Yes, you read it correctly, due to - apparently, the lack of checking the backpack for important dates - we missed Savannah's Preschool Graduation! Being a preschool teacher of the same age, I can't imagine why I wasn't called. I guess they thought we would SURELY show up any minute to our child's graduation. Not us. Nope. I was sitting at home alone watching VH1 and occasionally dancing to songs like, "Real World" by Matchbox Twenty. I'm not kidding.

My, "you're a bad mother" voice rang in my ears for years over this. Savannah didn't have to say a word even if she knew to. Not once, did she ask, "Where were you?". Not once, did it dawn on me that that wasn't normal.
