Tea: I also just looked at my calendar and realized I have something social every weekend this month including hosting Father's Day next weekend, and I'm filled with the don't wannas. So, I completely understand.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trying to drag kids into it is extra shitty.
Oh, god. I was gonna say, using kids as weapons? Is one of the shittiest things a person can do.

Oops, Teppy. Sorry, I didn't mean to add to your pile.

Hey, you didn't invent Father's Day. No worries. I just forgot when it was.

We shouldn't be twinsies on this. It sucks. Well, neither of us should feel this way. We should be twinsies in not being overwhelmed.
We should work on this plan. Sharing our mutual wardrobes, and not being overwhelmed. #LifeGoals

Seriously, what a dick move.

I'm really good lately at making plans that I'm really looking forward to at the time I make them and then dreading them and making myself a nervous wreck about them as they get closer. Father's Day? Sure I do that every year. Why should this year be any different? Then I watch as my toddler destroys the house.

I hope so. I'm going to be finding cheerios at different corners of my house until ltc goes off to college.

Steph, of course you feel stressed and overwhelmed! That's a lot of stuff!
Can you prioritize some, and decide which things are most important, and which ones would be OK with a "Sorry I can't make it, but happy birthday, and here's a funny e-card!"?
Hil is right on this, and I'm going to add that it's not a case of "can you prioritize some", but that you need to. And hell, don't be shy about inventing a sudden migraine that means you need to stay home. You need to look after yourself.
(I was about to write "You need to look after yourself, so you can look after others" , but remembered that this is a mindset my therapist is trying to break me of.)
