A note to remember...

This picture has nothing to do with this post - I just found my certificate and wanted to PROVE to you all that I did in fact get certified as I did not post it earlier.

I am experiencing a scattered brain moment...please stay tuned.


Good afternoon my pretties!

So, we are getting ready to leave for yet another tennis tournament out of town. I am excited to be leaving and to have some more time off from work - the hotel is calling my name!!!!!!

As with all trips there is packing involved and decisions to be made. What do I wear? Will this fit? Do I need to take extras?

The problem with packing in my household is that there are two additional females with their own opinions.

My 12 and 15 year old daughters are almost as ridiculous as I USED to be! (actually, I learned from them how NOT to be anymore...)

Nothing fits - or it will not fit right after I eat - or I don't want those kind of tan lines - it just goes on and on!

Finally I sat them down and reiterated some of the Secret's Law of Attraction stuff - which by the way, was met with rolling eyes and accommodating nods.

"When you look at yourself and feel dissatisfaction about any part of you, you will continue to attract feelings of dissatisfaction, because the law mirrors back to you exactly what you are holding inside. Be in awe and wonder at the magnificence of you!"

My little speech didn't work, because they resumed (behind their bedroom door - like I couldn't hear...) with "that skirt is too short, too big, not the right color - that shirt is too tight, too big, blah, blah, blah!"

I mean really people - it doesn't get anymore clearer than what I just wrote - right?

I finally told them that I was going to make them play in mu mu dresses to ensure the coverage of all the areas that they were just griping about!

That suggestion didn't work....

So I offered to take them to the school so they could run 5 miles.

That one didn't work either...but it made them laugh!

So here is a note to remember...when you have children, buy them only 5 outfits at the beginning of each school year and you won't have to fight or argue over what fits - they will naturally (subconsciously) stay at the weight needed to fit into those 5 outfits!

Of course this is MY theory.

I should have thought of this sooner as it appears I have passed on my clothing sickness to my daughters - as a result of buying new clothes instead of doing laundry.

Any Therapist out there?
