I can't take one more thing.
I had one of those days a few weeks ago: we were running late for school, when we finally got in the car I forgot the damn keys, and I had to squeeze a good amount of work in between a school meeting and an orthodontist appointment. My phone was buzzing and vibrating all over the damn place with texts, emails, and calendar reminders. Laundry was behind, floors were sticky, and our fridge was literally empty.
Each time I looked down, I felt a bit more nauseous because it was clear I had so much more to keep up with in the coming weeks than I had thought. My son brings home a permission slip for a field trip to the state park and there is never enough food in the house and it’s all I can do to make sure my kids have clean clothes each morning. We have three dentist appointments in a week, I’m refinancing my house, it’s my daughter’s birthday, and I need to get a copy of my son’s vaccination records to a summer camp.I know this is life and everyone has these tasks to do. I don’t think I’m unique in these struggles.
I know if I say yes, if I stretch myself too thin, I’ll be a forgetful mess of a woman who will be walking around with mismatched shoes and probably come down with a screaming case of something really nasty and contagious.. But I still wince at times, knowing I must look like such a bitchy person when I ignore emails and don’t offer my time.
