My husband is going hunting in two weeks. He asked if I'd like to go with him the weekend before to get his camp set up and spend some time together camping. The area he goes to is beautiful with lots of wild horses and I'm into photography right now so it would be a perfect opportunity for some photos. Originally we planned on going up Saturday (in two weeks) and coming home on Sunday. Well, he found out that he could take that Friday off work also, so he wants me to take it off, too so we'll have an extra day. Only problem is that I only have 5 or 6 days vacation left to last me through NEXT September. I would have three weeks, but I had to borrow two weeks last year for my hysterectomy recovery time. He says "Don't think of it as time you don't have, think of it as time you do have and it would be an extra day we could spend together." Which is a nice way to look at it when he has boat loads of vacation time and doesn't have to worry about only having 5 days for the whole year. And part of those 5 days may have to be used for sick time....on those rought IBS days. I tried to explain to him that there's no compromise with him...it's either "take that Friday off or don't go." I even offered for him to go ahead and go Friday and I'd come up Saturday. He doesn't want to do that either. So I gave in and said I'd ask for next Friday off so that everything will be fine. I gave in again to being a "People Pleaser" and it pisses me off. I say OK all the time to people just to keep the peace!!! I'M SICK OF IT!!! I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO PIKES PEAK AND SCREAM IT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!
