Time Vampires

Time is short for all of us forever running around takes its toll. Some people have the perfect solution, they take your time and make you use it on them. Little favours here and there, from cleaning up mess to doing their hair. You could have hours to spare but instead you are doing things for them. When it comes to your free time they soak up your hours online. Just sit down for five minutes peace, the phone is always guaranteed to ring. A voice on the other end will say could you lend a hand tomorrow all day. If you could just learn to say no you'd have time to relax but guilt creeps in and you think okay I could perhaps. Just one more day sucked up by others your time shared up by everyone and their mothers. You never get them hours back so rein in your time and claim them back. Say you're sorry you can't help today, because your hours are yours for your life's living and that's how it's got to stay.

Racheal, This seems to be the story of my life and you've told it beautifully. I've often asked my wife why is such a short word so hard for her to say. She seems to always be taking someone, somewhere. no time for herself. keep up the good work. Tom

Hi Tom thank you. I think in life some people give and some people take. On the days I feel like I'm being taken advantage of I try to be happy that I'm the one that gives endlessly and not the one who takes and takes. Your wife sounds like she will give her everything to another, and even though she shouldn't she always will because she can't give enough.
