Even SuperMoms Have Their Days

     You have all met Gage?  He is my four year old, and he can be a handful!  I have been working on my consistency skills with Gage, meaning when I say NO I mean NO.  Well today I had said no quite a lot, and I had to do time outs almost all morning and afternoon long and I was at my wits end.  I don't like spanking.  I am not against a swat on the bum, but I prefer to use time outs because spanking does not work for my children. 

     You see Gage wanted a glass of water after he chugged the glass of juice I handed him.  I said "No, you just had some juice, now wait a bit and Ill get you a glass of water."  He preceded to try to take the glass of water I was drinking out of my hand saying, "Give me your water, NOW!"  What I did next was emotional, it wasn't exactly right, but I had a good giggle and I think he learnt his lesson.

     I took that glass of water in my hand and splashed the water right in his direction, soaking him in the water he screamingly demanded that I give him.

     So I gave it to him all right!

    No, this is not a tip of the day.  I just felt like baring my faults at the moment, so that you can see that we are all human, and sometimes our emotions get the better of us.  I think next time Ill take a deep breath and ignore the nasty screaming, but today I had my moment.  I'm ready to move on.

     On a brighter note, I've just started trying out all the new Greek Yogurts available and my consensus is... they are all disgusting!  So in order to get past the taste and receive the benefits I have been making smoothies with vanilla Greek yogurt.  I add Naked juice and whole fruits to the yogurt and put it all in a blender, SOOO good and always fat free!  Not to mention my favorite Naked brand juice is Blue Machine and it has 7 grams of fiber per serving and great benefits like 100% of the daily value of B vitamins.  Yes, and by the way, always buy the vanilla flavored Greek yogurt or its like putting thick sour cream in your smoothie... eeewww!  The calories in Dannons Greek Yogurt is 110 and no fat.  Let me know if you try it, I always down one after my morning or afternoon workouts.
