Mom's Night Out
When I was growing up, one thing I never had to worry about was being out done by my sister, Heather. I don’t mean that in a nasty way, it’s just that we have always excelled at very different things. In high school while I was busy scoring scholastically, Heather was busy scoring in the back of a Camaro. I was the go to girl for running committees and club events. Teachers always found it surprising we were sisters. So you can imagine my surprise when my appointment as replacement for Heather as Mom’s night out coordinator was met with a thundering lack of enthusiasm. Some Mom’s were actually down right hostile. I would think that a tasteful wine and cheese night at my home would be preferable to Heathers b.y.o.b. outside the window of the men’s locker room behind the YMCA! I suggested a book club and was shot down in favor of Heather’s beer, bingo, and boy bands night. I just have to realize that my sister has proven herself a leader in this field. She served in this position and left her mark. I simply need to take a deep breath…..and release my expectations!
