That kind of day

Thursday was one of those days that every thing was off. I forgot my lunch, one tire had a slow leak and needed air, I kept logging out of my computer at work and screwing up the program. I would say 4 months when I meant six and made several appointments wrong. A patient named Barbara needed follow up and I wrote my last name instead of hers twice on the appointment card. Then I went to pick up Alex. I pulled up in front of daycare and hit the flag on the plastic crossing guard guy, just like this one. I thought, no big deal it was just the flag and kept going. Then I heard, thumpa thumpa boom bang. The little guy had fallen over and I had run over the front support and squashed it. I jumped out of the car and quickly stood him back up, he looked alright and could still stand. Alex's teacher was just coming out of the building and saw the whole thing. I was so embarrassed. She was laughing and told me it was ok, just to let the director know. Oh and by the way, Alex had a terrible day. He had 3 timeouts for forcibly taking toys from other kids. He was also sent to the office, the ultimate punishment, for pushing "friends" down and then jumping on them. Maybe he's been watching football too closely? When we got into the car to leave I told Alex that it made me very sad when he misbehaved at school. He looked at me, spread his arms out and said, "Ohhhh no, hugs, kisses, mumma feel better!" I did.
