Does anyone else feel like they just have too many obligations these days? I was looking at the ole calendar with the hubby and we realized we pretty much have something every weekend until 2014. That was insanely depressing. The worst part is that everyone and every thing is in another state, so we have to drive a minimum of 1 hour each way to get to the nearest relative/friend/event.
When will we Christmas shop? On the way to or from someone's house or party? When will we finish project like putting away the patio furniture for the weekend or installing insulation in the attic? Heck, I haven't even had time to CLEAN the attic, let alone install insulation up there.
Part of the reason life is so crazy is because nobody in my husband's family is getting along at the moment. So, not only do we have Thanksgiving with his mom, we also have to make time for his dad, his aunt, etc. It seems like every time I turn around someone isn't getting along with someone else and then the whole party dynamic is wrecked and you can't invite everyone to a single event because they won't get along.
I'm really close to just saying no to everyone and selfishly taking a weekend to do what matters - relax, take care of things around the house and spend time as a family outside of a car.
