I’m standing in David Jones with Sherrie and Hayley, having a whale of a time spending up and doing the girl thing when there’s a lull in the piped elevator music, long enough for me to hear the mobile message tone thingy.
Fast forward 90 seconds and all laugher and spending has stopped. I’m soooo panicking, Luca has been left at school, all forgotten, because I had a mind lapse for the entire day and failed to arrange after school care. At this point I’m over an hour away, can’t get in touch with Crayton and suddenly realising just how utterly stupid it was to try and arrange this “day away”..
Forty seven telephone calls later and he’s been bundled off to the appropriate building and I’ve come over all teary, my bossoms are leaking and I’m missing Ivy like crazy. Shopping doesn’t seem like fun anymore and I feel a World, not an hour, away from my kids.
( and I wonder if today’s the day it will be discovered that I’m only pretending to be a fully acredited Mother.)
