Can I NOT make any decision for once?

I don't want to chose what they will wear today. 

I don't want to analyse the weather to decide if it is too hot for jeans or too cold for a short sleeve tee shirt.

I don't want to tell my husband which shirt to wear with these trousers or if he shoud wear a tie with it.

I don't want to decide what to eat and if they shoud have pasta or mash for dinner 

I don't want to make sure I balanced their food intake for the day.

I don't want to think of what goes in the day bag for a day out and if they should have plain water or juice in their beakers.

I don't want to make sure everyone had a pee before we leave the house.

I don't want to check how much money we have sitting (or missing) in our account.

I don't want to say whether it is sensible to buy a new pair of shoes.

I don't want to tell someone to put the dishwasher on because it is full.

For once I want to close my eyes and go with the flow. I want someone to take me by the hand and tell me what to do. 

I want to go somewhere with my eyes shut and not having to book the table or organise the babysitter.

I want to sit down and watch TV without worrying that there is cleaning and washing to be done or emails to be sent. 

I want to hear silence for a whole day and I want someone making decisions for me. 

But most of all I want to enjoy someone else making the decision for me.

I want to enjoy losing control...

I SO know what you mean. Hope you'll enjoy the packing for the big trip. Maybe you should let the boys make the decision what to take with you, at least you'd have very funny blog fodder ;) Gros b*

Just found your blog via BMB! It's lovely. You definitely played that one done at cybermummy. It was really nice meeting you. And I know exactly what you mean about losing control. Why do we always have to be in charge of everything?

[Magic Mummy]

I know EXACTLY what you mean - just for a change why can't someone else make sure everything runs smoothly!

[Geekymummy]

Yes! Some days I just tell my husband that it is his turn to decide what we are having for dinner. I then do not complain whatever he comes up with!

I know scary thought losing control hey?

[Peggy]

Maybe yes, but then maybe NOT! I want to have decent stuff to wear and they have already sneaked in the pumpkin and skeleton outfit! Packing as we speak, or rather it is what I should be doing right now... xx

Aww thanks Heather! It was so lovely meeting you too and thank you for coming here too! I guess being in charge is being in control of the chaos around us... it would be so nice to not care for once and go with the flow... :)

[Peggy]

Exactly! Although I am very bad at handing over the reins... :)

[Peggy]

I sometime do that to, when he comes home from work, I just say you chose and you cook it :)

Yes yes yes! I totally get this post. I feel like this often. Having to take responsibility for every single decision in my household is exhausting. Won't someone just tell me what to do for once!

Bring it on Sister!!! Also, can I not choose the holiday / trip on Saturday / family day out / food to take.

When we go out can I not be the food choice maker? Direction chooser?

Please ? Please? Just for a day?
