ive got issuessss

issssssssues (if you know gramboat, you know how im saying this...isssuuess issuues:) haha)! these are the things ive got! i am a total workaholic! i have my normal job during the week and then i also work on the weekend. i have a real problem saying "no" to people and so i end up working more than my allotted time fairly often. BUT i only work four days a week (for ten hours a day) at my normal job...so mondays are MY day! ive been told by my mom 1000 times to keep monday sacred. that everyone needs a day off. a day for themselves. just to relax! welllll clearly i have problems with this! when i sit at home doing nothing or doing stuff for myself..i feel guilty. i feel like im wasting the day and could be doing a million things..just not relaxing!! so i usually end up cleaning or doing boring errands or going to not-fun appointments like the dentist or the doctor! so i got a call today about ANOTHER job. i knew the call was coming. i had my answer planned out...no. its as easy as that..no. buuuut as it turns out, its NOT that easy. not when im on the phone, the pressure is mounting, i start to break into a sweat...AND BEFORE I KNOW IT, being the people pleasing workaholic that i am...... im offering up MONDAYS! ahhh! IM A NUT! its not official yet...but dont tell my mom that i think i just gave up my sacred day to take on a third job..... i need help.

  2. god, the physical problems you experience while saying no sound frighteningly like the problems you have while giving people "directions" or answering their questions when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about... you DO need help... and ANOTHER job??? ugh, i have no words... except isssuuesss...

  3. Nicole! Are you crazy?? Tell them no!! Whenever I would take on something I couldn't handle you would tell me to stand firm - you need to do the same! and what else would you have told me... that when you take days off to relax you're not being selfish! Even God rested on the 7th day - you must do the same!!!
    Love you...
