A Yes Day

Both of my kids are fighting sickness and overtiredness (I don't know if overtiredness is a word...but that's definitely what they are.) Anyway, needless to say I heard A LOT of whining and arguing between the two of them this morning. And I don't know if I woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning of if it was the dreary weather....or maybe it was because I am just ready for my husband, and best friend, to be done with tax season. Whatever the reason, I was NOT in the mood to break up fights all day long.

I considered my options.

1. Sit around and play referee all day
2. Let them watch movies all morning
3. Take them out and do something fun...and get myself out of this house!

I chose option three.

I packed them up, even though Hannah was whining all the way that she wanted to be HOME, and I took them to the mall to play. (Sorry to all you mom's whose kids have now been exposed to my kids sickness...but seriously, I was going a little crazy and had to get them out!) They had a great time running around and Hannah was excited to see one of her friends from preschool at the play area.

We thought we'd grab a bite to eat before heading home for nap time. And I decided to let them chose what they wanted. They chose pretzels and cheese from Auntie Anne's, rainbow colored, MSG, high fructose corn syrup laden popcorn and a ice cold sugary lemonade. I spend a lot of my day telling them "no", and every once in a while I think I should just say "YES."

Oh, what did I eat for lunch? Well, it is a "yes" day remember...I chose the ever so healthy white cheddar popcorn and pretzels. And when I got home I washed it all down with some chocolates and a Wild Cherry Pepsi!

This whole "yes" thing is kinda fun, I think I may be trying it again sometime.
