The Perils of Being Your Own Boss
I didn’t sleep well last night so I am tired and groggy. But then I am my own boss and don’t have to do anything if I don’t want to. Saying that, I learned that I am a demanding boss.
Tired me: I think I’ll do nothing today. Go to church but other than that, not much.
Bossy, workaholic me: I don’t think so. There are things to do. Newsletters to write. Blogs to write. And laundry. Have you forgotten the laundry?
Tired me: I wish I could. I’d throw in the towel but that would just mean more laundry.
Bossy, workaholic me: Oh come on. All you have to do is dump things in the washing machine. It isn’t like you have to scrub dirty jeans on a scrub board, after, I might point out, you have hauled in the water, heated it on the stove–
Tired me: Okay I get it. But right now, I’d really REALLY like to be on a lounge chair on a sunny beach.
BW Me: Oh right. You get on that this very minute.
Tired me: No need to be sarcastic.
BW me: Remember what you always say–You can’t control the world but you can control your attitude. Chose a good one.
Tired me:
Tired me:
BW Me; Look. Pull up your big girl panties and get on with your day.
Tired me: Sigh.
