I can’t believe it! I should be on a bus right now, going on a field trip with the Lil Princess. Instead, karma has caught up with me.
When I offered to give that writing workshop at school, I had no idea her teacher would ask me to go on the field trip. I didn’t really want to go, but I knew the Lil Princess would enjoy having me with her. Don't good moms love field trips? Hmm, what's wrong with me?
The fact is: I like it when the kids are at school and the hubby is at work. Yes, I’m working too—cleaning, cooking, promoting books, blogging—but it’s so peaceful with just me and the four furry beasties. I cherish this time before homework, fighting, and running kids back and forth to events erupt around here. From 3 PM to 9 PM is a blur every weekday. Pretty much, I’ve dreaded going on this field trip since I said yes. Does that make me a horrible mother? Maybe.
Well, this morning I woke up with a nasty stomach virus. I had to call the school and tell them I couldn’t go—unless a bathroom was within 3 feet of everywhere we went. It wasn’t a fun day. Yes, it was nice to sit in bed and rest for a while, but other than that, I felt awful I broke my plans with the Lil Princess.
See what happens when I say yes when I should have said no.
