I need to pick up some Sharpies.

I can’t say no. It’s almost impossible. I take on way more than I can, and even put myself in a place where I’m trying to do more than necessary and go out of my way to make things easier on others, when it wasn’t even something that involved me in the first place.

I have too much to say on this. I think I need to write a response on mah ba-log when I get home from work.

Hadn’t been by in a long time so I wanted to say hello. This was a fantastic post. Very deep and thoughtful. And you shouldn’t feel guilty. Everyone needs to draw that line sometimes.

I’m am thrilled to have found your blog. It is rather serendipitous, as I have been dealing with a (old) rape situation myself.

I love your honesty, and I really look forward to reading more. Thank you!

Great post — so true, for all of us. Time for yourself is hard to claim, and really really important to claim. Good for you for drawing the line, is something I have only learned to do the past couple of years, and is a game changer.

This post is beautiful.

I’m so proud of you for drawing a line, for taking time for yourself, for saying no. I have a really hard time saying no and taking time for myself. I need someone to give me a sharpie and teach me how to set boundaries.

Proud of you!

I am really struggling with this right now. I just can’t seem to do it. I just can not seem to say no, I need some time for just me. I want to read in the quiet, I want to get my toes done, I want to TAKE A NAP! Does that get easier when kids get older? I hope so.

Good for you for drawing that boundary. As mother’s our mental health and the ability to get away from the daily grind of motherhood is sooo important!
