How to say no.
When Summer was just on the horizon, I was excited for a bit of a lighter schedule, even though in the back of my head, I knew that wasn't going to happen. Now, with all these great playdates going on with the Meetup group, plus our other friends we spend time with, then of course swimming lessons, gymnastics and Weight Watchers meetings, not to mention grocery shopping, doctor's appointments, errand running and taking care of the house.... I feel as if I've lost my mind. Yet, do I every say no?? No. I don't. I think of how much fun my children would have at the pool, how excited they would be to see a movie at the park or the great relief I get from actual adult conversation, and I just can't turn it down. Once we're home for afternoon naps, I run around like a mad woman trying to get laundry put away, breakfast dishes washed and food put together for dinner. I need to take a stand against myself!!! 2 comments from 2 users

Oh, everyday I have an internal debate with myself - take a nap/relax or work around the house? The former wins most of the time. My brain can't function without a little R&R.
