And The Mother Of The Year Award Goes To...

Not Me! Last Thursday I got a phone message asking me to send 24 uniced cupcakes to school for Valentines so the kids in Miss Grimms class could decorate them. Well Miss Grimm is Bailey's teacher, but somehow I got it in my mind that it was for Cody's class. So that night Cody got to choose what kind of cupcakes and he helped me bake them. I told him that we didn't need to ice them because another mom was bringing icing and they would get to decorate them in class, how fun! Well the next day I get a frantic message from Bailey's room mother wondering where the cupcakes are! By the time I got the message and called back it was too late to do anything. She had them decorate gramham crackers instead. I felt so bad, I was sick. And when Bailey came home she said she almost cried in class. They asked her where the cupcakes were that her mom was supposed to send and the poor girl didn't have a clue what they were talking about. Mean while Cody happily takes his lovely uniced cupcakes to class and asks the teacher if the other mom brought the icing to decorate. His teacher probably thinks I'm and idiot! Cody didn't mind, his class ate them with the pretty iced cupcakes that another mom sent in and he told me "Mom our cupcakes were really good and chocolatey!"
So I really don't think that I will be up for any mother of the year awards for this one!
