I Missed the Application Deadline!

I confess, I missed the application deadline for my son’s top two preferred middles schools.  How pathetic of a mother am I?  For the past 2 or 3 years (really ever since I figured out my son’s current school was not going to expand past 5th grade) I’ve been obsessing over what middle schools to apply to for my oldest son.  My husband and I met with his current school principal at the beginning of the year and we’ve been working with him to improve his grades all semester.  So at the beginning of Christmas break I registered my son to take the ICEE (entrance exam for private schools) and then crossed over to school web sites to start downloading applications only to find I’ve already missed 2 deadlines!  How could I possibly have let this happen!
