My Day

My plan for today is to have the best, most enjoyable day possible with my family =)

I will play Plants vs. Zombies and not feel guilty about putting so much time into a "mini-game". I will play Batman: Arkham Asylum WITH the sound on; and when my husband gets home, I will play Halo: Reach and Champions Online without pausing.

I will read books that make me happy--books from my childhood, like "Harry Potter" and "A Cricket in Times Square"; as well as feel good romance novels by Jude Deveraux without ONCE thinking about how I should be studying or getting ahead on my homework.

I will straighten the room we are living in, but I won't let the mess bother me.

Today, I will make a fort with by kids and pretend we are pirates in our secret cove, and we'll let the puppy in to play too. We will make a pallet to watch movies that we love, and eat junk food snacks like cookies and popcorn. We will laugh and smile and try not to fight. I will open Emerald's new board game, and we will play it together, and not get mad.

I promise that today, I won't eat a single thing that I don't want to because it's "good for me".

Finally, today, I will do exactly what sounds good and feels good today without worrying about if it is the "proper" thing to do--I will have triple lemon frozen yogurt for breakfast and cold hot wings for lunch; nap on the floor with my kids; I won't change out of my pajamas or put on a bra, and I will not worry about how it will make my breasts sag in ten years. But most of all, I won't feel ugly, or fat, or worry about a single thing, because--after all--

Fuck you, it's MY Thursday!
