My, those stirrups look good on you!
Nothing makes a Mommy feel classy and collected like visiting your OBGYN (who I ADORE, by the way) for your annual appointment with your kids in tow.
All you can do is smile, keep your arm stretched firmly in place to keep them from wandering south and mutter, ‘just making sure Mommy is ok’, when your four year old looks warily towards the end of the table and mumbles, “Mommy, what is she doing to you?”
Let’s be clear - it all started because, well, I am a moron. And I mean a big one.
Last week was Spring Break. So, naturally, I assumed today would be the day to return to school. I even believed this as friends told me their kids were off. I assumed and believed WRONG. However, the enlightening ‘there is no school today moment’ did not happen as I packed a lunch box, weaseled Coop’s feet into his shoes, or grabbed the backpack to head out the door.
My you-have-got-to-be-flippin’-kidding-me-moment came as I approached the school and there were NO cars in the parking lot - save for the one lone Yukon pulling out. (I’m not alone!) And yet, I circled the school, just to be sure.
I then sat in the parking lot to Twitter about it - certain there would be another mother who understood - or at least someone who could make me laugh about it. I also posted my faux pas on Facebook - I figured my friends could use the Monday Morning laugh.
And, yes, they laughed.
And, I proceeded to my appointment. God love my doctor for letting the kids come back with me - and for being so darn quick at the whole miserable thing.
The good news is - the kids do not seem to be scarred by today’s episode. At least they haven’t mentioned anything since we left the office. Of course, that really means nothing. My daughter could decide to reminisce about “Mommy laying on that table with no pants on” at our next neighborhood BBQ.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
Stop laughing.
Clearly, I am scarred.

I want to laugh at you. I want to SO BADLY. However, I’m laughing with you. Because the same scenario has happened to me. The “kids are out of school but I didn’t know that” and the “let’s have a field trip to the OBGYN with mommy” scenarios. But fortunately, not on the same day. I’m pretty sure I would be in bed sucking my thumb if it did.
So bravo on your persistence and dedication to life in general. It must be some of the Disney magic still in you.
I can honestly say the Disney magic is starting to wear off (it was FANTASTIC) I think the combo of no naps, up late, up early, bad eating, overstimulation and then, of course, the wonder of today has me a little wacky
Happy to know I am not alone!
Oh wow, that’s just bad news heaped upon bad news! I did the OB visit with my toddler in tow, but luckily it was all above the belt!
Ack. Tomorrow will be way, way better!
I’ve had one of those moments when my son was younger … on a very slow jam packed elevator that had just left the 9th floor. LOL
OK, this could totally be me on many occasions. These are the times I blame it on the school - seriously, who runs a schedule like this? geeze.
Okay u are not alone. Certainly that would be a KAY mistake. I love that u Twittered and facebooked about it. Goodluck at that next neighboorhood BBQ!
