I am watching a friends child over the weekend cause I am an awesome friend darnit! LOL.
Actually I get myself worked up for a horrible weekend, with kids that aren't getting along or having to break up a ton of fights. So when my weekend doesn't look anything like that ...I start to wonder.
Why do I always prepare myself for the negative? Instead of pumping myself up for a great weekend, I am pumping myself up for a bad weekend. Does that make any sense? Not to me!!
So not am I preparing for the bad weekend, when the weekend comes to an end I reflect back and think "Well that went alot better then I expected".
Am I preparing myself mentally for the negative weekend to just be surprised by the positive weekend? It's like praying for the worst and hoping for the best.
I am deciding this is not healthy emotional preparation. Going forward I am going to either leave things up in the air with some preparation for different activities or plan for a positive, fun good time!!
Overall - this weekend has worked out great. All the kids have been getting along great and we've been having a lot of fun.
