Oh My! Where Do I Start?

Sorry. I've made a committment to try and keep my blogs up on a regularly basis. I don't believe in editing content as the idea is to post your thoughts for that day. Anyway, here's a blog I did that I accidentally left in the drafts folder. Outside of the timing, it still applies :(
Here it is below:

========================================
Well, so much is going on and I don't know where to start. Yes I realize it's 2:00 in the morning and I should be in bed so my body can rejuvenate and rest. I just can't.



I'm feeling so much emotion today. I've also been so busy with the Ballroom Blitz Organization, trying to plan a vacation (that quite honestly I don't even feel like going on with all the stress and chaos it seems to be causing), working, socializing/networking (aka "Twittering"/Facebook), Emails etc. Wow!



In the midst of all that business and life, some sad news of what I experienced for the first time in my life today. My eldest son has been working so hard (since September) for Rep Soccer. Has anyone done this and signed up their children for this? Honestly? What a MISERABLE experience. I never, ever, ever want to see the look of disappointment and tears in my child's eyes again.

I know that people said motherhood can have a lot of joys and challenges. When they're younger we're able to help them by kissing their little boo-boos, wipe their tears and give them ice cream so they can forget. How do we mend a broken heart?

For now, I will just keep telling him how proud I am, how much I love him, hug him and tell him to always do his best...no matter what. Then hopefully, he'll learn inside he did his absolute best and move onto something else? Hmm..challenges of life. Now I totally understand how my mom felt.

Jonathan my love, I know you're a teenager now and you're going to dislike me saying this publicly but I love you my son. I'm proud you're my son and the kind heart & thoughtfullness you have. That's what makes you stand out and you don't need to be a soccer pro for me to be proud of you.
