Just missed my nieces first birthday because I had plans with some friends and got a last minute invitation for the b day and didn't want to be "that girl" and back out. How do you pick and choose? When do you say no? If you find out let me know! ;)LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955459284555718712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709642354094596351.post-4614680180729024782013-08-28T13:06:08.317-04:002013-08-28T13:06:08.317-04:00really honest post!

I want to go home and see my family, I want to see friend,s I want to rest, and I want to have date nights! There just isn't time for it all and it's tough to balance!

I know it's just going to get worse as I get older, start my real-life job, have kids, etc., so I should probably start working on saying no now!

The once a year party is a great idea... and maybe even not at the Holidays, or even around a small holiday, so everyone else doesn't have huge plans. It will become a tradition... even if it's on Columbus Day! ...and you get to see everyone you know at least once a year!

September is a crazy travel month for me and thinking about adding on weekend travel to that makes me sweaty. :) I love laid back weekends as a way to recoup from the busy workweeks. Piling it all on is something I do often but it only zaps me of energy and turns me into a grouch!

My advice is to pick the friends that mean the most and make it a point to get together. We are jammed pack busy but our priorities are each other and our immediate family, extended family, and then friends. The friends that stand the test of time for me are the ones I can call when I have 5 minutes to catch up or can meet me spontaneously. It's helped me to know that I don't have to be best friends with everyone and I'm at a point in my life where quality counts more than quantity!

You will find a balance but I know how hard it is when you feel overwhelmed.

Something B and I do - we make a plan to look at having at least one weekend a month with no plans. We write "NO PLANS" on our calendar - that way we don't feel overprogrammed. It allows us to then use that weekend however we would like - whether to see family, just be us or make plans with friends. This has really helped us - just a suggestion! :) A Texas Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03315302420494623592noreply@blogger.com
