Out of Hiding

I have not blogged in so very long. As I always say, life gets in the way. I am on Facebook and I have my blog link on there. I have a lot of FB friends who have read my blogs and my FB postings most recently and have told me I have a gift. I am sure I do :) So here I am.
Life has gotten in the way ....my daughters both started new schools. One just started preschool in Sept. and the other Kindergarten. I have been so engrossed in their lives, I have let mine slip away. I can't believe how stressed I have been and I have been hearing the same thing from friends at school.
Then I take on playdates, I accept every invite I receive for moms nights, or parties, I take on volunteer responsibilities. Right now I am volunteering for our schools auction. I have worked very hard to ensure that I do my job well and efficiently. I came home from my daughters soccer party. the day was already too long. But I had to work on my spreadsheet. I ask a few simple questions to the chair of the auction and all I get is rudeness. Women can never just get a long and be kind. It is ridiculous. What are we competing for? To see who can make the others life more complicated and add to our list of worries? I thought for a bit that I should take the high road, but I realized, that if this person was not called on it, the behavior would continue to repeat itself. (I have heard from many others that this woman can be very hurtful). I sent the email to her asking her to stop the rudeness. She never responded. I guess she thought she was taking the high road...but I thought she needed to apologize.
