Just Say No!


I remember you. You work a full time job by day and take care of three teenagers by night. You have enough on your plate already when you are asked to pick up an extra shift at work. Your daughter needs to get to cheer at 6:30, be picked up at 10:00, and somehow your youngest needs to get to confirmation from 7-8:00. Dinner needs to get done, but so does the laundry. Your spouse works until 11. Is anyone going to vacuum?

I remember you because you were me. There are only 24 hours in a day, but 26 hours of stuff in it. I felt as if there was no one around to help. If you are like I was – what can you do?

The first thing you need to do is to stop for a minute and catch your breath. All of that running around is hard enough without having to think clearly also. Alright, breathe in – breathe out. Feel better? Okay, let's go.
