on my way to parent teacher conferences in our rural area.... i get a phone call from daycare
"you do know the kids are still here??? they were not picked up for visitation" - daycare director
"oh... my... no... i didn't - i will call my husband and he'll be there as soon as possible - i am so sorry" - me
"we realize now you must not have known... you never leave the kids this late" - understanding director...
---- deep breaths - frantic call to husband - who frantically leaves to get two confused babies -----
---- more deep breaths --- call to case worker
"i just want to make sure you are aware we had no idea kids didn't have visitation today" - me
"oh, ms. xxx (transporter) told me she told you when she talked to you about the weekend visit" - caseworker
"weekend visit?!?!" - me
"oh, um, you didn't know???"
and that's how i found out that the babies started their weekend long visits - it didn't start w/ a one night sleepover like we anticipated - but a full blown weekend...
babies picked up from school at 2 on friday - back to our house on Sunday at 2... 48 hours without my sweet babies... with less than 24 hours notice... no time to pack them - to prepare my heart or my son's.
and suckage ontop of suckage - i hadn't even gotten to put them to bed that night...
oh yeah - and talking to transporter - she swears she NEVER told the caseworker she told me about the visit....
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
