Get the Break You Deserve


“Today…delegate everything you possibly can to others.”

As women, we often try to do everything. For some, it’s wrapped up in self-esteem. Some believe that the more we do, the worthier we are of love and respect. For others, it’s a matter of control. Whatever the reason, the result is that many women end up juggling an impossible number of balls!

Vow to change today. Entrust your children with responsibilities; let family or colleagues take over joint challenges. Trust your partner to organize social events for the crowd.

They’ll appreciate the confidence you have in them – and you’ll get a well-earned break!

Update:       Well, I did call him the other day to make sure he didn't forget.......as soon as he answered his phone, he said "no I haven't forgotten".........I said "Well, I didn't think you would forget to stop, but I wanted to make sure you understood that there were 2 scripts that were called in at different times"...........he got them both, so it all turned out well.  Shame on me for doubting..................lol

I was kind of thinking that too, but he's usually pretty good about that stuff; besides, I don't need anything else there..............lol   Good thing is that the pharmacy is not too far from our house, so if he does forget, I can go later if I need to.........will let you know how this works out...............lol

You better give him that call, lol
Maybe just ask him to pick something else up from pharmacy while he is there, so it dont look like you dont trust him,

I'm not good at delegating either - I was taught that if you want something done right, do it yourself.........so I usually end up doing it myself -- mostly though, it's not because others don't do "right" - it's because they don't do it "my way"..........lol

Seriously -- what I was really taught was to be as self sufficient as possible, so asking people for help is something that comes hard to me.  

I did do some delegating this morning, though -- I have some errands to run after work today and because I want to get home asap to walk with my neighbor, I enlisted my hubby to do one of my errands, while I do the other.............I'm not sure I gave him the right one, though;  I asked him to go by the pharmacy and pick up a couple of scripts - one being one of my thyroid meds that I'm now completely out of - if he forgets, I will be in bad shape tomorrow.............I'm already wondering if I need to call him later to remind him...............
