Mistakes
Yesterday, as I was writing this blog about trusting my gut...my gut was wondering where my son and granddaughter were. They were usually home by then and were not. I thought about them two or three more times after that. Then my phone rang...the person on the other line was asking me where I was, and why haven't I picked up my granddaughter yet!
I could not believe I forgot! I was embarrassed. I felt bad for my granddaughter and even worse for the adults who were caring for her an hour past their time.
I ran from the house, jumped in the car and was on my way. Did I mention how awful I felt? I prayed...Dear God, please let me have 'green' lights all the way. (That would take 5 minutes off a 20 minute trip!) Can you believe it...I had green lights all the way there and most of the way back. My granddaughter and her caretakers survived and all is well.
I learned, never to forget my kids...or grandkids. I hope my son learned to communicate better!
