st pat's day today. i forgot. panic sets in at 6am. green...i hate green, i have nothing green for brody. now i know he won't actually be pinched, selfishly though i don't want to be the jackass mom that takes her kid to school in the wrong color. grab the gap bag full of new clothes that i have yet to actually remove from the bag...dig dig dig...thank god, there is a tee with a green dinosaur. whew.
refuses to wear the dinosaur tee. it's scary. not wearing it. we go to school in red. he's the only kid in red. of course he is, all the other mommies remembered.
at this point, i realize all the other mommies also have treats in tow...green kids and treats. panic sets in again at 8am. stupid question, is the party today? yes, 3pm. shit.
get to hallmark and thankfully the cafe has made st pat's cookies for mommies like me...grab some cookies and green balloons and make my way back to school. sneak in the classroom trying to not be seen...plan is to drop off and run.
instead i hear...'brody's mommy, are those latex balloons?'... then comes the pitter patter of 16 children running my way...BALLOONS, BALLOONS, MOMMY, MOMMY!...and finally 'brody's mommy, we can't have latex balloons in here'.
walk out the door (balloons & i) leaving behind 16 bawling children. 15 screaming for balloons, 1 screaming for his mommy.
next year, i will remember st pat's day.
