I...Oh boy do I ever relate to what you're saying!!! I am in the 'sandwich' generation, I have kids and grand kids but I also have my parents living with me that I take care of plus my 90 year old FIL lives right next door so we look out for him. Some days I just want to go in my room, close the door, turn off the phone, turn on the AC and just lay on my bed for a few minutes ALONE!<BR/><BR/>I agree with coach, you have to learn to say NO sometimes. I am trying to learn to do that and have been doing much better lately. Last winter I was so over booked with things at church, appointments, quilt class, gym, etc etc that I carried my daytimer with me at all times and I just won't do that any more.<BR/><BR/>You are not crazy!! Take care!! xoxoMidlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-51568122280169533872007-09-07T12:53:00.000-05:002007-09-07T12:53:00.000-05:00Thinking about you today, Chris!

Umm I'm not so sure...I'm in one of...Does it end??? Umm I'm not so sure...I'm in one of those YEARS! Oh yeah, that's right. I should try to be uplifting! Just kidding. My only advice is that I try to keep foremost in my mind that it is my job to prepare my kids for life (and my husband as well, but that may not apply in your house). So, I can't run myself ragged solving all their problems because I won't be there forever to do it...so if they forget their homework, there are consequences. If they didn't do their chores, they have to go do them in the dark. We are a family and we help each other, but I want them prepared for life as well...and I don't want to be crazy.<BR/><BR/>Kristi<BR/><BR/>I forgot to sign in before I typed all this and didn't want to lose it all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-37644989563317860002007-09-07T09:16:00.000-05:002007-09-07T09:16:00.000-05:00I think everyone has those kinds of days!

If you need it, I'm giving you permission to say the word "No." I've finally found something within me to be able to say no to some things that people ask me to do. They might be really good things, but I can't do what I need to do if I'm doing everything. And, they eventually get over being upset at your answer, and then they admit that they respect you for being able to say no.<BR/>I hope you get back to yourself soon, and not be so crabby :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465532203974215571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-76108332572518653462007-09-07T01:09:00.000-05:002007-09-07T01:09:00.000-05:00I'm on that page with you right now girlfriend!
