Choices

It's one of those days.

One in which I fought with my daughter over her desire to not get out of her warm jammies so that she could get dressed for school.

One in which I fought with my 14 year old son who insisted that I had the form that he needed to turn in today...

One in which he missed the bus while searching for it.

One in which I had to refill out the form. Reprint it. And sign it.

One in which he expected me to take him to school.

One in which I informed him he would just have to run since I would not be ready to leave before he needed to get to school.

One in which I walked into his room after he left and found the form in his crap pile by his bed in about 20 seconds.

One in which I was very late for Jazzercise.

One in which I would really like to now go for a run.

One in which I could choose to stay here and be incredibly crabby.

But, I'm choosing not to.

I'm going to choose to smile.

To snuggle my baby.

To get laundry done.

To enjoy the fire.

To look forward to a girls night out tonight.

And, quite thankfully and hopefully, be able to make you smile too!

Want to know how???

TMB so generously sent me a couple of her Endurance Bands to review.

Super cute. Super fun. And a nice splash of color that is always welcome in my workout wardrobe! (Not to mention my everyday running errands and doing chores wardrobe!)


TMB's Endurance Bands pass the test! No headaches. They keep all my little fly away hairs out of my face. They stay in place. Love them!

Custom orders are available as are group discounts and to top it all off, she also makes children's sizes! Which is fantastic since my little miss has been loving my Endurance Bands and has been wanting some of her own. She'll love seeing these on Christmas morning!

TMB also very generously sent me a couple to giveaway too!


Here's where your smile comes in :)

Oh man so many choices. How about them all? My 7 year old thinks I should pick one for her- NOT! I think I would go with one of the reflective ones though (don't have any reflective gear)

I like the Non-Slip Thin Black/White Dots Headband. It looks really sleek and isn't too big to be crazy.
