Sometimes I just want to put my head in the sand. I struggle with dealing with the people in my life. My spouse, my children, my employees and my boss. I feel disrespected by all of them. I try real hard to be there for them, to be understanding of their issues, considerate of their feelings...yes sometimes I am not(I admit it) but more than not I am good to them. I work 12-14 hours a day Monday through Friday and 8 hours or do on most Saturdays. I give of myself over and over. I have a hard time saying No. I am getting better at it. But for some odd reason I feel more valuable when I am all in. Giving 100% of myself to whatever the task is at hand. Whether it is talking to my children working my job or being with my spouse. I just want to feel appreciated for my effort.
