This is when I tell myself, "I will NOT do this EVER AGAIN. Its Too Much, I'm Too Stressed. This is the LAST TIME!... {Until the next holiday/ family event}"
Why IS it, that this situation keeps REPEATING itself?!...
Answer: Because I let it.
Simple as that. I hate the truth of it, but that's all it is. I LET it happen. I can actually say NO any time I want to... but I don't. Between all the things I WANT to do, the things I NEED to do, and the things I "SHOULD" do, I am constantly overbooked. I have been trained to say "yes", programmed to agree, and raised to have a sense of duty toward both family and commitments.

My weekend went on to have more stressful moments... (totally avoidable with boundaries and limiting decisions about what to take on, but yeah).
