Yesterday all of us took a mental health day. A day for a break from your routine, in order to maintain and improve one's mental health and wellbeing. In short, we all played hookey.
I kept the kids from school. Bad mom, I know. FCAT testing is this week, and they are a little bit stressed about it - although I am not sure why, seeing as they always fly through these things - and we each needed a family day of relaxation.
Of course, relaxing is probably not the word most would use to describe the Florida Strawberry Festival. All the fun of the fair, with crowds surpassing that of the State Fair.
The kids stood in line for 45 minutes to ride a poor excuse for a slapped-together roller coaster with an approximate run time of maybe 45 seconds. Of course, they did not complain. They weren't in school, and they were having fun!
Italian Sausages, Funnel Cakes, Ice Cream, Corn Dogs - they ate whatever they saw that they wanted. They bought silly toys that will find their way to the trash at my first opportunity. They rode rides until they were almost sick. All in all, they were spoiled. And we loved doing it.

I approve this mental holiday.
You are probably the coolest mom I know.
