Thank you my gentle family. My sister called me today to ask what I was doing this weekend? I did speak up and asked if this was about her daughter making the 1000 mile round trip home to be with her husband on his birthday on 3/1. She said yes. I told her very kindly that my own daughter's birthday is 3/2 and I work 3 days next week so this was not something I would be able to do.
I told her I had to take care of my family too and we are covering our daughter's business until she gets home on Tuesday from a cruise. I want to surprise her with a cake and welcome home birthday celebraiton.
I could hear in her voice she was not happy and she said "that is fine, it's not your problem, we will figure it out." Then she said good bye.
My hubby was upset as he knew I had already told my neice that this was not going to work out so the sick woman in the bed is caling me asking for a favor for her daughter.
The birthday man just left MN on Sunday, dang............what do people think?
Yes I feel the guilt but also I feel like I am being used too. My first no should have been enough and I should not have been called by a sick woman from a hospital bed.
Dang the family dynamics............I want my life back.
I am praying that all tests turn out normal and my sister can go home to her own place and have many more good years.
Hugs
Kitt
