Yesterday I
received a phone call from the school my son attends. It was one of the school secretaries. Our conversations went a little bit like this,
Me: Hello?
School Secretary: Hi Sky, is Johnny sick today?
I immediately looked at the clock, it was 9:59, and my heart dropped. 2 hours. 2 hours since Johnny had left for school.
I
squeaked out a "No! and What?". I think that the lady could hear my distress. I was starting to freak out.
Thankfully, she called down to the classroom and was able to confirm that Johnny was indeed, in school. His name was
accidentally marked as absent. He was there, everything was okay.
As a mom, that phone call did some damage. It took a while to recover from it. It's going to taken an even longer while to forget it.
