Lack of Communication!

I am an emotional person! I always have been and always will be! With that said let me explain why I am completely crushed right now. Today Ashley had a Share a Story with the class presentation. She worked so hard on making stick puppets and writing a story. She practiced over and over and over again until she had it down perfect. She kept saying to me that she needed me there. And I promised her repeatedly that I would be there! I even sent a note to her teacher leaving my CELL phone number asking her to call me and tell me what time she would like me to come. I left for the gym and my entire workout I clutched my phone in my hand! No phone call! When I got home I saw that the school called, on my HOME phone, but there was no message. At 1:30 I decided to call the school and ask her directly. The office put me on hold and then quickly responded back that Ashley had already done it by herself earlier this afternoon! I was so sad that I had missed this moment, and not because it was a great blogging moment, but it was a moment that Ashley had counted on me to be there for her! I am so upset because I know she was crushed that I was not there and she won't understand that her teacher never told me what time! I really am emotional and I am not sure why I get like this, but I try so hard to be there for my kids and when my efforts fail, I feel like a failure in some way! Wow! Sorry about the whining! I am even more sorry that I have no pictures of my dear sweet Ashley reading her story for her class! Better luck next time!!!!
