It is always so hard to know what to say yes, or no too, but it did all turn out for the best, and what a success it was! I too have a hard time saying no too, but I've learned that anything that takes me away from my family responsibilities is something I have to say no to. My family must always come first.

I SO can relate to enjoying helping but not necessarily wanting to be on a committee of other bossy women who aren't really interested in hearing new ideas (or any for that matter).

Yes I've heard too many hens in the henhouse but also that anything worth doing is worth doing well, and I'm glad you did it well, especially where children benefit from it. <br /><br />My life was filled with volunteer work when my kids were young, all of it relating to them in school or church. I loved it but was glad to retire from it too!

I became the 'yes' girl, heading up every school and beach committee, troop and church event you can imagine. I was class mom for the kids every year from preschool to middle school. I am now the 'no' girl. Burnt out. Done. And super happy about it! ;) Your event looks like hit and giant success!!

It's always easy to say no or find an excuse not to respond to such a call. When it's something that is outside our comfort zone, it takes some discerning to do the right thing. <br /><br />I remember what my aunt told me once and it has stayed withJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749963622029128336.post-58916996958023771282017-02-14T15:55:19.644-06:002017-02-14T15:55:19.644-06:00Wow, you had so many good ideas!

It is alot of hard work and long days, but somehow in the end, it is always worth it. I did learn many years ago to learn to say no to some things so that I didn't get burned out with busy work.

You did a beautiful job and I'm sure the children will not forget the day. What a good sport you are, and how nice that people came forward (including your family) to help. That doesn't always happen. I've become so careful with my time. I just can't handle stress anymore.
