You should be patting yourself on the back as well as Jason. You taught him well and he learned it and practiced it very well. Thumbs up to you both.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094121022616242516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-86498398408866233572009-09-10T09:46:26.425-07:002009-09-10T09:46:26.425-07:00Saying you're a bad mommy is like saying it...Saying you're a bad mommy is like saying it's okay to burn the American Flag (and you know what a Patriot I am). <br /><br />With that said ... the school is another matter. I was once called to my 1st grade daughter's school to pick her up. She had fever and was sick at her stomach. I found her sitting outside by herself on the base of the flag pole where they put her ... alone. Grrrrr, I took care of that real quick!! Nuff said!!<br /><br />I can't believe anything else but that you are a great mom...... jayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550850795283855348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-27935598227706675042009-09-10T08:06:24.107-07:002009-09-10T08:06:24.107-07:00So how did my hero Jason handle it ?

Did he problem solve and figure out what he should do next?<br />Good job Erin you've raised a little guy that can think and not panic!<br />You did not find hom crying on the door step hysterical because you were not there, right?<br />Hopefully this will never happen again, and you'll do everything you can to make sure...but if I were you I'd be pretty proud of myself for being a GREAT mom.<br /><br />Happy SewingKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430521425239584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-68556798752273649312009-09-09T11:35:24.743-07:002009-09-09T11:35:24.743-07:00No way are you a bad mommy!!!

But I know that you are a thankful mommy, because God was with him, gave him the presence of mind to figure out plans A,B,C and kept him safe while he was executing. Bless his heart, and bless your heart for loving him so.....I know some parents that wouldn't even care.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082295990536140884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-64095233606243886482009-09-09T11:34:03.201-07:002009-09-09T11:34:03.201-07:00If you are a bad Mommie then my mother should be i...If you are a bad Mommie then my mother should be in jail. At 7 I walked home, let myself into the house, fixed cereal for a snack, started my homework and took out whatever had the ribbon on it in the refrigerator. I saved the cooking part for my mother, though.Bootzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664655090937726673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-605573627513590322009-09-09T10:55:33.394-07:002009-09-09T10:55:33.394-07:00You are so NOT a bad mommy!

He must get his "cool-in-a-crisis" attitude from you; your reaction was surprisingly calm during our little joke in Baltimore. ;) Congratulations to you both!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-67309141671137813602009-09-09T10:01:37.610-07:002009-09-09T10:01:37.610-07:00Okay, first and foremost, you are NOT a bad Mommy....Okay, first and foremost, you are NOT a bad Mommy. I wouldn't aspire to be more like you if you were a bad parent. Stuff happens and everything seems to have a list of what if's as long as your arm when you're a parent. Instead of "bad" Mommy, you were "lucky" Mommy that none of those what if's happened. And, what a responsible little guy he was to find a place to go where someone would watch out for him instead of just wandering in the woods, or playing with fire, or...well, you get the picture. Good for you that you held it together. Good for him that he found a place to go. You both deserve a "happy meal" LaneLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961668927812199081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-53345582779053660352009-09-09T08:05:30.969-07:002009-09-09T08:05:30.969-07:00OMG Erin - that is one of a parents' worst nig...OMG Erin - that is one of a parents' worst nightmares! I'm sure you have called the school by now and stated your case. Was it a new driver, an untrained one, what the heck was he/she thinking to let him out with no one there??? Did the 3rd neighbor not have your #, or know where you work, etc??? I can understand your still being upset! Hope today goes better!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840530854927719581noreply@blogger.com
