Epic Mom Fail

So I am feeling a bit like a failure this evening, this week just didn't go as I envisioned.

Jesse is turning 2 tomorrow and today was supposed to have been his party at creche I had the cake and party goodies all planned out everything was going to be perfect and then the creche owner went and closed the creche letting us know on Monday and said I must just rearrange everything for Wednesday baring in mind I only got paid yesterday and baring in mind I had discussed the party with her at the end of last week with no mention of the creche closing, the teachers also weren't aware, so ya that was fail no 1 because the cake couldn't be made on time and I couldn't get everything I needed to as I hadn't been paid, we did mange to pull something small together and Jesse's teachers went and got him a huge cupcake and candle so he had a ball but I was just really cheesed as I had taken leave for today specifically to be there and so my mil could be there, I think it was incredibly selfish but apparently I am in the wrong because it was on a notice that was taken down months ago already and most of the things on said notice have changed several times and like I said I did discuss it with the owner last week but ya I was in the wrong....

That aside after searching everywhere me managed to find the gift we wanted for Jess at the price we could afford and because I was in such a rush whilst buying it I just grabbed a roll of wrapping I liked and paid , only this evening whilst wrapping did I realize the wrapping wasn't near big enough so guess what Jesse's gift had to be wrapped in... the only other thing I could find at this hour and that was pink tissue paper... failure number 2 oh and then I ran out of tape and had to scrounge up some ribbon.... not my finest mom moment, I know Jesse wont care but I do so not feeling at my mommy best this evening.

We are just having a small cake and tea tomorrow with the cake I ordered (O will post pics for sure), and I'm sure Jesse is going to love it as it is Curious George his absolute favorite, hopefully that makes up for everything else.....

  3. No mom fails. Just circumstances working against you. But you rose above it and made other plans.

  4. Thank you ladies I think as a mom you just want everything to be perfect and then one thing after another happens and it all seems to come tumbling down, my little one loved his party and his birthday in the end =)
