Expectations

Everyone at some point has expectations. It can be for themselves, for others, or both. We also have responsibilities to some degree. I am the type of person that always tries my best to meet my own expectations. I try even harder when someone else is counting on me. It is one thing to let myself down....I'll get over it. However, I can not let others down. With all the things I'm responsible for...being a wife, house work, school work, etc. I do everything I can to do what is expected of me. I could choose not do some of the things on the agenda but excuses have never gotten me anywhere, even if they were legit. It just really burns me up when people take advantage of who they are and decide not to do what they are expected. It's a double standard. I have things expected of me within a certain amount of time, excuses are not acceptable BUT others can get by with it. People need reevaluate what they are doing and get their priorities in order. Yes, that could mean staying inside on the first beautiful day we've had in a while. It could mean NOT going out with friends on a Saturday evening. It could mean staying up late and/or getting up early just to put forth the effort of getting it done. I am most definitely not perfect or conceded in any way, shape, form, or fashion but if only people were more like me things would be going much more smoothly. >:(
