Parents of the Year!

Well this morning Jalen said his tummy hurt and that he didn't want to go to school! He says that often and I always tell him he needs to go and that if his tummy keeps hurting he can tell his teacher. I always think he is just trying to get out of school. He kept laying around and saying he didn't want to go. Sean and I are saying you are going. I am saying if you don't go to school you can't play with friends or play video games or have movie and treat night. I never know when they are really sick and I hate it when my kids tell me they don't feel good to get out of church, school, etc. Well we got him ready and in the back of my head I am thinking about how a few days ago he came home from school and was saying this girl by him at lunch puked all over and he had to move his lunch so puke wouldn't get on it. He was telling me how it filled up all the squares on her lunch tray and on her cookie! Yuck! I was wondering why he brought his whole lunch home that day untouched. Anyways I am thinking that, but still making him go to school! Sean drops him off at school at 8. Then on my way to work at the daycare at about 8:05 I decided to stop by the school to make sure they have my cell phone number just in case since I wasn't going to be home. They did and so I was off to daycare. I go to daycare until about 10:40. When I was leaving I was going to run to the store. I checked my phone to make sure I didn't miss any calls and I noticed that I had no service and normally I always have service. So I turned it off and messed with it and then turned it back on. Then a minute later it beeped that I had a message. I listened to the message and it was the school calling to say Jalen had puked and was sick and they had him in the office. So I called the school to tell them I was on my way and to see how long he had been down there. The school started calling at 8:28! So they had been trying to call for 2 hours!! They called our house, my cell (that wasn't working and I didn't know) sean at work(he wasn't at his desk and missed the call) then they called my emergency contacts which are my sister and seans sister who are both at work! I seriously felt so horrible. I sent him in the first place and then they try to send him home and can't find anyone to come get him! The poor thing got sick, went to the office, then they couldn't get a hold of anyone and so they thought he was feeling a little better and they had him go back to class. Then he started to feel sick again and then went back to the office and they still can't get a hold of us. So when my sister and sister in law get off work and see they have messages from Jalens school I am sure they will be calling and I am so embarressed! Well he is home now and I am taking very good care of him because I feel so bad. So how am I going to know when he really doesn't feel good?? I am just glad he made it to the toilet so he didn't have to be "that kid". Aren't we totally the parents of the year??
