It was stupid and over something that only seemed important at the time. Just today I realized that I had never apologized to them and I planned to write each of them tomorrow. And here I find your post as a great reminder that this is EXACTLY what needs to be done. TOday you did what God directed you to do...and you redeemed yourself in the eyes of your daughter. I doubt very much that the failing grade was permanent.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493703623233516037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-74577943924688927622009-10-15T14:41:01.383-07:002009-10-15T14:41:01.383-07:00Wow, what a great story.

See if you failed, you would have driven away, not apologize and definitely no lunch and brewed about it all day long. You made me cry just reading about what an incredible mom you were for not waiting and just going to your daughter right away. You are a great mom!<br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-1526635822188457332009-10-14T08:21:48.358-07:002009-10-14T08:21:48.358-07:00You did not fail Mom 101, you went back and made a...You did not fail Mom 101, you went back and made amends w/your daughter.

There have been many car doors slammed in my face as SHE was too angry to say goodbye. I've never gone after her, she's in high school and would probably craft a voodoo doll and torture me if I walked into her school.<br /><br />I've never apologized for the issues at hand, but I've apologized for tempers. For saying words I wouldn't normally say because she is the one person that can push me to the heights of psychoticness. Rollin' those eyes, girl. She does that so often I've started to wonder if it's a facial twitch.<br /><br />But I hate those days like that when you spend the whole day feeling like Mommy Dearest. Ick.
