So I’ve been real tired since the Ibu house move and all our other activities that I am telling myself we need to slow down. Seriously….I need to force myself to say NO. And guess what? This weekend, we already have Saturday – kidsport at 11am, birthday party at 4pm and dinner with Dutch family friend arriving in KL. Sunday – we have to be at the zoo by 9am….the following Saturday, another birthday party. I swear, it’s birthday party season….what should I say? No, we’re not free that weekend….I’ve already lied a few times.

And then today, we get invited to another long lost friend’s daughter’s birthday party. The Hubs said since we missed their baby’s christening, we should really go for the party as we’ve not even met the little girl.

 Hmmm….when will this end?

So I ask myself. How would I feel if I had a party and A told me she wasnt free to come as she already had something else on versus she telling me she’d love to come but she is just too damn tired and wants to avoid parties for awhile. Which answer would I respect more? Funnily enough, I’ve been selling theatre tickets in raising funds for charity this past week and I started off with sms-ing everyone on my phone book to help buy some tickets off me. I get some “sorry we are not gonna be around that week” (I did suggest that you could always give the tickets away as gifts – even to the dog, the point is to work towards a charitable cause this month!), some “let me check my schedule first” or “let me ask my partner first” (fair enough, I shall await your decisions or are you hoping I forget about you?) and some who do not reply at all (how rude!). Of course there were the “Yes, please count me in!” supporters. What I really wanted was more honesty. If you cant afford it or dont want to afford it, say so. If you dont believe in charity, say so. But dont NOT reply without a darn good reason because you’re only shooting yourself in my book. There was one guy who was down with a viral fever who didnt reply – he is excused.

So does this mean that in future, I will tell people directly that I will not be attending their functions because I am too lazy to leave the comforts of my boudoir?

Time will tell.
