Sharing the perfect image for today

For all of you, to share as needed:

Can I just say that I'm really tired of all of the "introvert" memes and posts and blogs on FB and the blog-o-sphere?  Guess what, extroverts have problems too.  I'm being a little taken advantage of for my communication and leadership abilities and it's getting just as farking exhausting as how introverts feel dealing with people.   I'd like to just go to an event and just have fun and not have to be "on".

    I haven't seen the introvert/extrovert things on fb.  I have noticed that the leader of my mom group does A TON.  A TON because people weren't really stepping up.  I've busted out of my shell a bit and stepped up.  I'll probably end up leading things with a huge rash on my neck, but c'est la vie.

    I'm pretty good about, "I hear what you want, here's what I can offer to help you do what you want" when it comes to my group.  Then whatever they want stalls, b/c the person realizes I've just put them in charge of doing the something they want.  I get it.  I don't really get mad about it, this is supposed to be volunteer, it's supposed to be fun, and that person just might not have time.  However, when  those same people start fussing about "not as many activities, why isn't this happening, blah, blah, blah".  Really?  What are you doing to help?  How are you improving the group?  Have you offered up anything besides money?  Do you realize I have to lead the whole group, not just your niche desires?  And I've been nicely explaining this, but I got a bit short with a regular last night who wanted to know why I wasn't sending out a newsletter b/c he doesn't like using FB or MeetUp.  Well, b/c I have a life too, buddy.  Get over it or STFU.  Or hey, YOU do the damn newsletter, eh?

    I'm just really tired and a little burnt-out.  I'm taking May a little off to re-group and hopefully be back at it in June.

    I had 3 things I wanted from our group.  I'm organizing those 3 things and opening the meetings next year.

    WORD.  Being "on" is so not as fun as I used to think it was.
