I feel like we are so busy all of the time. Doing this, doing that. And at some point, I get tired of doing and going all the time. I try to make sure I've addressed everyone's needs and wants but sometimes it that "one more thing" that makes me say, "nope. I'm done".
For example, L wanted to join 4-H. Now as a former 4-H member, I'm all for that. I loved 4-H and learned a ton. But you know what's even better? It's only once a month (versus twice a month with girl scouts) and it's 2 minutes from home. And when I'm at the meeting I can listen or read...whatever I choose. Because sometimes this mama needs a mental health break. So when she officially joined, I thought "yea! We get to share 4-H together and I can streamline our time better!"
I hope to continue to work on this skill and learn how to say no, I don't want to do "one more thing".
