Saying no

I got to a point where if I don't want to do something, I just let ppl know. If they don't like it sorry but I am not going to do something I am not comfortable with. I told my stepmom after she wasn't hearing me that I wasn't going up north because we have a room and I want to stay away from fireworks. She wasn't hearing me. She got mad because I told her I didn't want to go up north or having anything to do with Mi. I am done pleasing ppl. I am not going to the 30th class reunion. Five years ago, I went and lost weight and ended up in the dog house with her. I don't want to do that again nor do I want to go due to cliqueness. It was way too loud last time. My friend wants me to go but I told him no. He keeps asking me in round about ways. I keep telling him no.
The point is, I am keeping my boundaries and saying no!

Father's Day

It has been 24 years since my dad died. I still miss him. This day still bites for me due to he died before we could celebrate with him.

I still remember taking him out to breakfast at either Sweeden House or Old Country Buffet!


I remember the good times with him and his humor.

I think what makes it hard is that the card company like Hallmark and the stores really emphasize getting stuff for your dad.
Hopefully one day it won't be an issue with me.
