And you seem to do it well. However, as you noted, you may not be giving yourself enough of that time. I love seeing babies and new little families forming. Hope you're feeling better and getting a little bit of down time when you can.Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-63272607768074558312011-10-29T13:05:54.025-05:002011-10-29T13:05:54.025-05:00I tend to overschedule myself---and jam pack my sc...I tend to overschedule myself---and jam pack my schedule (I actually just wrote about THAT today on MY blog)---but then I usually take a week or two to recoop. For me--it works. I need the "busy" time to accomplish stuff--but then I need the down time to recover. For some reason, I'm not good at just balancing it all out over a great span of time. I need to cram---and then chill. HA! Guess that probably makes me weird :)<br /><br />I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER!!Erin https://www.blogger.com/profile/18356959640464901929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-4652180621189274792011-10-27T20:06:08.896-05:002011-10-27T20:06:08.896-05:00What cuties!

Now it's time to heed your body and take a little rest time! <br /><br />I am really into my "me" time, so I am actually pretty good at saying no. I do like to keep busy, but I prefer not feeling like I am out of control, so I try not to over schedule, because I know it will actually make me feel worse, rather than better. <br /><br />But it is hard to turn down a good time. But don't worry, your friends will still be around once you have more time.Kyria @ Travel Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889638304509763419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-14299359873345568532011-10-27T16:58:05.483-05:002011-10-27T16:58:05.483-05:00I am really proud of you for recognizing that you ...I am really proud of you for recognizing that you need to slow down.

I feel like I need to be constantly working and then I relax on the weekends. <br />I think it shows what a good person you are for feeling guilty. Obviously, a lot of guilt would be unhealthy but a little bit is an indication that you care, in my opinion!!!Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-47963822110239655282011-10-27T09:05:08.823-05:002011-10-27T09:05:08.823-05:00i command you to stay in your apartment and read a...i command you to stay in your apartment and read and drink coffee and order take out all weekend!! and anna and charlie are so dang adorable!!The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-58765428132655378072011-10-27T08:12:01.013-05:002011-10-27T08:12:01.013-05:00The photos of the babies are adorable!

And I put way too much pressure on myself for things like cooking, cleaning and playing the part of Donna Reed which is exhausting at times. I am working on pulling back, saying no more and just allowing myself to time to live, to be and relax. It's a slow process but I'm getting there. We can hold each other accountable! <3<br /><br />Hope you are feeling a little better this morning. xoxoNorahttp://walkingwithnora.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-465374721507124562011-10-26T23:12:41.464-05:002011-10-26T23:12:41.464-05:00I have really been working on learning to say no t...I have really been working on learning to say no to things as well. It is actually very freeing to say no.<br /><br />I learned in a class the other day that when we get overwhelmed and frustrated it is usually because we didn't set a boundary. Saying no is setting a boundary. Also, I was taught that we should never defend our boundaries (i.e. no, I can't do that because ....). Sometimes it is best to just simply go with "No, I can't." When we try to defend our boundaries, we often get taken advantage of/frustrated.<br /><br />Not sure if any of this applies to you, but it really spoke to me, and I have been thinking about it ever since we discussed this in my class.Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-72870882385568528782011-10-26T22:12:45.909-05:002011-10-26T22:12:45.909-05:00I am so glad that you had fun with your family and...I am so glad that you had fun with your family and friends in Chicago.

I have to see that I tend to overschedule and also like being busy with fun things, but the reason why I am maybe not the MOST terrible at it is because I WILL get sick if I don't listen to my body. I remember last year Eric was away for a week for work and I went out every night to do something fun (I should also mention my cable and internet was broken haha). I was home by 10 every night but I was still exhausted at the end of the week and guess what? I got sick! <br /><br />Hopefully both of us will learn how to get better at saying no before we get sick hahaKelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-75691305655688533772011-10-26T11:06:02.657-05:002011-10-26T11:06:02.657-05:00I feel like I am pretty good at finding balance.

Or, if you stopped planning altogether, would you look back and wish you had done more when you had the chance? Just saying - you don't want to run yourself to the ground, but take advantage of *this* time in your life, because you're soon going to have a bunch of limitations put on you! I say that, of course, while also thinking, "take care of yourself, girl, it's no fun being sick!"<br /><br />Oh, and we adore you, too ... please come back again!!!!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-54541446079531940002011-10-26T09:46:26.777-05:002011-10-26T09:46:26.777-05:00It's always great to see baby pictures!
