5 minute freewrite 2696 prompt let me breathe

This is my post for #freewrite 2696 ptompy let me breathe hosted by @mariannewest

My sister quit her job, I do not blame her, she worked the late shift and had a hard time staying awake while driving home. She is also raising her two granddaughters. She would stay up to get them on the school bus and the other sister who lives with her would get them from the bus stop after school and watch them while she worked.

Since she quit her job, she has been on the go doing one thing or the other. The problem is that she wants me to do all these things with her, and I do not get anything that I want to do done at home.

I do not like to go somewhere every day, and sometimes I have to tell her to let me breathe, meaning give me a break. She says she wants to spend time with me, and she says being with family is important to her and it is important to me, too, but it is always doing what she wants to do. We could spend time together here at my house, there is plenty we could do together.

I love her with all my heart, but sometimes I feel that what I want does not matter. I know I need to tell her how I feel, but I am afraid she will take it the wrong way and not talk to me. I have to say, when it comes to my feelings, she is better than she used to be.
