Enough is Enough

When my kids were little I told them that I was a “Rice Krispie Treat Mommy” and NOT a “Pet Mommy”. When they would ask for a puppy I would say that if I had to worry about when another living thing needed to eat or poop, I would just have another baby. Since there were already four of them, that shut down the conversation pretty quickly. Over the years my specialty has become RKTs. They are my default contribution to bake sales, goodie bags, a holder for birthday candles and dessert snacks. I recently had to make a LOT of them for a fund raiser. Seeing them all on the kitchen counter inspired me to capture the image. This represents 32 bags of marshmallows. No matter how much someone loves the taste of these, eating this amount would be a serious mistake. In life, though, how often do take on too much, eat too much, talk too much, shop too much, spend too much, delay too much? There are many examples of not moderating our behavior. We know better, yet continue along a destructive path. Having someone hold you accountable for the change you commit to making is an effective strategy.
