Why can't I say no to anyone??? What in the world possess me to believe that I can actually do it all and still have the time for myself and my loved ones? Sorry that this post begins with a rant, but I'm upset that I missed Wright Night and am now posting late all because I have WAY too much on my plate. I guess the Fall prompt is working well because I always fall for a request. I speak a good game at saying, "I'm going to say no this time", but yeah right. When it comes time to actually say, "No", what do I say?? You guessed it, "Sure, I can. No problem." I know I'm not the only one with this affliction. In fact, it seems to be a common problem among women. Why is that? What makes us think that we not only can but are supposed to do it all?

Okay, so off the rant. On another note, I am absolutely ecstatic about cooler weather. I really, really want my longer recess time. Right now, the kids are actually getting into line before we even blow the whistle! Soon though, they will be begging to stay out a little bit longer (and we teachers will be too!) I love those days! Nothing better than taking class outdoors in the wonderful fall afternoons!
