Quote of the Week:

 I love deadlines... I especially love the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by....

From the Soul of My Shoe: Deadlines... and Missing Them
By Marissa Frusciante


Last Saturday, I thought I was winning at life... until I got to Liam's baseball game.  Let me set the tone, I have been juggling work, kids schedules, track schedule, clients' Disney schedules, and NewRo for quite some time.  SOme weeks are really great and smooth sailing, while others I find I'm on the verge of a breakdown.  

Last week, I thought I was great.  I just completed my last class for my professional high school coaching license and was riding high from all the PRs on my team the week prior.   We show up at the baseball game and I approached one of Liam's friends, who asked where we were this morning.  I looked at her and was puzzled.  "We missed you at the birthday party.  Did you get the Evite?" 

I was winning at life, there must have been a glitch.  I apologized profusely, ordered a Lego set on Amazon, and then feverously checked my email.  There it was in all its glory on March 13th - the start of track season- an Evite.  OPPS!

Well I guess I wasn't winning at life.  I felt bad that my child missed out on an opportunity to hang out with his friends.  At that moment, I had to put my mom hat on and console Liam for my mistake.  I kept going over the what ifs and why didn't I questions.  Putting all that aside, it was plain and simple a mistake.  We are just humans and have to juggle a ton of responsibilities at a time.  It's how we handle these missteps and what we learn from it that is truly important.  

We rise up from mistakes and learn from them.  I learned to check emails more carefully and try to update calendars.  

Thank you for allowing me to vent about my mom mistake!
