The Fun Mom
So I was obviously in a bad mood yesterday - feeling down and overwhelmed about everything. I decided to go home and just relax. Got a SUPER big hug from my daughter when I walked in the door and suddenly things looked much brighter in my world. I decided to take the night off and be "the fun Mom".
We had hot dogs for dinner because that's what the kids wanted. Served on paper plates so there were no dishes. Then after that I treated the family to big huge, delicious hot fudge sundaes at Friendly's. YUM! At bedtime I broke TJ's curfew and let him stay up to watch "Halloweentown High" on the Disney channel until 9:30!!!!! (the shock!) and when I gave the baby a bath I let her splash all she wanted and totally soaked the whole bathroom and myself in the process! I didn't pick up a single toy and left the dishes in the sink.
I'll regret the double cleaning duty tonight when I get home, but only for a second. I clearly needed a night off and loved every minute of it!

YAY!!! Good for you!!! I am glad to hear you taking a step back from it all and enjoying a moment.
I am sure you will be thinking,"What was I thinking?" when you are cleaning..... but just look back and remember the smiles on their faces (and YOURS), and you'll realize it was well worth it!!!
