I just had to share this because I think it's funny even though it really isn't. This is one of many reasons why I am going to get myself checked out. I sure everyone can relate. :D
The past couple days it has been on my mind that today at 2:00 I was expecting a phone call from pedicatric behavioral health to get my 7-yr-old son into counseling for behavior modification for his ADHD. My mom has OCD and has totally been riding me about him lately which is one of many reasons why I am finally doing something. She obsesses and worries and drives me insane in the process. So I've been telling and telling her for 2 days that today at 2:00 I was expecting a call. I even told her again (for the millionth time) when I talked to her this morning!
2:00 rolls around and the phone rings. A lady asked for me and I said I wasn't home! Let me back up for a second. I don't currently have caller ID on my phone and will customarily say that I am not home and take a message if I don't know who it is or am not expecting a call from a stranger. I may or may not take down a name and number. Most of the time I just pretend to, which I am aware is totally ridiculous and irresponsible. :D Today was one of those days where I did not write down a name or number.
I spent like 10 minutes picking at my brain trying to figure out who from "Strong" would be calling me. Then it hit me that it was the lady calling for my son! :eek: I didn't even have the general number for pediatric behavioral health because I lost it. I wrote it down the other day but who knows what I did with it by now. :D So I called the general number and got the pediatric number and then explained to the receptionist that this lady called but I didn't take down a name or number. Luckily I remembered her last name and he transferred me right to her.
Then I had to explain to the lady that I forgot she was going to call but did not bother to explain why I said I wasn't home when I answered. I am thankful that she did the phone intake anyway! It would've been a disaster if she didn't. I felt so ridiculous, though! How could something that's been on my mind for 2 days just slip into oblivion at the most crucial moment? I frequently forget crucial things like that, which drives my husband and my mother insane. I don't know... I think a lot of people would forget they were expecting a call, though. I am probably making a mountain out of a mole hill.
