Today, was Macie's last day of preschool. (Well, technically, yesterday was supposed to be her last day!)
You may recall, that I have mentioned, how much I love summer. I look forward to the lazy days, and spending time with my children. Well, it seems, I decided to go on a "vacation", a little earlier than planned!
The kids and I, had lunch with friends yesterday. It was about 1pm, and one of my friend's daughter, begins singing a "Bumblebee" song. Well, as soon as she started singing, Gabi, and I look at one another in shock! I realized that Macie, missed her last day of preschool! More importantly, her end of the year picnic, and singalong! I could not believe that I forgot about this special day! This was Macie's last day of preschool, ever! I was so distraught over this the entire day. As I am writing this, even more so. I do not pretend to be a perfect Mother, because I am not. I just try, and be the best Mom for my kids. However, I am so upset with myself! Macie, (I know is only five), but she was not sad. She kept telling me, that it was okay. We could still say goodbye to her teacher, on the next day. So we went today, and Macie took her teacher these:
Of course, I walked in with my head down, so embarrassed about it all! They understood, and were happy to see her. They invited her to be a part of today's singalong! Macie was happy,her teacher was happy, and I am slowly getting there!
Macie saying goodbye to her teacher, Mrs. Duval. I loved her teacher, because she was so patient, creative, nurturing, and loving! We will miss her, and the preschool. It was an amazing experience for all of my children. (I also met one of my very best friends, here at this school.)
Well, now we are "officially" on summer vacation! I do not believe anyone else will be missing an event, anytime soon! LOL To make certain of this, I ordered myself one of these! I have always used this planner. However, in the past few months, I have tried to get "rid" of paper, and rely solely on my phone. (Obviously, this did not work!) I had Macie's picnic entered into my phone, with two alerts scheduled. However, this does not work if the sound is turned off! LOL (My kids are always borrowing my phone for games, so I am always reminding them to turn down the volume.) I am a visual learner, so I am going back to my Momagenda!
Something else that I have recently purchased, were this yummy rolls of ribbon:
They are by Amercian Crafts, and are sold by the yard!! I did have a few colors on hand ,but was so happy to see the other colors! These just make me happy, and I cannot wait to use them on a project! They were a little on the expensive side, so I will have to hide them from the girls! (They love creating with my ribbon, or using them for their hair!) I found this ribbon at Timeless Treasures, so hurry on in, before they are all gone!
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Enjoy the afternoon my friends!

Awww sweetie! I would be upset about missing her last day too BUT we are human so give yourself a much deserved break. And I gave up my planner in favor of my iphone too but make a habit to start the day to review what's going on PLUS the reminders. And yes I still forget things. That's great that she got to be included the next day at school--sounds like a great teacher! And lucky you to have that yummy ribbon!! Have fun with it!! {{HUGS}}
