Recipe for snapping out of it.

So….if you read yesterday, you know I was feeling just a little bit funky.

In my determination to snap out of it….I devised a plan.

1) Make it a ‘YES’ day.  I decided to say ‘Yes’ to anything the kids asked for. (So long as it wasn’t physically harmful…like)

~Yes, Delaney, we can bake chocolate chip cookies for your DOLL’s birthday.

~Yes, Mommy, you can have a little cookie dough (note the empty spot)

~Yes, both of you can lick the beaters (even though it is almost 5 o’clock and therefore close to dinner)

~Yes, Delaney, you can have pancakes for dinner

~Yes, Cooper, you can have strawberries, grapes and cheese for dinner

~Yes, you may watch Dora while you eat

~Yes, we can go play outside (even though we are tragically close to bedtime)

2) While you are indulging in the ‘Yes’ plan, ask the kids if they would like to do a little dance party to “All I Want to Do” by Sugarland (a family favorite)

3) Ask for kishes (and LOVE IT! when you get them)

4) And finally…once the posse is in bed….organize a little (or a lot)  of clutter

It clears your mind (and, well, the counter too)

Mission accomplished.  Happy ‘Yes’ Kids = Happy Mommy (currently accepting nominations for Mommy of the Year), Kishes for Mommy = Happy Mommy, Organized Paperwork = Organized (Happy) Mommy.

Try the ‘Yes’ Day….it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.  I’d love to know what YOU said ‘Yes’ to…
