I screwed up my day, and I missed DD2s last ever Nursery Xmas Show

[CatBert]

I am so devestated, I burst into tears at the back of the hall when I walked in and the horrible realisation that I had gone seriously wrong somewhere dawned upon me, as all the other proud mums and pops with video recorders aplenty turned and gogged at me.

Thing is I KNEW what time it was - but somewhere along the way I had got things mixed up and I don't even know how?

I dried my tears and told her she was brilliant and I was so proud of her, and made something up about being stuck at the back and that's why she couldn't see me - but I just feel so darn crap now. I was SOOO excited about seeing her - she has been practising hard for ages, and is such a born entertainer, ARGH - I am sooooo cross with myself.

I suppose the only silver lining is that there were SO many videos going, that someone must have captured her along the way. Afterall it was the only way DH was going to see her.

Sigh. I am rambling now.

...

oh that is sad

but it is partly fixable

get hold of a video from one of the other mums and dads

you've done the right thing telling dd you saw her

oh poor you
probably nothing anyone can say that'll make you feel better, but i'm sure we've all done similar things. and yes, at least you'll get to see a video

Aw thanks... I know - it's just one of those stoopid things I will have to live with.

Just add it to the list!

Thing is - you feel like noone else would have ever done this - because how could anything else have been more important in your day? I got lots of other important things done, but actually, nothing that couldn't probably have waited another day - and now I just keep thinking "why didn't I just stay at home today?" oh - no you're right there is nothing else to say.

Just keep thinking that noone would have been watching DD because why would they? They've all come to see their own children. And I know she put her whole little three and a half years into her performance.
