ok I need some advice. My friends daughter is suppose to come and pick up this bed I have for her. Now I told them about it weeks ago and they did arrange to pick it up Friday. Then I got call asking if they could pick it up Sunday. I told my that it really is not a good time. I understand that she needs it but I need one day that I dont need to do anything and I was hoping that would be today. I have tried to explain that everybody says I need to take this time to relax and I have not been able too with everything going on and my mom at the hospital. I have tried to explain that I have a bad cold and that I dont want one of them to catch because she just had a baby. I know I am being a BIG BABY. I MUST WANT TO VEG OUT ON MY COUCH TODAY.oK Maybe the must was a frudien slip It is suppose to be JUST Anyway how do I make them understand this without make them mad?

Excuse me, they\'re being insensitive and selfish. They changed the original date. Stop worrying about how \"nice\" you need to be. You have a platefull of troubles right now and need some time for yourself. I\'d simply say that with your mom and all you\'ve been going through, today is just not good for you, your body is shot and you need to rest. Please re-schedule. If they needed it that bad, they would have shown up for it on the original date. You are in the right here. Put your foot down!
Thank you Darla. You are right but you know it hurts to put my foot down, LOL I just hate feeling guilty I know I should not but I do. I feel guitly that my son is in the hospital guilty that I can not help my mom with her issues, ect....I know these are there problems but you know I am women hear me roar lol
Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh guilt, bad, bad. Don\'t wallow in that. You are who you are. You can only do so much. You are not well. You can\'t take on the world. OK? Dump the guilt. It\'s destructive. PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN!
Oh I cant take on the world. No one has ever told me that LOL
I am trying but honestly my feet hurt. LOL Dumping the guilt now.
well I did it. I even told my sister no about giving her a ride to school. So they both are not happy with me. OH well right ? I have to say I still have guilt, but I know that I have to sit here and relax. Its a me day. Now I just have to figure out how to enjoy it. How do I do that? Man this is hard. lol
