So I must share the fact that I am the officially the new President of the Bad Mommy Club..... The story begins sometime this past summer. On a family outing to a state park, I borrowed my daughters back pack to carry all of our "stuff". I should mention at this point that I am a smoker. I don't like to leave butts behind, so I tucked them into the side pocket of the backpack... and never thought of them again. I washed said backpack before the start of school... filled it with new folders, pencils and a compass, and sent my oldest daughter off to her first day of Middle School.
Fast forward to last Friday.... I was walking out the door when the phone rang. for some reason I turned around and answered it. I heard "Hello, this is Mr. M at the middle school, I just wanted to let you know we had the drug sniffing dogs in today" I thought, well isn't that nice that they call the parents when that happens. He then proceeds to tell me that one of the dogs scratched on my daughters locker. I at this point begin to think I am being Punk'd. My daughter is a straight A student who has never seen the inside of the principals office. Then he said that the dogs sniffed out tobacco. The light bulb went off! I explained what happened, and after a few questions, everything was cleared up, except for my sobbing daughter, who had to then face her peers, even though she escaped the three day suspension. I then, using classic bad mommy tactics, bought forgiveness with a pedicure, and Chinese food. :)
A little about ME:

I'm not the kind of girl your parents warned you about:
TRUST ME they never even saw me coming!
