Here's the deal. I have off from work Friday through to the following Monday, reason being I was supposed to go to Ohio with my mom, sister and her three kids to spend the week with my brother and his four kids.

Now.

I went to Maine last weekend.

I went to Maryland the weekend before. Spent a lot of cash and had to board my dog as another expense. (60 bucks for 5 days.. so boarding him for about 11 days = lots of cash that I'd rather not spend)

I'm really... TIRED... emotionally and physically. I kinda like the idea of just giving my sister the 140 bucks for the ticket and telling them I couldn't get off of work and just taking the week to me myself and I.
I would like to see my family... but I also know and value the importance of time spent by yourself.


What would you guys do if you were in my Chucks?

 

Selfish "me" time to recoup > $140.

 

Guilt for not seeing family is also in there as well. That's the real drawback.. not the 140 bucks

 

You can always buy a cheaper family with the $140 you save h:

 

selftime

 

lolwtf :lmfao:

 

Basically.. it boils down to.. I don't see spending a week with 7 children 7 years old and under a restful time. :happysad: Love them... but I don't think I have the energy right now.

 

I tend to be a, "Yah know what......... I'm not going h:" kinda person. If I tell myself I don't wanna do something, I get short of breath as the day draws closer to going.

But on the other hand, everytime I've decided to just buckle up and go, I had a good time :hs:

Either way, make sure you do the Crip walk in your Chucks no matter what you decied

 

I love my family and all, but burning yourself out isn't worth it. I'd say give them the money and maybe when you have some extra time for yourself, even if it's just a weekend fly out there and chill with them. Or, how bout this. Take some time to yourself now, then go out there later on in the week. Like head out there thursday. That way you still had time to yourself and you still get to see your family.

 

:werd:

Spreading yourself out too thin is just bad h:

Take a day off for yourself and make yourself feel pretty, afterwards if you still want to kick back, then kick back, if you're feeling up to visiting the family, go for it. Do what is healthy for you, then worry about making everyone else happy h:
