One of Those days
Have you ever needed to talk to someone, but were stressed out about how it would turn out? i have been stressing talking to this person for some time. Today I had had it and I just was in a bad mood and then started not feeling so good. I babysit and needed to talk to the parents about raising the rates. I know that probably sounds stupid, but I don't need the money, but it is hard having two kids everyday they are like my own. They are the cutiest little girls and I love having them at my house. As my friends know I don't like to make waves. And the last thing I want is for them to find another babysitter. So after I talked to the dad I felt so much better. I wish I could be like Kelly and Amy and just say what I am thinking. I admire them so much.

Saying what is on your mind can be a blessing and a curse. I sometimes wish I was more diplomatic.
And soft, and nice.
I'm glad you are like Heidi.
Heidi, I too hate to cause waves or ruffle feathers and have a hard time telling people what I think or how I feel. I too have wished I were more like Kelly & Amy and even Katie (in that way), but I like what Kelly said about it being a blessing and a curse. I guesss we all have strengths and weaknesses that can be considered both depending on the situation.
I think I agree with what Kelly says. Plus, I don't ALWAYS just say what I think, at least anymore. There's a fine line between saying what needs to be said and saying too much or being too honest. I've learned that I need to give it a day or two to think if what I'm going to say is really goiing to change the situation or end up making someone just feel bad (which in turns makes me feel bad). Being too assertive can be hard.
