We often decline play dates and birthday parties from non family members. I know it's not my girls' fault their momma is an introvert. I know they miss out and I'm depriving them of valuable social opportunities and fun times. It's just very hard for me. I like staying away from small banter and awkward judgemental eyes. Home is my haven.
Today I was out trying to do it all for my kids. Field trips and class parties. Today required close conversation with small groups of adults, moms mostly and a few dads. Today was difficult for me. I don't know why, but I tend to say the wrong thing on occasion. At least I feel that way inside. I don't care much what other ppl think of me. But I do care how I present myself to others. I care I how I make others feel. It's exhausting being reserved and respectful. I was beat at the end of the day. I definitely deserved my nap today. Comments are closed.
