Work is plenty stressful. It's easy enough to fast at work, but coming home, I knew I wanted to eat. I recorded it all, and it's under the maintenance RDI, which shocks me. But I ate it all in one shot, and now I don't want any more food.

Not great choices, but you know, I needed comfort and PB sandwiches are what love tastes like in my house.

I do NOT like picking up extra shifts, but they are short staffed and I decided to help out. Also, I need the money for a Hawaii vacation we are saving for. The thing is, when we invited hubby's folks for an all expense paid week in Hawaii, hubby was making 30% more money than he is now. This puts it all on me to work doubles and sacrifice my days off to pay for the thing.

I already raised enough to cover the cost of an Alaskan Cruise for 8, which is happening next month (us, two grown children, one spouse, and three grandkids.) The kids were initially going to pitch in, but SIL turned on the sob story how they couldn't afford to pay anything, so I picked up the whole cost. What a chump. Daughter is now spending a whole week on vacation alone up north. Couldn't afford to help out, my @$$.

I am hosting a big family dinner on August 6. I was going to rent tables, chairs, and awnings and have it at my house, but my sister went behind my back and convinced my dad it would be better to have it at her work, which is an actual venue for this type of thing. Bottom line, now I have to pack and lug all the food across town, and there will be NO AC for people to retreat to.

I feel so da*n angry and b*tchy! I am, you know, generous to a fault as they say. I don't stick up for myself and people walk all over me. I was raised to be this way. Don't think I can change, but at least I could continue to at least take care of myself, and follow through with my plans FOR ONCE, and show some self love.

No one, nowhere, can make me follow through but me. I would really like to be normal weight. I want to do it so I can live a long life.

So. Rant over.

Nothing like a little free therapy. 😐

Do these folks that attend large family gatherings ever host any of their own? Seems like every time a new neighbor rents the rent house on my road they're the ones hosting these functions. I always wonder, who's at the guests houses? Random thought there, but really, there are givers and takers in life, I really hope I exit this world as more of a giver than a taker. A lot of people have no capacity for critical self-reflection, unfortunately.

This is true. Dad married step mom a few years after mom died, and she had three grown children and seven grandchildren. Step sister is very generous with her time and what few resources she has. She would be a really good resource for planning activities all the little kids will enjoy. She is great with kids.
