No More, Please

by

rock
Today I do not want to be the rock. I cannot always be the person that everyone leans on without having anyone to lean on myself. I don’t always want to be the person who decides what we will do and when we will do it and hope that everyone is thrilled with the plans I have or have not made.

If one more person says to me, “so what are we going to do this weekend?” I will scream. I don’t know why we have to “DO” anything. Can’t we just enjoy a weekend at home. Maybe go to the park. Can’t we for one freaking weekend just not spend more money than we have?

What would be so wrong with that?

    Oh my–this is something I am facing as well. Actually our kids have noticed that it’s the weekends with out the stepkids that we stay home and don’t “DO” anything. Well, that’s not true–we do yard work, housework, and the dreaded “clean your room”.
