Big Decision

So sometimes my life feels out of control.  How did I get here?  Yesterday was one of those days.  I forgot to ask off for my daughter's talent show, so after dropping off my son at school, I went to work to see if it was too late to add that date to my schedule so I would be off.  Meanwhile, my phone is blowing up...I'm trying to ignore it.  I pick up a few things for a project and came home.  I checked my messages from the calls I was ignoring...my mom...yelling at me for not answering the phone. I call her back...she doesn't answer!  I picked up my daughter's keyboard and took it to school for talent show rehearsal.  I stayed and ate lunch with her and then things got a little more crazy.  My daughter has a problem...its called a Bully.  She was there...in the lunch room..bullying.  I confront her teacher about said bullying, I am told its just girl drama, no big thing.  What I just saw, was a BIG THING.  BULLYING is a BIG thing.  Don't try to lessen it by calling it girl drama!  I'm making no headway with the teacher, but I have another kid to tend to so I have to leave things unresolved, not happy.  On my way out of the school to tend to my other kid I get stopped.  Now, due to the issues with my big decision, I have to be vague for now...I may revisit this topic later.  Lets just say I don't appreciate being told that I should reevaluate "my career" to do whats best for my family by someone who is not even a friend.  They obviously don't know me at all since they used the word "career."  I don't have a career, I have a job.  I like my job, it pays the bills it needs to and I get a discount!  Who wouldn't want that, a discount at a scrapbook store?  Scrapbooking is a huge part of my life, its my thing.   Its what I do to relax, besides the fact that when I'm old and gray and can't remember anything, I have these books to remind me of what my life is!  But, I digress.  I leave the school angry, but I don't have time for that...I'm late for my other kid.  I get there just within the time frame before you have to start paying $5 a minute, thank goodness!  I make it home, make lunch for my kid, I walk into the laundry room to get things moving and I lose it.  I see the piles, more like mountains and I lose it.  I cried, and I cried and then I cried some more.  Some kid is bullying my daughter and I can't seem to stop it, and some other mom is bullying me and I can't seem to stop it.  I have laundry like there is no tomorrow and there aren't enough hours in the day to get my to-do list done.  I called my friend to cry some more and have a sympathetic ear, and then the decision is made.  I thought I would feel regret or horrible for the way my decision is going to affect my daughter, but I don't.  I feel relieved.  Did my bully win?  Maybe, but I cut her out of my life with my decision.  I stopped it.  For 5 years this mom has been pushing me around and using me, I have stood and taken it for the sake of our daughters.  But, now I'm not going to stand and take it anymore.  My daughter will be better off for having a less stressed mom. Sometimes the best thing we can do is walk away.  I took care of my bully, now how am I going to get rid of my daughters?  Suggestions welcome!
