I recommend it. yeah, making time for kids is hard with work and also with friends who want my time. It's not easy--I try to cut out speaking but it's really hard.

I lighten my load intentionally. I do most of my research and planning during the school year so I can take time and not feel guilty or overwhelmed. GOod for you to say no. The day will come when the kids are gone and you might say yes a little more. For now, keep time for them. Keri, I make it so I can work less in the summer. I lighten my load intentionally.

Right now I am really bent on moving from a 40+ work week doing something I do not love to something that is me - writing. A few years ago I started my own writing and (mostly) editing business, but things got crazy on my day job and that fell by the wayside. Now that my husband has a full-time job with benefits, I am hoping to be able to make this transition soon. Part of that is getting myself into a writing life this summer and already part of that is saying no to some things I love - namely biking - while still maintaining life-giving relationships and other priorities. You're right though - there's no getting around the saying "no" part. Thanks for the timely reminder. I am trying to find that place of balance in my life.
