I have this bad habit of sometimes biting off more than I can chew . . . if you know what I mean.
Take the last couple weeks for example:
~ My boss is on holiday so I am working a lot more than usual.
~ I have a side sewing business that I have been trying to build and improve the last couple months.
~ I started selling Tupperware to try and bring in some extra $$$ to help out with expenses.
~ I had a job interview and went through the back check process to see if they would consider hiring me.
~ I have a talk to prepare for church in 2 weeks on a topic that I am at a complete loss how to go about doing with the topic I was given.
~ The Stake choir at church is in need of more members for a special Easter Fireside coming up in a couple weeks and I felt like I could and should possibly attend and join.
~ I have committed to a much needed program on budgeting and financial smarts that takes 2 hrs a week of my time to better keep us on financial point.
~ Add in all the usual mother responsibilities like laundry, cooking, shopping, bills, etc and I realized on Sunday that I had overloaded myself without even realizing it quite quickly.
Lets just say that Sunday afternoon after eating, it seemed that it all hit me at once what I had on my plate and I had a panic attack.
Do you ever have this problem.
I do so well for a few months of learning to say no, and not feeling obligated to say "yes", or let others handle things, trusting that things will work out. . . but I always seem to start to turn back to this bad habit and before I know it, I am overloaded and overwhelmed with Hubby trying his best to simply shake his head and help me get things sorted out.
Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to going to Calgary to help my mom post surgery and taking things slower for a few days...get myself "reset" and ready to start my new job. (yes, the back check came back and I got hired)
What do you do when this happens to you?
