Today marks a new chapter in my life, as well as the “fall semester” of
craziness that normally ensues. I’ve said before, mainly in my bio, that I have
3 children. Well, fall SOCCER dominates around here. My son plays varsity
soccer T-TH-SUN. My daughter is a gymnast and practices M-F-SAT. This leaves
Wednesday night as the only NIGHT free.
I don’t really mind as I LOVE watching my son play soccer. (Yes, Ellis
was a soccer player like my son! And Ellis’ “broken leg experience” in JOCK was exactly how
it happened to my son. Lol, but not.) But driving everywhere like a taxi driver
can be exhausting.
During the day, I am now in school MON & WED. I leave as SOON as my
youngest gets on the bus. (I have children in High school, Middle school, AND
Elementary!) Tuesday mornings have been designated for those errands that need
to happen every other week, every 8 weeks, or whatever like Getting my hair
done (tomorrow), getting my nails done (because I want to look classy at GRL),
and getting a massage (because I am perpetually tense and need them).
Thursday’s I will be able to write between 9-3, and Fridays 9-3. Unless of
course I plan a lunch date! Saturdays are pretty much taken by sports,
camp-outs, and other family events. Sundays I go to church and my son plays
soccer. I have a full schedule.
I used to complain more about all the stuff I did when Gymnastics
decided it had to have like a thousand fundraisers and wanted to suck up all my
time. I don’t have the time. But though complaining I found that most other
moms have the same deal. We multitask, have jobs, and make all the other stuff
“fit” somehow. I can’t complain, because I am just like every other mom.
Mothers do it all!!! Maybe that is why I am a little “off” in the head. I’m
slightly insane so I can handle the demands.
I don’t know.
One thing is for sure, this school year will have to be organized and
scheduled, or there will never be clean clothes nor will there be food in the
house, and dinner might be served at 9:30pm.
I WILL be online when I can. Luckily I can access most things from my
phone. And I can Tweet from my phone. I can FB message from my phone. I just
can’t write from my phone.
Writing will have to be very disciplined or it will not happen. So,
fingers crossed, the next phase of life begins: Me, as an organized person! Note: This is probably the most girly-sounding blog I have ever written. Hopefully it is not too much of me sounding like a whiny, over-commited MOM, but I will get back to writing related blogs at some point. Unless you like my bitching over life, and the details of my everyday events ;p
Over and out,
Wade
By all means, follow me on Twitter, "follow" my BLOG, "like" me on Facebook, add me to your "circles" on Google+, check out my pins on Pinterest, review my books on Goodreads and Amazon, become a “FAN” on Goodreads.com; and check out my webpage often for changes. And spread the name
of Wade Kelly like wildfire. *winks*
I think if you did an unofficial survey, you'd find that most of us who are moms (and some really committed dads like Jacob & Bruce) are in the same boat. Too much to do in too little time. We have a love/hate relationship with our kids' sports. By the end of the season, it's more hate than love, but you know. Write when you can or when muse forces you because what free time we do have is spent reading!
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes! I learned that this past year. I really can't complain because every other mom is doing the same thing. I am maturing, I hope. And I will write! I gotta keep those readers reading!!
