Hilarious—and K Mart blows. Everytime I go in there I have to double up on antidepressants. Ha. Seriously, how do they still exist?

Why having kids is fun: Statements like this—”I got to ride the nonsense elephant with a hat in front of K-Mart.”

What a wonderful post, and an important reminder. “No”, “In a minute”,”Hold on”, “Don’t do that”…Guilty as charged.

I love the idea of a Yes Day!

PS: Thanks for the stumble. It took some of the sting out of having those lovely pics posted all over the internetz.

I think this might be my favorite post of all you’ve written. Actually one of my fave posts in the blogodome. You’ve inspired me to say yes more often.

I’ve got to work on saying yes to myself when I want something simple and inexpensive.

That’s cool. I might have to try that. I say no a lot too.

I’ve been invoking the “Darius” effect lately. The It Won’t Be Like This for Long song is such a potent reminder that before we know it, they won’t be asking, looking or even around.

Good for you!

Yes is the new no.

(I’m not actually sure what that means, but I’m going with it.)

I’ve really been working on the “just a minute” thing too and I feel like such a better mommy when I just get up and do what they want without putting them off.
