I would do ANYTHING to help my Dad!

In recent years, I have taken vacation days from work and have gone to Florida to:
-help my Dad set up new computers and transfer files
-been his HelpDesk when there have been technical difficulties (mainly user error)
-spent a week helping him get around and do his physical therapy after knee replacement

He has recently made another request of me. Though I am tired, taking on more work responsibilities, back in school, and want to save vacation days, I just don't think I can deny him this request. He called me the other day, and in order to maintain his platinum level status in his travel club, he must go to London......England, that is. He would like me to go with him.

*SIGH*

Once again, I will sacrifice for my father the way my parents sacrificed for me.

IALAC

"I Am Lovable And Capable" - IALAC
Frequently, this acronym makes me want to hurl. However, I'm making attempts to be more positive these days. Examples of being positive:

* I positively want to stop saying "asshat" after speaking to certain people on the phone.

* I positively want to stop saying that "Exercise SUCKS!"

* I positively want to love the price of Gas, but that one is out of my control!!!

Maybe I should start a positive thoughts of the week thread, or at least thoughts, or at least consider having a list of positives for the week...........maybe for the month.

I'm positive that is a good idea :).

How much do I LOVE......

**that I regularly have trouble finding my cell phone in my purse.

**that I drive past my Ex & his new wife going to or from work on an almost daily basis.

**that I look in the mirror and am surprised to find that I'm not cute anymore, just older and fatter.

**that my children are not in my presence every single day of my life.

**that others are "bringing sexy back", yet I brought it out back and beat the shit out of it.

**that a review of my "lack of love" life brings me to the revelation that I obsessed over one guy (NO...not my ex-husband) for the last few years and allowed myself to be hurt when it proved to be nothing.

**that I don't have porch furniture and can't sit out on my back deck and enjoy the change in the weather.
