Backbone

I should grow one.

This week is busy and it's my own damn fault.

This morning I have a briefing for extra lessons for high school students.

This, because a colleague asked me if I would be interested (no, I wasn't), but having no backbone whatsoever, I felt sorry for her and said yes.

Then on Thursday, I have to give another colleague's son extra lessons, unpaid, because of the aforementioned lack of gumption.

In the meantime, I'm running behind on work, cleaning my house, spending time with husband and children, doing laundry - you name it and I'm behind on it - all because I haven't the heart to say no.

I'm not nice.

I'm an idiot.

With no hope of improvement.

Sigh.
