Life too Short to be Uptight!

 These days, I'm always looking out for the win-win as a parent.  Many of my waking (and sometimes foggy) hours are spent completely focused on my kiddos.  Lately, I've realized that I haven't included enough "fun" time for me.  Sure we share laughs together as a family.  Yes, I have fun when we sing songs together.  But sometimes, I'd like to dance like crazy to some of my old jams.  How about some Beatles or techno in my underwear? Or when was the last time I tried to ride my bike without holding on? 

I've been taking a life a little too serious recently and honestly, it is getting old.  I don't like feeling uptight about whether my daughter says please to me or lifts up her skirt in public to show off her underwear.  Manners, manners, manners.  Today, I'm more interested in learning more about having fun.  I'm ready to rekindle some of the fun I had as an adolescent and bring in some new energy. 

Anyone else want to jump on the bed and put an avocado mask on? How about an innocent prank call, anyone?

When I'm enjoying the moment, so are my kids.  And that to me, is the ultimate win-win.

Cheers,

Jen
