Preparation {Spin Cycle Prompt, week of 12/1}

Preparation; sometimes the most important thing that you do. How do you prepare…for a test? For running a race? For hosting Christmas dinner? For writing a blog post?

Are you preparing something right now?

This week on The Spin Cycle, write about Preparation any day this week, and then link up here! I’ll share my preparation post on Friday. Next week, get ready to share your favorite holiday recipe here on The Spin Cycle!

Today with a 7 year old

Today, I was woken up at 6:00 by my seven year old.

Today, I made scrambled eggs with my seven year old. She loves to use the whisk to scramble the eggs. She does not, however, feel that it is necessary to eat all of her eggs for breakfast.

Today, my seven year old begged me to let her vacuum the living room. Who am I to stop her? She not only vacuumed the living room, but also the kitchen, while her ten year old sister dusted.

Today, my seven year old didn’t want to go with us to take her aunt to the airport. She didn’t have a choice and came with us anyway.

Today, my seven year old said she was NOT going to eat any meat at dinner when we picked up Chinese food, but then had two helpings of chicken and pea pods. (Little girl sized helpings, but she asked for seconds! Unbelievable.)

Today, I told my seven year not to wake me up until 7:00 tomorrow morning. Then I tucked her in, sang her lullabies and kissed her good night.

How was your day today?
