Fun

I don't know about you, but life can get all managed and scheduled up with activities for other people and we don't often spend time having real fun. Real fun. Remember that? Not worrying about feeding the dog, or whether the children have completely wrecked the house and tied up the babysitter.

Remember going out with your sweetheart or your friends because everyone just wanted to have fun? Remember when it wasn't scheduled? Well, I do and I have to say....that was a very different time. It wasn’t better, just different. We had different goals and concerns. Hopefully, we have met some of those goals and now have a whole new bowl full. I wouldn't trade my current concerns, but I still think we scheduled, familyholic, givers lack fun. So, during this particular ice storm tonight, I will make an effort to have more, and be more, fun.

Cabin fever can get the best of us or even just a stagnant schedule. Think about spicing it up. (Hey, Valentine's Day is coming!)

For the Kids:
- try a special dessert
- a new restaurant
- a fun craft project

Adults:
- date night
- trivia/board games
- beat them at a card game
