And though that *may* not be far from the truth (ha-ha), the ones that suffer are those nearest and dearest. I need to take your advice on this one!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541452148882410302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22738696.post-17866065527207160612011-05-24T07:17:15.346-04:002011-05-24T07:17:15.346-04:00I have to learn how to say that word too! I have ...I have to learn how to say that word too! I have "no" problem saying it to my kids but that's where it ends. Especially when the kids are in school and this room mom is asking for volunteers and that room mom needs 2 dozen cupcakes, and this teacher doesn't even HAVE a room mom so guess who volunteers? No telling what will happen once Ruby's in school too! :P Good luck and let me know if you figure out how to do it without feeling guilty :)Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867438427819234063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22738696.post-45119527851912320362011-05-16T13:02:23.081-04:002011-05-16T13:02:23.081-04:00Learning to say no has the been the greatest thing...Learning to say no has the been the greatest thing I have done not only for me but for my family.

P...Here's an idea: Go get a cheap new calendar. Place a big X on two days a week. When someone calls, you just say, "Let me check my calendar...oh, sorry, there's something on it that day." No lies, no stress. You just get some days to get done what you need to get done! (I just learned this at a Womens' conference. Haven't done it yet myself, but I thought it was a good idea!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
