Is it selfish?

Is it selfish to want to be at home and enjoy my yard, my house, my down time alone? 

It must be why I am feeling guilty about things right now.  I wouldn't have what I have were it not for my parents - and they need me to come to their house. 

Now that the business of school work is done and I have a week off, I want to do what I want to do - which is tidy up this place and get it looking reasonably good so I can entertain again.  Yesterday I spent the day inside because of the rain and got both guest rooms looking good again - Christmas stuff all put away (I know, April?) - and threw out alot of junk/papers/icky stuff from the fridge; did the laundry; napped; talked on the phone; vacuumed - regular rainy day/Saturday chores.  Now that the sun is out, I want to mow the grass, weed wack, get this place looking good.  Maybe even do some mulching.  But I can't.  I have to go to the Newport News for three days - which happen to be the best three weather days of this week. 

Damn.  When I think of what I could get done with those three days, it pisses me off that I don't get to enjoy them in my yard.  Why don't I just call them and see if I could come on Tuesday night instead?

I think I will.

  1. Wish I had thought of that earlier! Going home for the day, coming back tonight and then going back on Wednesday. Good plan.
