bad mom of the year

Today I think I got the bad mom of the year award my kids had half day of school and I totally forgot so i had just gotten off the phone with Robert and he told me his brother was coming over then i here the door bell ringing off the hook and some pounding on the door so I was thinking wow his brother is being a jerk I have to give him a peace of my mind I opened the door and there stood my kids Daphne and Zeph red faces out of breath looking so sad then they told me i had forget then (and i did)So not Zeph is asking for a cell phone (for time like these)Its not like I forget every day just this day,I wanted them to start walking home but I am that kind of mom that I just cant do it.I am so thankful they got home safe and sound but I am still having guilt feeling bad mother syndrome.
