Go ahead, laugh. I understand.
My phone rang this morning and I panicked. Please no. Please do not let the camp be calling. I mean I expected it. She was bound to blow out today -- the morning at home didn't go well. So shaking and taking short breaths I picked up the phone. It was my brother.
Which is another person I have been avoiding. This is one of my bio brothers. I know it sounds cruel. But it is just drama. His adoptive sister calls and lets me know each time he is arrested. Then he calls saying he is short on bills and asks for money. Denies being arrested. He says his adoptive sister is in an abusive relationship and tells lies about him to throw attention off of him. And he calls all the time. Monday morning. At 10:30am. Wouldn't most people think I would be at work? Not him. He is confused when I don't answer.
I saw the caller ID and I was releaved. It was not the camp. There is still hope for the day. And I was annoyed. Don't call me with personal shit at work.
As I was heading out the door at 5pm the phone rang again. Panic again. No No NO! It is 5pm. I almost made it. How can she be in trouble this late in the day? I look at the caller ID. It is not camp. It is a friend of my mom's I called earlier in the day to ask a favor. Forgot about that.
Heart rate returns to normal and I go get the kid... who, by the way, had a great day.
It is brought on by having a crappy old fashion cell phone from the stone ages.......get a smart phone and all your problems will fade away. hehe love ya!
ReplyDeleteGlad her Monday went well. My Monday afternoon was at the doctors for med checks with the girls. Layla was BONKERS! I was like, WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!
ReplyDeleteShe was fine when we returned to the car. We changed medications, so we will see if this helps them.
There are some days I wish I had gone the med route with Ladybug. Just a little bit of help. And I don't care what the school says this year -- I want her to go through the IEP process. She needs it or school will be a mess this year too.
ReplyDeleteIEP yes. This post really resonated with me. I've had periods of my life when the phone scared the crap out of me and I screened EVERY.CALL.
