Bad sister


 Love this photo oh so much!

I feel like a bad sister tonight.  I'm going to ND tomorrow for work and am forgoing family photos for the opportunity.  My sis said she doesn't mind but I still feel bad.  I know the goal is to capture the cuteness of BooBoo, not me.  I've offered to pay for the next session and I'll try really hard to not be working.  Guilt is not pretty on me.

While I was stuck in traffic tonight I think everyone called me.  Which helped it go by much faster, but it still took nearly 2 hours to get home.  Clint called just to talk about himself which is getting really old.  I had to talk over him to get anything in about myself.  I still don't think he realizes I'm going to ND tomorrow for a great training gig.  He's so concerned about people liking him and telling him he has pretty eyes that nothing else matters.  

I'm starting to fear I may be doing this to myself intentionally.  When he starts to whine about a long day, or how tough something is, I constantly remind him it's his job and that it's not easy.  I know I put my job first all the time, but he doesn't.  He doesn't have the work ethic that I do.  His is great but he wants limits.  I just give all I have until, well, I end up with 10 yrs down the toilet.  These subtle differences make our visions of being busy and accomplished two very different ideas.  He wants congratulations and I want him to quit whining and accept what his job is.  I want him to work as hard as I do and realize there isn't an atta boy for every little thing.  For only a 7 year age difference the generation gap is really starting to show.

Now I'm going to go finish laundry and pack.  For only 5 days I sure find a lot of things I HAVE to have with me.
