I need a break
So the one thing about me that you should know is I look forward to MY weekends BUT since March every weekend that arrives has mutiple occasions attached to it. It's killing my weekend spirit and my bank account. Why must I feel the need to attend every function presented to me? Being the good doobie that I am, I am out and about attending to all the events and sending gifts to the small few I can't make it too. Why? Why, Why, Why can't I just tell my friends and family "sorry I can't make it, I want to sit home and do nothing all day". I mean if you can't be honest with them who can you be honest with. So until I figure out a way to say it tactfully without lying or wait for my schedule to clear, I presume I will keep ranting about it. Does anyone truely understand what I am feeling? Like theres too many things to do in 7 days and you no longer have your own life anymore. I think if I had children at least I could say that I am doing it for them. I don't even want to go to half of these parties. In my family it seems if someone sneezes...they throw a party! For goodness sake, buy a box of kleenex and call it a day. Whew...glad I got that off my chest!

Hey - I'm with you. I'm tired of going to events just to make other people happy! From now on I'm only saying YES when I want to and NO doesn't need an explanation.
So if you don't come to one of my parties then I know you are sitting home ignoring me.... Just so I know.
Well you could always say yes and then say you are sick last minute, lol. Just kidding, that's mean. But I can relate to you. It happens every few years in my family but there will come a break at some point. And I know it kills the wallet everytime.
When you learn how to say no, please let me know how you did it. I would love to learn how.
