It's okay to change my mind

It's okay to change my mind a billion times a day.  My kids do it all the time.  Just getting breakfast on the table can be a test in patience.  Are my kids the only one's who change their mind in the midst of me pouring their bowl of cereal or whipping up a batch of pancakes?  It used to really upset me, but now I have a strategy.  Right before I pour the milk into the bowl or add the egg to the pancake batter...I look them in the eye and ask them if they are sure, that there is no changing their mind or there will be no breakfast.  So I finally get breakfast on the table and I sit down to feed the baby and now starts what I call the "restaurant requests." May I have a glass of milk, orange juice..I don't want syrup today...I want jelly on my pancakes today...no no not grape...the strawberry.  Can I have more milk?  I thought I just gave you milk?  Should I invest in a cow? We finally make it through breakfast.  My lesson to my kids that day was "make a decision and stick with it".  Their lesson to me?  Chill out mom... It's okay to change your mind.  It couldn't hurt me to be a little flexible in my life.  A little more relaxed.
After all lunch isn't for another few hours...
