I walk away feeling 'blitzed' as in a football term of hit and dazed. I've been suckered many a time into baking a cheese cake to sewing costumes, and hard to tell what else. Then I discovered the phrase, "let me check my schedule and get back with you on that."

Make no mistake I certainly could say no, but since I try to do a few charity quilts I decided to do it. I'm usually not happy when I say yes, but that doesn't mean I should not say yes, if that makes any sense at all, LOL.<br />Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25143942.post-15984835869423483812018-02-21T09:08:35.188-05:002018-02-21T09:08:35.188-05:00I had to learn to say no.

She had the quilt kit, she had offered to give it - she should have done it herself and not asked someone else to do it for her.
