I believe I making the right decision

I had a long discussion with an old friend today. I was telling her about how stressful my day was and that a fellow peer is upset because I did not consult with her about a field trip and that she feels like I am doing it on purpose. THis week has been just plain busy. I have not been home all week until 7pm. When I am home I am trying to catch up on stuff that needs to be done that day and not tomorrow.
I feel so bad that I made the other person feel bad. It was not my intention...my intention was to get the work done without causing more work.
So then our conversation turned to ...thank goodness you do not have children because what state of mind would you be in when you got home....and you know she is absolutely right. For the car ride home all I could think about was that I did not have to make dinner for any children or drive them to practices, or go over homework, or have to be all smiles...I came home ate some take out with my hubby (he is heading off on a fishing trip this weekend so I was glad to spend the hour with him before he left). Tonight I am going to complete some work have a glass of wine and go to bed.
Though tomorrow I know that I will feel differently, today I understand why I do not have children yet!
