My stomach really, really hurt while I was reading..but as DT mentioned.. how wonderful to figure out what a super smarty pants AJ is. And seriously, with all of the mapping he does.. He probably could have gotten to the Carquinez Bridge right? This was the best possible set of circumstances to have this play out. What a relief to know that AJ handles himself with your same calm demeanor.<BR/><BR/>by the way... where was the contact list that the coach surely has? Even when I was a kid, (and the world was safe ha!) our coach would go to the **pay phone**... and give a reminder call home. Coach is an idget. Jeesh. <BR/><BR/>and stop with the points.. remember if you ever wonder if you are a good mom, <B>you are</B>...bad moms don't ever ask the question.<BR/><BR/>oh yeah and the brownies were delicious.Jen Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178547646207135454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259217.post-83404934687731261382007-05-29T23:07:00.000-07:002007-05-29T23:07:00.000-07:001.

Just in dealing with daily life in the quirky tribe, you've scored enough mommy points for about 100 kids and a dozen life times, so missing out on a couple here and there is not going to make a difference in the long run.<BR/>3. While of course noone wants to forget their kid anywhere ever, of all the circumstances, this was probably the best one. It was for a short period of time, still daylight and good weather, in a safe place that he knew and could walk the way home from. And it gave you a perfect opportunity to rehearse an emergency plan with AJ that you otherwise may not have thought of putting into place, and in the abstract might not have made any sense to him. So now if you are facing a real emergency (or even just are running late some time), he'll be even better prepared for what he should do.<BR/>4. What the fuck is his coach thinking???? Did he just leave a 2nd grader at school without knowing what was going to happen to him???? Even a totally typically 2nd grader shouldn't just be left somewhere by the adult in charge of the group unless that was the pre-arranged plan.<BR/>5. You are a totally awesome Mama!!!!!!!!!doubletroublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476984669401567278noreply@blogger.com
