Just Tell Me What To Do

I don't know whether I'm just tired or I've lost that "be the leader" mentality. I hate to make decisions anymore, especially if a group of people are involved. It has fallen on us to make plans for our daughter's soccer team party and something so simple has become so difficult. Perhaps I'm too worried about what they'll think of me and of the choice I make. But should I even care? Nobody else stepped up to do it. I'm always afraid of choosing something that someone else doesn't like, but by continually deferring to the imagined desires of someone else, nothing gets decided. I just want someone to tell me what to do, where to be, and when to be there. I used to think that being in charge was enviable, but right now I'd love to just be a sheep and follow a qualified shepherd.

You have great ideas. You can't go wrong if there's cake and ice cream. Who knows, they might really like what you end up doing. Give them a shot. Then if they are mean...have a 'special' cake ready to go.

When it doubt, roller skate! That's my favorite. Air conditioned, someone provides the food, and there's rollerskating involved. LOL
