Today is Veteran's Day, which I knew when I agreed to meet with some teachers today to talk about some issues at their school site.
This week has been extremely busy with a meeting every night this week. This has meant not getting home until after 7 most nights and leaving by 9 in the morning.
I've also been battling a cold, took a trip out of state, and basically have tried to accomplish way too much in the space of two weeks & trying to meet the needs of a lot of people without taking into account my own needs.
Today, I decided to be selfish which is what I should have done to begin with. However, I think that as women we hate to disappoint anyone who we believe is "counting on us."
I called the person hosting the meeting moments ago & told him I wouldn't be able to make it. I was very honest in my explanation as to why and asked him to ask some specific questions and report back to me. I know that the people attending will be disappointed that I'm not there, but I also know that sometimes I have to be selfish.
I don't think men have this problem - do you?

Many, many people don't have this problem. I have it too. Were you by any chance a first born child?(like me)
Nope, I don't think most men do have that problem.
