since when did I become so jumpy?
mommy thoughts March 17th, 2008I got a call from my Pristine’s school this afternoon while my eyes were fixed in the computer screen at work. When the phone rang, I thought it was work related but the lady on the other end of the line said, “Hello, this is xxx of yyyy International School. Is this Pristine’s mother?”.
Don’t you just freak out at the sound of that?
Several thoughts came running through my mind and I bombarded the lady with questions before she could even explain what she called about. Thank God, it was just about a slight change in her bus schedule!
Is it just me? My heart always skip a beat when my daughter’s school calls. Someone tell me this is normal.

This is SO normal. I had a phone call from Quintus’s school 2 years ago after he fell and split open his head. I made it to the school in split seconds I’m sure. Can’t even remember how I managed to get in the car and there.

Of course it’s normal. When I get a call from Maya’s school they actually start off by saying “this is so and so from XXX preschool - everything is fine”. Definitely helps with the jitters.

I’m so with you. Very jittery about phone calls that are out of the norm.
