Again?

It happened again.  Sterling's scout group meets at 5 p.m. on Tuesdays.  To get him there, I take a short lunch so that I can leave work early.  I hardly ever go home for lunch because half the time its my turn for carpool.  Anyway, a few weeks ago I hurried home and I sat outside in the car while Ster grabbed his scout stuff - and then I hurriedly dropped him off at the church.  (Okay, so he can walk but where we were really late that day so I drove him - silly.  He could use exercise).  About 10 minutes after I got home, I noticed we had a message - it was his scout leader telling me that they had to have scouts at their house because they were making birdhouses.  A call the day before would have been nice!  I hurried back to the church to find out that the scout group before him and sent him to the scout leaders house.  I wasn't happy - couldn't they have called the night before?  After thinking about it, I realized that I'm probably the only work-outside-the-home mom and most would have gotten the message that they left at 1 pm.  I left them a note with my cell phone number on it telling them to call me if there are any changes.  Yeah, well they didn't.  Yesterday they weren't supposed to have scouts.  I got home and about 5:30 found a note on the door that they were having a pizza party/video game belt loop thingy.  I have no idea when they dropped the note off, but I sure didn't see it the night before when I took Duke out to potty.  So, once again we flew to scouts!  He missed half of it, but atleast I didn't have to make dinner =)

I know - I'm being unreasonable to ask for a little bit more notice.  I don't know why it is bothering me so much - but it is!
