Is this really necessary?

My friend Jennifer and I have coined a new phrase to describe our day to day life.

Is this really necessary?
From Daisy Scouts to driving carpool it just all seems exhausting at times. Are all these things we do for our children and all those around us really necessary? Are there times when we could and should say no? Do we all have to play the game “I am busier than you!”.
Just for a day I am going to stop and ask myself before I go into over achiever overdrive, is this really necessary? Let’s see how much of what I am doing enriches my life and how much of it just fills my calendar.
