Welcome back. Funny now that I am blogging I found myself thinking, at different points in the day, about how I would put what I was doing in writing. I also noticed that just before putting the girls to bed I thought to myself, "Did I do anything today that is blog worthy?"
Day 2: This morning we went to mass, as we do every Sunday, and then the four of us went to run some errands at the mall. While this sounds like no big deal to some, it can be to the Gales family.
You see, I tend to WAY overthink things,just one of my quirks, and to assume people are feeling/thinking a certain way based on my insecurities or wanting to please others. This tendency ends up making things much more complicated and difficult than they need to be.
My husband (Cameron from now on) offered to take the girls and I to the mall after church, which is, sorry to say, a rare occurance. So before we left I went around and around with him about if this was really what he wanted to do. I am sometimes worried that he is doing things just to please me and not because he wants to. He assured me time and again that it was no big deal and to stop making things so complicated.
Brandi in 2010 would have said, " No no its ok, I'll take the girls on my own and you go to the gym, or do what you want to do." But today I said "well ok then", and we all went. It was smooth. The girls were great and I got everything exchanged that I needed to. I even ended up walking away with an extra $7.49!
All too often I take the burden on myself so that others will be comfortable and not have to go out of their way. I experienced today what it was like to share the load and it ended up being kind of fun in the process! I think I'll take peoples words at face value and go with the flow more often =)
You have always thought about others. :) sometimes you have to think about yourself too! Oh, and I think during the day about 'blog worthy' funny huh :)
