Knowing what’s important
This will probably be a short post because I have a meeting in about 3 minutes but I wanted to write this before the day got too busy.
Last night my hubby had a class so it was just me and the 2 boys. The boys had haircuts later in the evening so we had a lot to do in the 2 hours or so between the time we got home and the time we had to leave again. I was feeding Kyle and my older son, who is all of 5 years old, told me to relax and that he would take care of getting supper ready. Whenever it’s just me and the boys I tell Justin that it’s our date night so he said since it’s our date that he would take care of everything and that I could enjoy a night away from the kitchen. This put everything into perspective. It has been a hellish week at school dealing with other peoples’ children but his sweetness made me realize that I need to let go of the few yahoos that I have to deal with at school because they go home and call someone else “Mom”. Most of the kids are good, anyway, and the ones that aren’t are no longer my problem in 7 days.
Anyway, after his sweetness I almost literally felt the rush of stress and anger that has been pent up inside of me for the last few days leave my body. I don’t know how long this feeling will last, but I’m going to try to remember it throughout today so that if one of the kids here at school is an idiot that I can get through it without letting it bother me.
