I spent a day reading and completely writing exercises on Sunday, and realize that every book that was recommended is not available at the library. Although, I started reading two books that I've had on my shelf, I felt I had wasted away the day.
I was already in a sour mood by Sunday morning. We should have never cancelled our camping trip. The rain and wind was nothing like the forecast stated. And Sunday, the only thing to deal with was the cooler temperature. Three of us badly wanted a retreat to get away from everything. One was our college daughter, who was sad we cancelled it in the first place.
Hubby's family took his time for the entire Sunday, and I never saw him until after 7:00pm. Before he was out of bed, one was calling and asked for him to join one member on a 1/2 hour job nearby. After breakfast, which the younger two cooked (delicious - blueberry pancakes, sausage, bacon, fried potatoes), he was called by another family member, so they drove right past the house at noon, and he was never dropped off until 5pm.
I was walking from the barn, and literally, not one minute later, another family member pulled in and asked for him to work on another vehicle. I wasn't in the best of moods.
Today's just a Monday chore day. I hope to relax with some porch time, and finish another crocheted slouchy hat. Youngest Daughter insists her friends will buy them.

As far a demands on your hubby go, there comes a time when we have to set up those old boundaries, be able to say no and take the time for ourselves or immediate family.
(Geesh, I sound like I know what I'm doing, don't I? No true.)
God bless.
