I have been sitting here feeling really guilty the last few days, guilty and selfish. I know that so many people around me need help, need time and attention, a break from their kids, maybe even just to go out for a Coke or something. I cant seem to find the time to help. When I do have time I cant muster up the energy to drive the 15 or 20 min it might take to get to their houses. How lame, how lame am I I work 50-60 hours a week and have two half grown children and I can't find the time or energy to make someone else's day by helping them pull weeds, or clean their kitchen.
Maybe I have forgotten what is really important, maybe I have lost my way, I am going to make a conscious effort to see more people even if it is only for an hour, I am going to spend more time with my nieces and nephews, who by the way I adore! More time with old friends and less time with the same old same old. So please let me help you if I ask, please feel free to ask me. Those of you I have not seen in 2009 lets get together even just for a minute I am serious! Even if I have I think we should get together anyway!
Melissa, we should get together. I'll send you my number on Facebook or you can send me yours or both. Don't be so hard on yourself...or to ask for help if you need it. Just because your kids aren't young anymore doesn't mean you don't needs some TLC sometimes too.
