Balance...

Something I believe in and need to find.

Yesterday, I had a moment. Was going through my emails and saw an email from my sons' Scoutmaster regarding a scouting activity scheduled for Tuesday (yesterday). I read it and was so upset. Why? I seriously thought it was Wednesday. Just laughed as I saw my previous post - Wednesday Workout Tip and was reminded of my 'moment'. I thought my son missed the activity. It bothered me so much because I had emailed the Scoutmaster telling him my son would be there. I had done the same thing awhile back and thinking my son was responsible to remember, I didn't follow up with him. Well, he didn't go. So here we were again, I confirmed he would make it and then he didn't. I thought he didn't because like I said, I really thought it was Wednesday. I thought the night before (Monday) was Tuesday. I was upset that my son didn't go to the activity and went to the library instead. I quickly sent out an email to the Scoutmaster apologizing for him missing the activity. Next I called my son to see why he didn't go to the activity. I was pretty upset. My son then reminded me, "mom, today is Tuesday, the activity is tonight". A little embarrassed, I told him, "well, you better make sure you go tonight". I then sent out another email to the Scoutmaster apologizing for the mishap.

When I logged in today, I saw my Wednesday Workout Tip and had to laugh because I am reminded how off I am. It also made me think, do I have too much going on right now? I think it didn't help I barely slept last night. I think I fell asleep close to 1 am. Then I got up around 4:45 am to teach my early morning Zumba class. I came home and within a minute, lost my keys. Panicked (spelling?) because it was my turn to drive the jr. high kids to school. Luckily found it in time, but that just threw things off. After I got them off to school, I had to get my elementary school kids off. Did that and was so tempted to come home and jump back into bed. Instead decided it's probably best to get ready for work since I've been slacking on the time I get in.

I don't feel stressed or overwhelmed...not yet. I want to believe it was just yesterday only. Now if it continues, maybe I better think things over. The joys of being a mom, a working mom. Happy Wednesday...and it really is today!
