I'm not competing...
but I kinda am. Y'all know those days when your husband or wife or family say something like, "I've had such a headache today, I just can't do the dishes." or "Honey, my back hurts so I'm just gonna lie down and rest today."? I don't know about you but these days are some of my hardest days mentally.
I want to feel for them and pick up the slack and to be honest I usually do but there are just sometimes when I wanna scream. Sometimes I slip up and say something like, "Tell me about it, I slept terribly last night." and then when I do they usually reply with something like, "Ok, yeah sorry it's not a competition.". I ALWAYS say "No, no, no, I didn't mean it like that." but you know what sometimes I kind of do mean it like that. Some days it kind of is like a competition.
Yesterday I spent my Saturday cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. I took care of my grandmother and fed most of the house their supper. I did 3 loads of dishes and 6 loads of laundry. I'm not saying this to brag or be mean it's just my preface for today. Today I slept in, I slept in much later than I thought I would but after Saturday I told myself I wasn't going to set an alarm. After I woke up, when I went downstairs I found some of my family a little annoyed with me. Apparently, they felt overwhelmed with responsibilities. Today is a day I want to scream, there are 6 capable people in this house but only 2 of them are the ones who get things done.
Since then instead of screaming I went to the store and got stuff for dinner and am currently in my apron about to start cook supper for everyone. I don't want to yell at everyone or have a mental breakdown. What's a girl to do?
