Taking full advantage of my Friday 'cheat day' combined with night out

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

Today I chose to give myself a full fledged cheat day: no exercise, no calorie counting. I deserve it, I have been good about my workouts, and semi-good about my calories intake for a couple of weeks now. And what better day than the same day that I also have a night out planned, with dinner to myself, and role playing with friends. I am a little surprised how excited I am about this, but it has been quite a while since I had a night out.

I don't know if it was due to my feeling good about the day and therefore letting my good mood rub off, or finally getting into the swing of things, but the kids were all good for me this morning for a change. No last minute rushes to get things together from James, no breakdowns from Emily & Daniel. It was kind of nice to even wrestle a little with the little ones once we got to school. It's kind of amazing how being in a good mood can be contagious.

No real plans for the weekend. If the weather holds we might take down the swing set, if not we might just focus on getting the house back under control, particularly the basement. I'll try to watch as much of the football games Sunday as I can of course.
