Today

Today is one of those days that happens about once a week.  It's a day that I feel completely overwhelmed.  I don't know where to begin...I can't see any means to the end.  I'm going to a board meeting for an assignment (I got a heads up that this would be a quick one because of the bond levy), it's still a terrible night for me to have to stay late.  The work on my desk is piling up, homework galore from my classes, my son has a wrestling thing Wednesday night AND all day Saturday.  Did I mention I HATE wrestling?  I have a problem with yelling, screaming parents that have veins popping out of their necks.  I have decided as a parent, that I do not have to go to every single function under the sun.  I think I'm setting a great example by staying home and doing my homework; he's 14 and knows that I'm back in school to finish what I started so long ago.  My husband is really good for that kind of sports stuff, anyways.  I think he's the one that misses me being there more than Koby does.  He feels that he has to go to everything under the sun and sometimes makes me feel like I'm being "not the best mom" because I don't think I need to be there every time.  I guess part of it is how he was raised; no family support, he got himself to and from any practices or games he may have had when he was involved in sports.  He doesn't think about the fact that I'm involved in everything else...just not always the sports stuff.  It's not that I don't think it's important, I just really have to pick and choose right now.  Plus, like I said, I do not like wrestling.  Football is good.  I am still overwhelmed.
