Saturday I'm supposed to run a 5k with my half sister who lives an hour away. well Saturday is the opening day of my boyfriend/baby daddy/might as well be fiance....restaurant. Idk what to do. Dawn, half sister, has asked everyday this week & called twice yesterday to make sure I'm coming.... her husbands class reunion is that night also. so id drive the hour run & drive back... All with less than 1/2 tank of gas.. I dunno what to do.

Is a half a tank of gas really going to get you there and back plus leave you extra till you can get more? Sounds like the run isn't really worth the drive, plus will bf be mad you are missing his opening day?

That's exactly what I'm thinking... I am just SCARED to tell my sister.

Who did you have the event booked with first? I'd stick to that obligation.

I've told Justin (bd) id be there opening day since the maybe decided to move and open the restaurant... which we moved mid July.... told dawn id do the run like September first... @mijita

Maybe=day

Sounds like he's got first obligation. Just explain to your sister you didn't expect you current circumstance and that you feel you are spreading yourself too thin. She may be more understanding than you think. Good luck!

Sounds to me just from reading what u said you know what u want to do but you don't want to disappoint her. Just call her and be honest. Say he really needs u there and whatever other feelings you have about the situation. And say that you are very sorry. I am sure she will be understanding.
