The New Tide...

Today I was sitting at my computer contemplating life as we know it...as usual...when it dawned upon me, I am super excited about the Me Friday Night that I have planned. What is a Me Friday, you might ask? Well, it is when I go out and do stuff with me, for me. Utter selfishness. I am so pumped. I began to think that I need to have more Me Friday Nights because I haven't gotten so excited about something in a long time. I think I need to self perserve more. I am tired of planning stuff for events that I really don't want to do. For example, I hate softball...yes hate it. There I said it and the world didn't fall down. Why did I play another season? Because someone roped me into it...that's why. To top it off, I am captain. Tomorrow night, all I really want to do is go see La Misma Luna with one of me friends.

Okay, back to my point. I am becoming my mother. I watched my mom take on tasks that she had no interest in her entire life. I don't want to be her in this situation. My mom was my high school's treasurer, water polo spirit mom and copy volunteer at school. I have seen people walk all over her. She is good at all of these things...yes...but does she like them? No... So if I have learned anything from my mom, it is to say no. Can I worm my way outta softball tomorrow? I don't know but I am contemplating trying. Wish me luck. I surely will not succeed at this task because GUILT will overwhelm me from being noncommital.
