Over maternity leave I got a little crazy and decided that it would be a good idea to take on just a little bit more responsibility. I volunteered to manage the clubhouse rentals for IBIC. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Didn't seem like much work and seemed like a good way to get involved in the community. Well... turns out it was a LOT of work and turns out I had ZERO spare time between working full time and having 3 little babies at home.
So I quit. I hate quitting things. You honor your commitment, that's how I was raised. But there's a point where it becomes necessary to protect yourself and your family. So I arranged for someone to take my place as clubhouse manager, passed on the information I had, and walked away.
The relief and weight lifted from my shoulders felt SOOOOO good. Feeling in control of my life again brought a lot of joy.
