You know those women who think they can and need to do everything. I used to ridicule them mercilessly. Now, when I look at my calendar I realize I am one of them. PTA, Reading intervention, Dance and fitness classes. I get the kids to soccer, piano, dance, karate, tumbling, and church activities. I don't miss games, or performances. I still think my house needs to be cleaned daily, the clothes need to be washed and hot meals need to be on the table every night for everyone to sit down to. I just realized this isn't working. I don't have anytime to unwind. I get so tense nobody wants to be around me. If my family doesn't want to be with me, what is the use of everything else I fit into my life?
Next year.... No PTA President, Less time with reading at the school, less activities for the kids. More time with the kids & hubby, just unwinding. Katherine will be 12 soon, only 6 more years until she leaves home. I really can't afford to waste any more time with stuff that just doesn't count. I guess I will still clean, cook and wash.
