I can’t stand it when people ask me “what are you up to tonight?” or “what are your plans this weekend?”. I NEVER HAVE PLANS!!! I DON’T DO ANYTHING. I DON’T GO ANYWHERE.
I feel so inadequate when I reply by explaining the mountains of laundry I’ll be dealing with or the bathroom sink, toilet and tub/shower that needs scrubbing, the groceries I need to buy, the food to be cooked. Like is that what they want to hear? I doubt it very much.
My son Taz makes the mistake of asking “any plans tonight Mom?” in like the middle of the work week. I have to take a deep breath and tell myself to remain calm before I answer him. Like what would I or should I be up to?? I will do what I do every evening. Cook, do dishes, get Sid to bed and try and stay awake long enough to have a bath myself before hitting the hay.
This has been my life, my routine, for my whole entire life!! Honestly, what does he expect me to answer??
