Lesley and I had to do some serious rushing about today...
And all because we couldn't say "No"!
Do you ever have that problem? You know - where you are put in a position where it's easier to say "yes"...even though you don't really want to - and just because you feel guilty or don't want to upset the other person?
We were put in that 'awful' situation at Connor's respite home this afternoon - and it meant that we had to (literally) charge back 50 miles in double-quick time to make sure that we weren't late for something else!
Ever been there?
Well...after today - I think that I have finally learned my lesson...
"I am the one who is in control of my life - so I should make my own decisions - and stick with them!"
Perhaps I should print out that statement out and paste it the wall above my PC screen to remind me in future!
It's not always easy. It's doesn't always make you feel good. But...if your inability to say "no" compromises something in your life (even your peace of mind) - then it is something that you should seriously consider working on in the future!
After today - I know that I am going to! lol
