Friday's Guilt Tip ~ #6

~Happy Friday everyone~

(I'm faking the "Happy" today so please bare with me)

Although not everyday is a perfect day and all you may want is just some control and order in your life, I am here to remind you to ever so often let go and relinquish your control and order.  Remember that most of the time our kids hear us saying "we have to hurry I'm going to be late for work" or "I'm going to be in trouble with my boss" as we scramble out the door in the morning. Thus making "my boss" seem like he/she has control of all of our lives.  Remember work is something that is necessary to do, but it isn't who we are, and certainly ISN'T the most important thing in our life.

My 6 year old reminded me of this on one of those scrambled mornings when all he wanted to do is have me stay home with him and make pancakes.

"You love your job more than you love me" 

Heartbreaking!

But that brings me to this guilt tip

~Boss for the day~

When I made Hunter "Boss for the day" (or for the weekend in this case), he thought he had hit the jackpot!

The first thing he told me we were doing was heading to the "Hunting Store" (Cabelas).  So when we got there I told him he was in charge and could go and see whatever he wanted and I would follow him around. Shocked, he paused for a minute and then he was off for about an hour and a half we looked at all things camo and deadly....

Hunter became the proud owner of a new rifle, and I wasn't allowed to buy him anything camo because "my daddy will take care of that, you're a girl"

Hunter took me for a happy meal, and we were home bound for a living room camp out.

It was a great weekend, Hunter was a fantastic Boss.
