i wish my inability to say no affected the things i want to do, not the things i don't want to do. cases in point:
1.) i wanted a bowl from brendan's mom's store - i controlled myself and said no and didn't spend the money. i now regret it.
2.) the neighbor called to ask me to babysit - i couldn't make myself say no, so i have to do it. i now regret it.

yeah, but you'd probably be in bad situations if you always never turned down things you wanted but always turned down helping people! ;) (i have no problem not saying no to things i want, and it's not a good quality;)
but if you need an excuse next time just say that you can't b/c you have to spend some time with your friend chelleybutton (they don't have to know i live in ia & it's via chatting;)
of course, you'll have to follow through with that so you don't feel guilty -- but that just means you'll get to chat with me! :D
forheavenssake - do you whine this much about babysitting my children?
...maybe you shouldn't answer that
no, i don't
but you're not getting nieces and nephews
i survived the boys just fine
i figured you would. did they survive you?
oh, and for the record, i told you to buy something at that store. and i told you again. and i think i told you again.
:P
and yes, they survived me. the five-year-old almost didn't, but he and i had a talk, and after i sat there with him silently for a minute, he started squirming and looking guilty, and then was good.
good job!
