The New Adventures of Old Christine 5 Days a Week (post 2)

In "The New Adventures of Old Christine,"  "Old" Christine puts up with a lot of crap from the other moms at her son, Ritchie's private school in hopes of him fitting in an making friends.  I have to say that I've been pretty lucky to have met mostly great parents in the day to day activities of my kids.  But I have been driven to my own sort of insanity because of my need to help out in someway with all the activities my kids are involved in.  This often leads to some pretty hectic schedules and more than once has left me scratching my head wonder, how exactly did I get myself into this.  Last year as I served as the PTO Treasurer, Children's Ministry Team Leader, and various lesser roles in their scouting and sports activities, I would end up with days were I didn't' even see my kids as I rushed from meeting to meeting.  Some nights the kids had to eat McDonald's in the car on our way from one activity to another.  All this left me wondering if doing this "for the kids" was really in their best interest.  Often we get wrapped up in what we THINK is best for them and forget to really take a step back and see what REALLY is best.  This year I've readjusted my commitments so that I can help out where it works out for us but still allows us to be the family we are supposed to be...TOGETHER.  We all want to do what's best for our kids but sometimes we lose site of what that really is.

The New Adventures of Old Christine 5 Days a Week

Old Christine's world is crazy! Not only does she have to deal with her ex-husband Richard (who's still very much in her life, inspite of the fact he has new girlfriend also named Christine), but she also lives with her brother Matthew while raising her son Richie as a single mom. On top of that, she owns a gym with her best friend Barb, frequently goes on dates, and has to deal with the "meanie-moms" at her son's private school? Some how, though, Christine manages to juggle it all!

Although, I'm obviously not divorced and i have no one living with me that I'm not either married to or birthed, I feel totally connected with Old Christine.   As a full time working mom who also tries to be involved at the boys school, in church, their sports teams and Scouts I constantly feel like I should have been a circus juggler.  But like Christine, I don't always juggle it perfectly.  Sometimes I stumble

and let something fall.  And sometimes friends or family have to catch something on the fly to save my butt.

I often arrive to meetings only to realize I have forgotten something I needed, or even birthday parties...without the present!  (I think that was just once, but it DID happen.)


And just this morning, apparently I neglected to clearly tell my husband where he was heading with Bryan for their first park district class.   When he called me to tell me there was no class this week, it still took us a couple minutes to realize he had tried to go to the completely wrong place.   So while I DO feel like I juggle a TON, you won't find me juggling and sharp swords because I clearly let things drop a lot!
