Tired of making decisions....

So a comment I made to my friend today really got me thinking about decisions that we make....

I make decisions all day, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. What to wear, what to eat, where to go. I make decisions all day for work. I make decisions at home... not only for myself but for my two kids as well.

Well you know what, I am tired of it all!

Don't get me wrong I am a very self confident woman. I enjoy doing what I want to do, when I want to do it and doing it how I want it done.

But somewhere, deep down...it would be nice for just a few hours maybe even a whole day if I could stop the madness and just turn my brain to OFF! Let someone else decide what we are doing, where we should go. Hell, I would love for someone to just decide what is for dinner and cook it. I would sit down and happily eat it, not saying a word about it. ( I know you guys are thinking 'I bet she would still bitch about something, it wouldn't be right') Well, I wouldn't, I would eat it and keep my mouth shut!

How did we as women get this way? I really have no idea. Is it the control that we seek over everything that makes us this way? Have the people in our life just gotten lazy and are incapable to decide anything? Are we afraid to let a man decide something for us? Do we not trust our children to make any decisions either? This cannot be healthy for them. Are we going to raise an entire generation that can't decide anything?

Well, as of today, I have decided that the next time someone asks me to make a decision on something I am going to tell them to make it and see what happens. What could be the worst thing that could happen? I would have to give up control of something?  It could turn out to be a total disaster but it could also turn into something fun, different, exciting, new...........
