This was a Doozie all right

I'm the cute blond in the story.
I have had a crazy week.
from the kids begging to stay home from school each day
and I have given in twice.
Mimi not being able to find a thing to wear each morning
the poor dear!!
AND
we are working on orders.
So yesterday was my poor Mom's birthday
and I missed it. I talked to her all day
and my Dad finally said could you
wish your Mother a
Happy Birthday!

Hence the constant Donkey references
have any of you done this?
I feel terrible.
I would have thrown a lean meat and salad
party!
(she is on the diet with me)



But she spent it on the beach alone with Pop's.
She is coming up today so we will make it up to her!
I may never live this one down....
Happy Belated Birthday
BON BON !!!!!!

    that is so humiliating...a friend is one thing...but the parental....oooh boy I feel bad for you. I have done that to my kid!

    I feel for you because it makes you feel like such a donkey?...

    oh boy I am afraid you will not live it down, You will just have to celelbrate everyday!

    I am going to send your dear mum a hug through the airwaves up north for her **hugs****.

    ** happy birhtday mum***

    I think it was better you were talking to her that day for no other reason than shes your mom, rather than because it was her birthday....thats what makes a true mom and daughter relationship. Tell her she can be your Queen and have another birthday in the summer, just like our Queen has two birthdays, the real one and the state one.

    Oh Dear, I really feel for you! I made this mistake once, on my parents Wedding Anniversary! Chatting away to my mom and it wasn't until I spoke to my sister and she mentioned it! I felt sooo bad for forgetting, mom was fine about it though!
    I'm sure you'll make it up to her!

    You probably feel worse about this than she does. I always mention that my birthday is coming up so there is no fear of it being forgotten.

    I like what Amanda said, that at least you talked to her off and on that day, just because you're a good daughter and you and her have a good relationship. That isn't going to change. I'm sure she understands. I love that last picture - wow!! Diane

    That's really funny especially with the photos. I'm sure she just thought it was funny really, I would have. She knows what you would have done if you had remembered, she'll forgive you. At least your mum knows how much you love her, you are just so busy at the moment.

    Oh my lovely, my mother has Alzheimer's so i think about her ALL the time. I can't forget her birthday, would set a terrible example to her!! I've done it to my sister though, all the time & she NEVER forgets!!
    The donkeys are cute, heehaw.
    All i can say about dressing children for school is in Australia we have uniforms & i am forever grateful that my fashionistas have a set uniform to wear every day!! Ah, love Posie
