Asked to Join

Everytime we turn around, we are asked to spend our money or time.
Last year we were totally spent and stretched w/time and money. Looking around, I was stupified. We were frazzled, and tired, and just plain confused. How did it happen? We thought we were keeping it on track, one activity a season. Well, scouts, dance and religious ed are all year. ... hmmm ... We obviously hadn't thought it through that well.
This year, I've gone on a calendar purge. I'm learning to say, "no," to anything not adding to the overall joy of my family. So, I challenge you to do the same. Purge the clutter on your calendar!
However, there are things worth the time. You have to decide what it is in your life that comes up and is worth the time.

High blood pressure Diona! Times that by four kids... I am guilty of having over done activities with Eko and as a single parent at the time, but Yikes! hanging out at home playing in the sand box and making bead necklaces is a good thing.
