As the Ticker Turns~The next chapter of the Resort Changers Saga...*RC trips pg.238

[pas130]

More on the RCing in a bit after I get kiddo #3 on the kindy bus and kiddo #4 down for nap. But this just resonated with me so pardon if I overstep

DH and I see a marital counselor at least once every six months for a 'tune-up" if you will. Just to keep our marriage strong and happy. Anyway, a few years ago I told her that I was feeling like I was always last and felt a little resentful that nobody put me first. Turns out, after digging a bunch it was sort of my own fault. I got in such a habit of putting everyone else first that they felt awkward or uncomfortable doing things just for me. Once I broke the cycle and allowed myself to be first sometimes, the whole family followed along quite nicely and I think we have found a good balance.

All that to say. You are just as important. You are the glue holding your family together and it is ok to do things JUST FOR YOU! Because really, in the end, the whole family benefits if everybody feels important and whole.

Blah, blah, blah. Enough dime store psych. I wanted to say it, but feel free to ignore.

I know it's my own fault...Funny enough, I recently started putting myself first at work....IT'S TOUGH....those who are no longer getting "taken care of by supernurse" don't like it one bit...But I was starting to burn out...the way I see this though is...this is a family vacation, so we need to all agress, at least somewhat.. It will be fantastic at WL, BC, both, neither....


THANK you for your input, it is great advice we can ALL use & follow

Back to our regularly scheduled RCing at naptime

I like you!!! No really, we moms don't always think of ourselves, and we do need to! I am guilty of the first bolded too, trying to change that! Otherwise what example am I setting for our DD? They need to see mom taking time for herself.

No RCing, but was just on the phone with reservations making a payment...almost there!!! $500 to go !!

Yay!!!!

I agree, I am always trying to make everyone else happy...I guess that's just what woman (especially moms) do. The thing is, I have the most amazing husband who is always looking out for me, and really offers to give me the opportunity to do things for myself...I've just never been able to take him up on it. For instance, he tells me on the weekend to go out, get a mani/pedi, go shopping, etc...But, then I get this guilt...I work 37.5 hours per week and I always feel like my weekends should be spent with my kiddos b/c so much of the week is away from them...perhaps as they get older I can get a little more self-centered...

YEAH!! So you ARE back on again for my weekend? are you still planning on MNSSHP on the 30th?? I sure hope this sticks...would love to give you an in person hug and a big hello!

Udate: Thanks to all my friends here for the support and prayers for my friend Sue. I am saddened to report that last night they took her off of Life Support, and she couldn't sustain breathing on her own and passed away.
I know she had a lot of problems in her life, and she's in a more peaceful place now, I will remember her gentle spirit and be glad I knew her and she was in my life, regardless of how tumultuous it was ..... She is no longer suffering. I think of her and still hear her voice as I only talkied to her a month ago....it is hard to believe she is gone, but God must know best.
Thank you so much for your support, and kind words, I could feel the love jumping off the page....my RCer friends are the best!

Marie I was so sorry to read this morning that your friend had passed...I know what a difficult time this is for her parents...and having just lost a friend, understand what her friends are going through. We know our friends are at peace now and that does help our grieving hearts. Interesting...my friend's name is Sue too. Much love to you.

Talked to my daughter today. I asked her if she and her fiance wanted to have some time to tour the parks by themselves. I told her that would be fine if they did.
She said, "No, we want to hang out with you while you're here!"
Awww...made me smile.

 

[disneydreamin247]

Wish me luck guys. I'm going to ask of I can drop away at work and go to 3 days. 4 days is killing me and I feel like I'm full time. I hope my boss is willing to work with me. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed!!! That would be wonderful!

My DD wants to cut back to 30-35 hours rather than 40. Not much a change, but it will feel like heaven for her. She cannot ask until later in the summer though b/c they just changed every-one's hours. She had 8-5 and now 9:30 to 6...HATE 6...that last hour is torture for Sophia and me...AND...they cut their lunch from an hour to a half hour!!! It is awful - her job is one of the most stressful anywhere - how does the company expect her account to keep up their outstanding reputation by cutting their time to unwind and regroup for the afternoon. This is the bright idea of a new manager. Bet he has never done their job.
