This coming week I have to get the minutes and financial report ready for the business meeting at church.  Also the women's retreat is coming up and I'm being encouraged to go.  Then there is the Fact that I am supposed to leave next Sunday to go with my husband for three days to celebrate our aniversery.  Finally we have to get our son out to renew his military dependents ID card so that he can be on the DEERs progame and qualify for Tricare, the military health insurance.  His short days at the university are Mondays and Fridays.  His classes are over by 9:30 AM.  It's not making things easy for me.  Something has to give somewhere.

I am not going to be able to get to the women's retreat.  I know that they would like me to go.  Many don't see why I can't shuffle things to make the time.  It's like when you're in the middle of the school day and everyone thinks that since your at home you should be at their beck and call.  It's just not that easy.  Yes the retreat would be fun, and yes I could use the lessons and bonding with friends.  Still, my husband and family have to come first. 

My husband wanted to do something special for me and planned this trip a year ago.  Second we're talking about my son's health insurance.  If anything serious were to happen I don't know how we would pay for it on our own.  He needs this taken care of.  It's not that I don't want to go with the ladies to the retreat, But these things have to take priority.  I know I'm not wrong.  Why don't they see it the same way I do?
