Today I am issuing a Mulligan to myself and my children.
We did not start on a good note this morning. After an hour of Kira having tantrums and the struggle of the wills - which I did win, by the way - I decided that it was a good idea to rewind and start over.
**A mulligan, in a game, happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action. The practice is also sometimes referred to as a "do over."**
So today is officially Mulligan Day at my house.

I hope your fresh start works out better then your first start :o)
Yes, Toni, the Mulligan allowed to me to adjust my mindset so that the day would be better instead of going down hill.
We've actually had a pretty good day with no more tantrums.
I'm still not sure what it is with Kira and her constantly begging me to do things for her - other than she wants the attention. The battle of the wills was enough to show her that I was still in charge, I suppose. But it's always hard to take that route when it's often easier in the short term to just do whatever it is that needs done.
Happy Mulligan Day!
:)
Mulligans are SO important in parenting. It's not always easy to put frustration and anger aside and say, "Do Over!"
