Is it worth it or not worth it?

Everyday Chris and I have to decide if it worth it to go or is it not worth it? We consider all the invitations, events, errands and activities and decide if the event would be worth the consequences of an over-tired child!  Please understand, it is NOT personal and it doesn't mean you are not worth it!! Too often do we find ourselves after the fact saying "that was not worth it"
For example this weeks decisions:

Family dinner out: Not worth it!
Raelynn's LTC award ceremony: Completely worth it!
Evening church which starts at 7:00pm: Not worth it!
Easter sunday church (during naptime): Worth it!
Lunch out with friends (during naptime): Not worth it!
Bathing suit shopping with Cole: Not worth it
Running to the grocery store to buy something to make for dinner: Totally Not worth it!
Going to sonic during happy hour while my child is screaming: So worth it!!!

We have the exact conversations. And as they get older, it sounds like.."Is it worth it if we go there and Charlie throws a bit fit while we are there??"

Happens here too. I have to say (and Mary will vouch for this)that we do keep out kids out later than most but we still have our limits and somethimes there is just TOO MUCH to do!
