to get that instead after work. I knew that, but somehow forgot to translate it in my head to "it's my turn to pick up DD."
So I left work at the usual time, wandered around the grocery store for a bit, enjoyed the weather, and got home at 6:30. And nobody was home. I thought that was a bit unusual, and a bit annoying considering her bedtime is 7:00 and she still has to have dinner if they're out for a walk somewhere.
Then, the lightbulb went off.
So I phoned the DCP, told her I was on my way, and left the house in a tearing hurry. It was almost 7:00 by the time I got there...oops!!
DD was fine, of course, and the DCP was really nice about it. I offered to pay her for her time, and she said no - so I'll take her a bottle of wine on Monday to thank her instead.
And the best part, is that another friend of mine forgot to pick up her kid from day care as well yesterday, so I was giggling a bit at her Facebook status before I left work!
Ah, parenting...not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. :)
