Do you ever just have those days or weeks where all you can do is put out the most dangerous of fires while others still burn in the background? Mine has lasted about 3 months now. It is amazing to me how fast the days are flying by without getting much further ahead. There always seems to be something that comes up that needs my immediate attention diverting my time and resources from that which I want to do. I am the queen of putting out fires, I could be an honorary fire cheif....A fire that burns out of control can be dangerous..regardless of how much water you have. I am still progressing, but in spurts. I have learned how to dovetail my dovetailing and multi-task like nobody's business. But, can you really dovetail time with your family? I am thinking that the Lord would understand if I tatooed "no" on the palm of my hand. Might not be pretty, but it would serve a good purpose to remind me to slow down, to breathe and call for back-up.

I totally understand where you are coming from, but probably on a smaller scale. I have recently learned the art of saying no. I sometimes feel so bad about it, but it really benefits both me and my family.
Good luck...
I think it comes with the calling. Sometimes you have to say no. Easier said than done though.
If I ever knew someone with a huge capacity to accomplish and do it would be you Darci, so don't worry you are probably doing more than anyone else. I love you to death.
