Nine Hours till Countdown
The movers will be here in nine hours. I'm not ready, as usual. We did take a break to play the "fishing game". Is it okay to let the little one "cheat" in order to fairly distribute the winnings? We have went round and round on this subject here today.
Otherwise for my girlfriends and my mother who lurk here (hey I check the stats, mom you can leave a comment and show me some love every blue moon! "M" not even gonna start on you, it won't work) I'll be updating and posting pics as we head to our new home this week.
First, I have to survive the movers and the final cleaning. Wish me luck! Oh, has anybody made their New Year's Resolutions yet?
Good luck with the move. Even if you're not ready - somehow you'll find that everything will fall into place.
Be careful with letting little ones cheat 'in order to fairly distribute the winnings'. It only sets them up for unrealistic expectations in life. As they get older, you'll see just how much their own innate tendencies are already in action -- and if you perpetuate a penchant for cheating (in the effort for 'fairness in distribution of winnings'), or you create a pattern with cheating (however innocently) you could be creating a monster for her to deal with later.
I say let the little ones cheat, show the older one's how to be gracious and sacrifice their pride. When the cuteness wears off then they get to experience loosing.
Safe travels and moving to you. I hope you love your new home and get settled in quickly.

I really hope the move goes well. Happy New Year!
