    Am I the only one saying: I will do that!!!
    And than afterwards think: did I really say that?!?

    Sometimes I really hate myself for it...

    A friend asked me to make a cake, it's really hard for me to say no, cause I love to make everyone happy.
    I knew it wasn't the best idea cause the kids are having spring break and I have to work the weekend, but I thought: I'll fix that...

    This morning I started to make 'tigger' I loved it, cause I've never made him before. That lasted for a few minutes and than I really hated him... eventually it took me 3 hours (and lots of coffee) to make a tigger that actually looked like tigger...

    Now I'm baking the cake while I'm looking at my sunny garden in with I will not sit and read a book because I made a promise... Bummer...

    Oh no! That's no fun! I'm sorry your day is not going as you hoped. I say just do the best you can and get it done.
    And yes, ... totally been there done that. And is a bummer. Maybe the smile on your friend's face and eating the cake ... will make you feel better?

    I’m a sucker for saying yes to things especially in the past but now my health and job hunting come first

    I hate when I commit to something and something else comes up that I'd rather do! I totally feel you on that!

    Even worse if you commit and you already know at the time of committing that you will hate doing it.

    In the last years I have learned to say no. If I know that I will resent doing it when the time comes I just say that I can't do it (without giving a reason most of the time). We are not obliged to satify all and sundry when it make us dissatisfied ourselves.

    I find it easier to say yes than no too. I hope the cake turned out great and you get a big smile from it!

    I used to say yes to everything!! One of the best lessons I've learned as I've gotten older is how to say no :)

    I'd love to see that cake!!
