Nelson - Garden Party Lyrics
More Nelson Lyrics...
Well it's the course that actually came to mind. " Ya can't please everyone so you gotta please yourself" For the past few weeks now I have been trying to organize and coordinate getting the girls over for middles daughters birthday. If there is one thing to know about me. it's that I like to have things organized and have a plan. I think that stems from having worked night shifts for so many years and having to balance raising children and working shifts and all of lifes commitments.
Anyhow, along with this my dear friend who I haven't seen in 3 years will be in Vancouver around the same time that I was thinking of having my girls over. So through many emails and telephone calls I am not sure I am any further ahead. Eldest daughter won't be able to make it at all due to work commitments, youngest daughter has alternate plans, and middle daughter tells me she really didn't want to come over for her birthday and that they were doing her birthday thing with her grandmother on her birthday. "Sigh" lump in throat. Feeling a little sorry for myself and left out.
Now as far as my girlfriend goes....as it is the day she gets in town I will just be getting off of night shift. I told her I could catch a mid morning ferry and meet her at her hotel around noon and we could get together then. "Idea" insert light bulb here......I suggested to my girls that they meet me with my friend(note my friend and I go back a long ways and she is my eldest daughters godmother...they call her aunty sue). Logistics....again trying to figure out my girls schedule, and meeting my friend. My girls are being a little non comm ital.
Throw another wrench into the mix. Hubby tells me that the day I have been planning on going to the mainland is the same day he has to go to the hospital to have his pre admission appointment for his up coming shoulder surgery.
Time to take a deep breath. Ok I say, what time is it at.....1:00 pm....ok .....I start to rethink things again.....if I go with him to his appointment we could still make the 3:00 pm ferry and then meet my friend for dinner. I talk to my friend about it...she thinks its a great idea......I suggest it to my hubby.....he is non committal. Enter the wrench......I want to go to his appointment with him...if I do that and he doesn't come with me to the mainland than how does he get home.....you see there are no buses to where I live.....and well taxi's are rare and if he were to get one it would cost approximately $150 to get him back home. Seems silly, now doesn't it?
So what to do......I want to see my girlfriend ........I think it's important I go to my hubbies appointment with him.....and well then there is middle daughters birthday......
".....Ya can't please everyone so you gotta please yourself.....lota dah dah... lota dah dah da"

Loved Ricky Nelson and all his songs. Like the songs says "you gotta please yourself!"

You have an award waiting for you at my blog :-)
tough one . . . you'll have to tell us how it turned out..
How true those words are and darned if they don't come back and bite us in the behind from time to time too! Hope you manage to coordinate things so it all works out for the best - for all concerned.
Omigoodness, this one needs the wisdom of Solomon.
Keep us posted as to how it all works out.
You could have the birthday party at the hospital while your hubby is having his pre-admission appointment and as far as your friend goes. . . .well - I guess you'll just have to clone yourself.
Step 1 - Draw a vial of your own blood.
Step 2 - Extract your genetic sequence.
Step 3 - MAGIC!
Step 4 - Clone.
I love that song!
Best of luck in deciding what to do. For a long time I had trouble realizing my limitations when it came to doing things. Somewhere along the line I decided that I didn't enjoy trying to squeeze too much into one day, even if I really wanted to do each activity. In the end, it was the peace of not over scheduling that was what pleased me most.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

I think hubby comes first.
Can't friend come over to the island for a visit the next day?
As for daughter, having my own and knowing (finally) how they think, fohgeddaboudit. They have no concept of how we feel about "their" day because we're the ones who remember their birth and not them. Celebrate with hubby or hubby and friend and toast your daughter and wish her a great day with whomever she wants to spend it with. I didn't get to see my own daughter for 2 years in a row now on her birthday for various reasons. But I talked to her on the phone and it was fine.
But, you gotta do what you gotta do and please yourself first and foremost.
Good luck :D
That's a dilemma for sure, but you have to please yourself first. x
oh dear. this is a dilemma now, isn't it?
smiles, bee
