I need to learn to say no. I need all my Mommy Mafia friends to help me!
Like soccer doesn't take up most of my idle time, I'm on the registrar for the soccer league. I am on the board of directors for the soccer league. AND IF I RECEIVE ONE MORE EMAIL TELLING ME I SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE SOCCER LEAGUE, I think I'll cave to the pressure. Why would I want to do such a crazy thing. I like my sweet position. I know why there are many people who want me to run, it is for their purely selfish reasons. I know this, this isn't my first rodeo cowboy. I have to dig deep and think about this.
And my husband says that I should do whatever I want. I wish he would just say, NO!! But he won't. His only input is that he doesn't not want to be known as the "first dude". That's kinda funny.....
So for all you joiners out there?? What is a girl to do??
Let's remember some simple Joanne 101 ...
1. I have 4 children
2. They all play soccer except for the baby
3. I have one of those J-O-B's
4. I am on the school's 5th grade bash committee
5. I am the business manager for Rachael competitive soccer team
6. I am already on the board of directors.
In conclusion..It boils down to this. Is President the natural progression of things? Is President the next step to the Valium Cocktail? Should I seek a psychiatric help and ask for an intervention?

I'm torn on this Joanne, because if you don't take the position I'm afraid my hubby will. And I really DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. But nor do I wish that on you, my friend. I think you should JUST SAY NO!
But that being said, I think you'd be great at the job. If you want something done, ask a busy woman. :) (and seeing as none of my kids play there anymore, I have no personal agenda)
Wow, I did't think he would be interested in the pres spot. I'm gonna have to get with him. I'd support him 200%...but I wouldn't wish the job on him either. I'm only thinking about doihg it because I am concerned about a write in candidate ... that scares me.
Oh, that's a tough call. I got "roped in" to serving on the board at the kids' preschool and before I knew it I was "fundraising chair" for this big event.
Hi, Joanne. You probably don't remember me, but my daughter, Emily, played on the same U-5 team as Rachael. I just found your blog through a comment you made on Ashley's Closet.
I, too, was one of those people who could never say "No." I eventually ended up so stressed out from all of my various volunteer positions that I was ordered by my doctors to take a huge step back.
My suggestion to you is to not let anyone else make your decision for you. If this is something that you really want to do, then go for it. But if you are only doing it to make other people happy, then say "No."
