I have been through the worst 2hrs of my life

jami is usually in the house at the latest 4.15pm after school. tonight she wasnt here at half 4. i started to major panic. i called the school to see if she'd been kept behind for something and all i kept getting was a blooming answer machine. by 4.45pm james dad and stepmum were out in the car looking for her and james left work early. 5pm i called the police. the worst moment of my life. i had to give a description of my daughter. omfg noone should have to do that.

james tried calling the school and got the answer machine too. he plays cricket with one of the teachers at the school so called him and he gave james the deputy heads number. he called and the deputy head who said there was a school trip to york theatre.

ive never felt such a prat. jami went to see 'blood brothers' i never wrote this on my calender, and i put everything on my calender and she didnt remind me this morning. so there i was going through what no mother should have too and shes watching a bleeding play.

the police were brilliant and i just kept apologising lol but omfg!!

Awwww Stacey!!! Atleast you can now have a giggle about it... I can only imagine the panic though!!

Awww hun, you poor thing. I bet you were beside yourself. Especially with the stuff going on at school at the mo . still she is safe and sound and you have a story to save and embarrass her with when she brings her first serious boyfriend home! lol Xx

OMG Stacey in the light of whats going on im not surprised you panicked

but i have to say i had a little giggle when i read where she was.

Never mind! at least you care where your kids are some people dont even bother

What a panic you were in and understandable but what a funny outcome

I used to have a good memory for dates, etc until recently. Now, if it's not on the calendar, I have no idea what is going on! That might be just age though

Aw hun, as I was reading I hoped that it was nothing to do with the bullying

I'm sure the police were just as relieved that she was safe as you were.

hope she enjoyed her play I'm sure she will found it highly amusing when she found out

errrr, i think you are experiencing the dreaded baby brain hun, nothing to do with age and lasts a while past the first couple of years lol Xx

OMG Stacey what a nightmare you must have been in such a panic ,i also had to laugh when you found out where she was .Forgeting things is my middle name (that is something i would do) lol.

Jami was like 'But i did tell you mum this morning' PMSL!!!!! i blame my age lolol. i feel a right numpty though

she watched 'Blood Brothers' and enjoyed it although said the end was a little too brutal for her. i didnt know 12yr olds went to see stuff like that. i would have preferred Cinderella at that age lolol

OMG what a panic for you.

Glad things turned out in the end (and Jami enjoyed blood brothers)

Oh my goodnes how scary, glad to hear that everything is ok and she enjoyed her play.

Sounds like something I would have done.

OMG! I am glad it wasn't as serious as you first thought. Did make me laugh at the end tho. As a soon to be mum I sure hope I don't make this same mistake. xxx
