Once again, the weekend is about over. I'm not sure that we accomplished anything this weekend, but I suppose that's okay. Most of the things on the 'To Do' list will wait. We did buy a new ceiling fan and light fixture for the family room today. (Thank you, Dad!) I'm excited about getting it put up, maybe next weekend.
Friday night we went to a Lacrosse game - Portland Lumberjax vs. Edmonton Rush. After losing to the Rush by one point last week, the Jax beat the Rush 15-10 at home. They held the lead the entire game and there were 2 good fights. It was the best game of the season so far. The next home game is February 7. Cheryl and Christy are coming up for that one. We'll celebrate Kyle's birthday, go to the game and do some beading that weekend.
I did some shopping yesterday - darn sales at Michael's! I bought my first additions to my new addiction/hobby - beads. How could I resist? Everything was 50% off!
I haven't been in the best mood this weekend. I've been upset about people and the way they treat other people. I work so hard to do things for people, to make them happy, and I get little in return. When I see something I think someone will like, I buy it for them or send it to them or whatever. I don't have to have an occcasion. I often do it just because. All I expect in return is appreciation. The same thought would be nice, but I know that's asking too much. I don't expect 'things' in return, just appreciation, thought, consideration. Why is that so hard? I'm going to start doing less for others and more for myself and those that are deserving. The really sad part is that I don't know that the others will even know the difference, but I will and that's all that matters now.
So things are about to get really busy. Kyle is going to be doing a lot of travelling over the next few weeks. That will give me some time to get the office/craft room in order and hopefully do some crafts. My work group will be in Vancouver in a couple of weeks so that will be a busy week as well.
Time to think about dinner and work on laundry. The weekend is about over.

Over the period of years I have experience the same things as you as talking about. You try so hard to select just the right thing or you think someone would like this or that, then only after a while you realize that this is a little one sided. No, we don't expect things in return, but just a little note or appreciation would be nice. So, yes I understand perfectly what you are saying and I myself have crossed several people off my lists this year. What is funny that January is almost over and no one has gotten in touch with me. To see if I am ok, if I had a nice christmas etc. It is sad for us, for we are the ones that are hurt this. Not them, they probably do not have a clue what kind of selfish people they are. They say they card and can't say another about you, but action speak louder than words. Words would be nice, just something, anything. You are not along in this feeling, but what we do have to do is the people that are appreciative, that really do care about us, put our energy there witht them as they do with us. Mom
