I can't believe it! First day of preschool for the little guy--who is also 3 today--and the major mooch (the 25 year old stepdaughter) takes off the day from work to take him and spend the day with him. Well...the teachers had her leave at around 10:30 which apparently is a shame because she neglected to return to pick him up at the end of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The teacher calls me at about 3:50 (school lets out at 3:25) and says, "Um, were you supposed to come and pick the little guy up?"

I'd been napping and was a little groggy but you better believe I was wide awake then! "No, the mom...she's not there?"

Panic. Putting myself in the place of the little one...where's mommy? where's nana? am I stuck here forever now?

OMG.

Teacher said she'd call Mega Mooch's cell number. Meanwhile I called the father just to make sure there was no misunderstanding ... and he was very upset too. "First day, first day," he kept saying...as if, she couldn't even get that right.

So I grab my coat and put on my shoes and am about to run out the door when I think to call the teacher back and see if she was able to reach MM. The teacher said, "She just walked in the door."

It was 4 freaking o'clock.
