you're dead to me, more dead than your dead mother

I am a dirtbag mother today. I blew it. So the movers come tomorrow, and the faveros are in town and Aaron came home yesterday for Father's Day but left this morning for CA. So its a bit busy right now. Still no excuse. Of course, Lauren lost a tooth last Friday. Not just any tooth, her first tooth. I made her wait for Aaron to get home before she put it under her pillow. So last night, she neatly tucked her tiny tooth under the pillow and went to sleep. Her first experience with the tooth fairy and I blew it. Aaron and I were so consumed with moving BS that I forgot. Lauren was so broken hearted this morning. She thought the tooth fairy didn't like her tooth. Aaron and I felt like scum bags. So we tried to come up with a bunch of reasons why the fairy might have missed the tooth. Tonight, I had Lauren write a note and tape her tooth to it. I got her to believe that her tooth was so small that it got lost under her pillow and the tooth fairy just couldn't find it. It seems to be working. I'm still a dirt bag.
