An Easter Celebration and Save the Drama

My weekend somewhat started last Thursday. My step mom called me in the morning to ask if I wanted my Dad to come pick the kids up and keep them until Saturday morning. Man what a nice break it was. Of course I said yes! My dad calls me just as I am getting ready to get my taxes done and asks me to meet him at the Red Hot and Blue so we can have dinner and he can get the kids. That is one of my favorite places to eat. I love the fried catfish - its to die for! LOL

Dinner was wonderful and off went the kids with my dad. So what do I do with all my free time. Not a damn thing important, lol. I go pick out an out fit for Easter get and get the remaining items I needed for Easter morning.

Friday after work I got a pedicure - a much needed pedicure and that night I went out for a bit with some friends. I had some drinks and did some dancing and felt so refreshed afterwards. Its such a stress reliever to get out there and dance and let me tell you what I was dancing up a storm - so much I almost knocked mowhawk lady down so I hear. HAHA

Saturday morning I had to get the kids by 11 so B could go to gymnastics. I got up around 8 so I could run some more errands before I got them. I love to run errands without the kids - in and out without any drama! I LOVE it. I get everything done get the kids and arrive at gymnastics only to find out they dont have it due to Easter Break. WTF - I didnt even get a notice! Oh well so home we went.

Brandi came over at about 12:30 so I could watch her girls so she could get the usual every two weeks salon visit in. When she got back we chilled for a while. Late that night we all died eggs and I spent about 30 min cleaning the kitchen from dye all over the place. I had 6 different kits and had set up stations so they would start at one station and then proceed to the next and so on and so on - you get the picture. They had a ball and so did I.

Sunday morning the kids wake up - eat a ton of candy - we hide eggs and find them - get all dressed up and head to my Dad's for an Easter celebration. We had so much food it was rediculous. Here is what we had:
1. BBQ Chicken on the grill
2. Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill
2. Trout
3. Flounder
4. Shrimp
5. Mac and Cheese
6. Baked Beans
7. Fruit and fruit dip
8. Veggies and dip
9. Pasta Salad
10. Spiniach Dip
11. Key Lime Pie
12. Chocolate Pie
11. Brownies
12. Chocolate/Peanutbutter crunch pie, and last but not least chips and dip. Holy Moly it was a nice time. The weather was nice and we had a wonderful time. We got back around 7:30 ish got baths and were in bed by 8:30. A wonderful weekend had by all.

Now I have a question: What do you do when someone you know is pushing for more than your willing to give? What I did was try very nicely to say your asking for more than I am willing to give and then that person went off. All I wanted to say was stop with all the pushing and it went into so much more. Why cant it be accepted that right now they are asking for too much and just leave it at that? Why because they dont like what I have just said they blow things out of proportion and make a big deal out of everything? Why not when I say your asking for more than I am comfortable giving - the person doesnt just say ok no problem and then everything still remains the same - only thing different is your no longer making me feel uncomforatable. If I tell you your making me uncomfortable do you come back with a bunch of other shit or do you just say ok cool - didnt realize I was crossing the line but no problem I will stop.

It really confuses me on how people try solve their problems - seems like this problem here was one that the other person didnt want to fix but rather turn around and just argue about it. There was nothing to argue about I was not mad, I just wanted it to be know that I was not comforatable with what the person wanted from me. End of story.

Was I wrong?
