CONVERSATION OVERHEARD
On Friday, I was at my son’s daycare, waiting to pick him up. Whilst practicing my 6 ft social distancing, I stood back behind the check-in front gate and that’s when I overheard THIS CONVERSATION between a son and his mom. Her son sadly said, “It was Halloween costume day!” And his mom quickly replied, “I didn’t know.”
Wow. That hurt! She just completely dismissed him. Didn’t know?? Jesus, there were signs plastered EVERYWHERE!! Slacker mom. Poor kid. Yeah, she had several children and the looked like a handful— and NO, I don’t know shit about her life except for that one, sad sound bite of a conversation. I LOVE HALLOWEEN….maybe that mom could care less about it. Who knows. I’m just happy and proud of myself for being a good mom to my son. Three or four weeks ago, it was “Show and Tell” day at Donnie’s school and I had NO idea!!! There were no signs or, if there were signs, I didn’t know to look for them. I felt so badly about it!!! They said they were doing “Show and Tell” every 2 weeks on Wednesday. So, you bet your ass I had Donnie’s “Show and Tell” toy ready for him! And guess what?? Two weeks later on Wednesday, I gave Donnie his motorcycle to show to his class— and then when I picked him up, they said they didn’t have “Show and Tell” today. I asked for his motorcycle because Donnie didn’t have it and they said that his teacher accidentally left with it inside her pocket!! Ohhhh Lordt! I had JUST given Donnie this motorcycle, so he was wanting to play with it. No biggie though— the next day, we got his motorcycle back. STILL….the point is, I’m on-top of my child’s life and I stay super involved because I want him to have the best and fullest experiences EVER!!
For you single, sober moms out there— yall fucking ROCK. I will do absolutely ANYTHING for my child. I’m sick as a dog right now and guess what??— that doesn’t matter— single moms don’t get days off. I about died today….hacking it up….OMG. Today was fucking rough, but I made it. It’s my sinuses— chronic sinusitis for the past 4 years— any sort of bug I catch, my sinuses say a big FUCK YOU……ugh. Yall…..ok, best be getting to sleep soon— I have to hop on a call at 7am. I’m not sure if I’m going to take Donnie to daycare BEFORE my call or afterwards. Thing is, this call COULD take 3 hours or 1 hour— I have no idea. Guess I’ll figure it the fuck out tomorrow!!
Oh!! And I’m SUPER BLESSED God put a special person back in my life— I’m so very happy and excited about this awesome adventure!! I just need to get better!! Love y’all. Hope you had a great weekend.
