AW: Help calm me down please

[lunalovegood]

I just got a recorded message from my kids' school that someone is absent without an excuse.  Cue momma freak out and I call the school back right away.  My oldest DS is was marked absent.  But I dropped him off for school partol this morning.  The office tried to call the classroom to see what is going on, but no one answered so she is going down there and will call me back.  So now I am sitting her waiting for her.

Oh no! Hoping it was a mistake!

[kemdupuis]

Hoping everything is ok! That's got to be the worst feeling in the world! Keep us posted

[wormgerm]

Hope everything is ok and it was just a little mix up. Deep breaths!

[lunalovegood]

Thanks ladies. DS is in school, but the little stinker decided to leave his classroom and go to the library before attendance was taken. I guess I will be getting an email from his teacher sometime today with more details. My heart is still racing.

[alayne926]

Glad he's there and just being sneaky. Hopefully you can calm down quickly. (((HUGS)))

I swear, Mr. Pre-teen I can do whatever I want attitude is going to drive me crazy. Although we have a restitution policy at our house, so I am pretty sure I will get a sparkling clean bathroom out of this little stunt.

So happy that everything is okay!!!

[noeliav]

So glad he was found!

[veggiemo]

Not looking forward to these years. So glad he's ok!

ETA: I should say not looking forward to these parenting moments, not years.

Oh my gosh, what a relief, I am so sorry, I would have been freaking out too!

[laurenlou83]

[lunalovegood]

You ladies are all so wonderful, thank you so much. Now I'm crying at my desk, damn pregnancy emotions mixed with total relief making me look like I've lost it. Good thing my boss went to lunch already.

[sully326]

Glad he was alright! I would've freaked out too!

[erbear]

Glad he was alright!

[bruunk]

Wow - that's quite the morning! I'm glad everything turned out ok - and YIPEE to sparkling clean bathrooms

[bendherova]

I'm glad everything turned out ok!!

[maddib]

Oh that is so scary!!! There was one time I had to pee really bad and couldn't hold it (this month) so I ran to the bathroom thinking I had enough time before the bus got there. Nope he was gone am I started freaking out crying. Even though he waits inside our front door before he sees the bus I still called the school to make sure he had gotten there ok. They told me I had to wait thirty min because they were still getting off the bus and they wouldn't know until he got to his classroom. Worst 30 min of my life!! I was a balling mess thinking about everything that could have happened. It didn't help that a few days before the school sent out a message that a couple young girls had been approached by a creepy middle aged man in a van trying to give them a ride. Obviously all went well but since then I pee before I know the bus could show up.

How scary. So relieved everything everything was alright. Kids will continuously scare you and I believe that's why I have so many gray hairs.

[Bluedaisy]

Yikes! I hate it when stuff like that happens, I'm glad he's fine.

[ombradellarosa]

On the bright side, he went to the library! Is there a better place for a kid to sneak off to?
