This is how I view my life at the moment: I am a piglet, floating around clueless in space, almost as if I have not a care or responsibility in the world! Example: I asked my son what he would like for lunch on Tuesday night. He asked for a home lunch. I wrote it on his menu, highlighted, and put away his folder. Yesterday morning was crazy! Everything that could be challenging, was. After surviving the day, zooming home to fetch the children before going to Chick-Fil-A for a school fundraising night, I sat down to breathe at home. It was about 6:05. I forgot to check my son's folder, (a) because it was in the car and (b) I forgot to ask him to go back out and get it. So, this morning, I brought it inside, because we had to pick what he wanted for lunch today. I looked down to review the choices for today, when my heart skipped a beat in the sudden realization that I had FORGOTTEN to send him a lunch yesterday! What is the world?!?!?! I can't believe that I forgot what my own son needed!!! I was mortified that I failed in my parental duties. Not to mention that I probably confused his teacher to no end. I think I need a spring break. I need a moment to slow the hell down and get my head out of my a**!
I was wondering though how do some wives motivate their husbands when their jobs are crazy. I am watching my husband struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle with demands, blaming from his peers for not doing things, but he has the brains and doesn't get recognized for his hard work. He is amazing but it's like watching someone in slow motion as they fall and hit their fanny on the ground. How do you help a boy???
