Got a Minute? -Yes.

"make time for someone who needs help"
I was getting nervous, it was already the afternoon and I hadn't even left my house BUT it was time to go shopping! Surely someone would need help finding a perfect apple, looking for the bread aisle, dropping something important...right? No. Not today. Not to worry, I can help someone take groceries to their car...........crap. Its Publix, they have that handled.

Well time to pick up Kay from her visit with dad. Oh, hi Kyle (my ex), why are you calling? Oh my, your car is broken down and you're stranded at IHOP...that sucks. Sure, I'll meet you there.
Ok.......Is this my opportunity??!?!? -Nope. I'm not a freaking mechanic you know LOL.


Then it happened. Kaylee's precious bucket of princesses fell off the backseat while I was driving. Princesses, apparel and accessories were strewn everywhere! Kay was distressed. I told her she could clean it up when we got home. I said I would help. THAT'S when Kaylee told me "No, I made the mess so I have to clean it"............I think I just found my chance!!!

"Well if you make a mess you're right, you should clean it up. But if someone offers to help, it's okay to let them. It's kindness for someone to offer help. Kaylee, I want to help you."

Well that made Kay SOOO happy, she said we would do teamwork and that's exactly what we did! =) Princesses et al. are all tucked away in their bucket safe and sound.
