Thank you goes A LONG WAY!

I'm a firm believer in saying Thank you.

If my kids receive a gift, it is a given that they will send the person a thank you card.

I've done this with my daughter and now that my son is on the receiving end of gifts, I'm sure to do the same.

It doesn't cost a lot of money to send a card and it doesn't take a great deal of time to do it.

The person took the time to give my child a present, the least I can do is send them a card to say thank you. Saying Thank you is another way of teaching our kids to become great citizens of the world.

Here's a few tips:

Take a photo of your child with the present he/she received as a gift
Enclose it in a card (Target has an excellent selection of cards in the See.Spot.Save section)

If your child is too young to write, help them write their names and write a short message of thanks.



A simple thank you goes a long way

Mean Mugging' the ''perfect'' moms!

I went to the happiest place on earth for a quick run. Is that really possible? Going to the happiest place on earth for a quick run? Anyway, I told DJ "as soon as we're done, we'll get popcorn on the way out." Why didn't I buy the popcorn BEFOREHAND to keep him busy? Well, needless to say, the snack bar was CLOSED by the time we got to the front.
I went over and asked the lady if I could have one of the 5 trillion left over bags of popcorn.

She said, I'm sorry, I can't, we're closed. I proceeded to walk away and that's when DJ fell OUT on the ground and started balling. Full on tears, sobbing for popcorn. **Cue the Calgon commercial. I'll exit stage left now!

I gave her a silent look as if to say, if you don't give me a bag of popcorn, all hell will break loose!! Help me out please!

Needless to say, the lady gave us two bags. I tell her Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!!! Here's the best part---There was another lady there with her kid staring us down and she gave me a nice nasty look, as if to say, "My little Johnny would never have a tantrum like that. Especially NOT in public."

After I MEAN MUGGED her, I should've said, "What is your problem? Why the hell are you staring me down Miss Perfect Mom?" Listen, You better watch it, your "perfect Johnny might be the next cereal (i spelled it that way on purpose) killer and well......nevermind!

Now do you see why I need to go to therapy ONCE a week to work on my anger issues?
I could've done a stint in the metal room for some popcorn. Some popcorn? *sigh*

Question-When was the last time your child performed dramatically/tantrums in public? When was the last time you felt like you were going to lose your mind? How did you handle it?

Why I love Target.

Sure wish I didn't have flat feet. Wait, I might just buy these and sleep in them! I'm sure the huz wouldn't mind!---
HaHa.
