I had a few ideas for a second post but the universe is already testing my resolve to be more of myself. I just found out that my inlaws were coming into town before taking a flight to Hawaii. The inlaws I had just recently decided to stop trying so hard to win over. I figured after 7 years of trying it was good to speak the truth, I just didn't realize I'd be speaking that truth so soon!
They will be here tonight and leave for the airport at 9am. They hadn't shared their plans with us, so I have decided that it is okay to be busy. And I am. I have my first knitting class tonight. So hubs can go visit afterwards and I will watch over our sleeping boys. I don't dislike them, but find it exhausting to try to find common ground with people who don't like me. So I won't pretend. I will abstain.
All too often I feel the need to explain myself so this will be a good test for me in many ways. I'll stop trying so hard but avoid the confrontation of making them or others see my side. In theory. We'll see how well I do!
