how long does it last?
I just took a few days off work and I go back tommorow. I needed some time to get right. I have been negelcting myself quite a bit lately. I am a mother and a wife and I tend to put those things in front of myself. I have been getting sick a lot. There has just been too much going on in our lives and I failed to see that I was having a hard time juggling it all.
It started to show in my health, my job, my house and my attitude.
Hopefully a 5 day weekend is just what the dr ordered. We are trying to clear our calendar so that we do not have as much to do. It is hard to do when there is just so many things going on. We are just going to have to start saying NO, I have not been good with that. I always want to be at every event every time. We can not do that anymore. Luckily I have Jason to tell me or to tell everyone else no. No is no longer a word to just use with my children, I need to say it to everyone.
I am not sure who reads this, not many people reply, and that is okay. Just typing this stuff and seeing it in black and white makes it more real for me. It makes me feel so much better about myself and about myself. Some days I do not even want to get out of bed, much less take care of everything I need to. Just putting it in black in white really helps, much like a teenagers diary. I guess this is the diary of 2008.
No pictures today. I am not sure what kind of picture would even go with this sort of post.

I think that's just what you needed...we can't do it all! I'm like you, I hate to miss events, but you have to do what you do to keep your family healthy and happy. I have started to prioritize events, even b-day parties, which I hate to miss..depends how close the people are if I'm going to drive across town and squeeze it between 3 other events for the day. It gets easier to say no, trust me! LOL :)
I understand....just dont say no to me! I dont ask very often:)
No will become part of my vocab here real soon too. With getting a routine down for 2 kids I know I am not going to be able to do everything. I hope this R&R was just what you needed.
