Simply Exhausted!

I know I am not the only woman / mother who feels this way. I don't know if it is expectations I set on myself, or those set by society. As a woman / mother who works full time, goes to school and participates in my children's activities, I am exhausted! My problem...I haven't really learned yet how to say "no". When my daughter's Girl Scout troop needed a new leader..yup, you guessed it, I volunteered. When my son's Boy Scout troop asked me to be on their council, yup, again, I said yes. In my justification, it's for my kids who are only young once and I want to set good examples for them. I want to know in my heart that I have done everything I can to be a good role model for both of my kids, regardless of what it does to me emotionally and physically.  I now understand why I walk around all day talking to myself....so I don't forget anything. It gets so crazy that today I got our dinner ready ahead of time (so proud of myself) and put it in the Crock Pot...and then halfway here on my way to work, I realized I forgot to turn it on! Argh....Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Be well and thanks for reading  :-D
