Just Waiting For The Call...

They should be calling anytime now.  I'm just patiently waiting for the phone to start ringing.  I've been busily preparing what to say as soon as they call.  I see the phone call going something like this:

Me-"Hello."
Them-"This is _____________ from the Mother Of The Year Award Nominating Committee and we've been trying to get a hold of you all day."
Me-"Oh, yes, I've been expecting you to call." (all while doing an awkward nervous giggle)
Them-"I understand you had a special "Mommy Moment" this morning...is that correct?"
Me-"Yep, sure did."
Them-"Can you tell me about it? "
Me-"Well, it just so happened that in our rush to get out the door this morning, I failed to notice that the world's cutest almost-two-year-old only had one shoe on."
Them-"Oh, I see.  And when did you happen to notice that this young man was only wearing one shoe?"
Me-"Well, as I was carefully driving to daycare, I had no idea, so therefore, I didn't notice until I opened the back door in order to get my son out of the van."
Them-"And what exactly happened next?"
Me-"I ripped my van apart all while praying that we hadn't possibly left one shoe at home."
Them-"And then?"
Me-"We went in and explained to Ms. Betsy that we came to daycare with only ONE SHOE ON!
Them-"Congratulations, you've been awarded Mother Of The Year."

Yep.  That was our morning.  Thank goodness Ms. Betsy loves us and she just laughed.  My poor boy was the shoeless wonder at daycare today. 

Oh.  And I ran over a frog on my way to work, too.
