That's me, an idiot. I feel stupid! I made a terrible error to the person who gave birth to me and I do not know how I will ever make it up to her.
The terrible error included, "FORGETTING HER BIRTHDAY."
It makes me want to hide in shame just writing it, "Oh my, what have I done?" We have our differences, but we are fairly close and she helps us out with the kids alot.
Yesterday my mom tried to call me and I was too busy to call her back until I was on my way to pick up the kids. Stupidly, once gain, I was running late and had to call my daycare provider to tell her , SO the last thing I said to my mom was, "I'm running late, gotta go!" This in the midst of her bearing her soul about HER bad day at work. After I said that, she just said, "Oh OK." She was probably thinking- "DAMN KID forgot my birthday!" And who knows, she may have ended up in tears!
How do I ever make it up to her? She is coming over tonight, because once again, she is watching our kids tomarrow. Please help?

what was the outcome?
My thought was to buy "Chinese take-out". But she bought it for herself yesterday, on her actual birthday. We got flowers for her last weekend-so that idea of ass-kissing was a little bit out too.
When I talked to her on the phone, I said sorry, and she said, "I hate when people do that on my birthday!" I said "What?" She said, "I was referring to my boss, pissing me off yesterday!" I said "Oh...ya...that is right." And in my best social work response I said, "That is too bad, was your day today better?"
It was apparently, no boss at work today for her.
So I was armed with no fantastic ideas, no flowers, or take-out; just my charm, which is a stretch!
The second my mom came in the door, Kelsey turned on the charm and said, "Happy birthday Grandma!"
And in the end, all is ok, but I will never forget it again, by golly! Maybe a Cold Stone Creamery cake is in our near future.
Stone Cold Creamery Cake sounds very delicious.
oh, mom's are good at forgiving.. it will be okay!
