Day 6 - RAK begins at home

It's hard not to feel the RAK when your kids are sick. For Day 6..and really Day 6 - Day 16..I've been extra kind to my kids. I'm usually a good mom, but on some days, I get stressed out and get upset with my children for fighting. I think my parents secretly wished that I would get some sort of payback for all those fights in the backseat of the car with my brother. It was seriously his fault that we got into those fights. You see there was an imaginary line that I drew and he always crossed it..with his fingers, his legs, his hands..his face. Most of the fights were verbal, but every now and then..and I'm ashamed to admit this, I got a nice swat in there. So..I think this is one of those Karma things, right? So for Day 6 RAK..I was extra kind to my kids while they were sick and while I was sick. Although I hate having really bad colds, I gotta say, our family really connected during this cold..we bonded as we shared the same tissue box, fought less as the kids got to play video/computer games and ate dinner together...on the couch while watching t.v. so that my daughter would stop coughing all over my dinner plate because no one else would sit across from her. I hope we can keep up the RAK at our home between all of us, even when we're sitting back at the dinner table together and playing a whole lot less video and computer games..oh yeah, and watching less reruns of Pair of Kings, Phineas and Ferb and Big Time Rush. Seriously, I think I know all of the lines for some of those episodes. Until tomorrow..try and create a little bit of RAK in your home...even during those stressful days.
