I was off to visit my mom and dad for my weekly stayover.... arrive monday, stay the night and leave tues. evening...... While I am over there I also do some books for a business... my boss as 4 companys that I look after. In the last 5 months my husband has taken a new job that is serveral hours and a ferry trip away from my parents and the place of business. ( we live on a boat in the vancouver Island area so moving to a job is not hard.) I have done books for this gentleman for 11 years.... I was at a breaking point of spreading myselve to thin and I was starting to feel it. After reading the posts on here and taking a very close look at myselve I finally told my boss that my mom was on top of my list and that I would have to quit. He was very great. He understood my problem as he went through it with his parents... I am feeling so releived that now when I go over I can spend all my time without distractions with my mom and dad.... who know how releived I would feel with this burden off my shoulders.....I still run my own bakery (I run the bakery out of our boat)but I can work around that. So for you out there who are in my situtation of spreading yourselve to thin, think about what you really need to do and act on it. With my mom declining I want to spend as much time as I can with her while she still remembers who I am and we both enjoy it...I know it will get harder in the future but for now I am greatful that I have this forum and support and great advice on just what is and is not important...
