YES, YES, YES!!! Decisions.

A few of my favorite things today:

a patient mom to shop with.

Picking out the JUST-right perfect light for our new porch

at the JUST-right perfect price

can put my brain into knots.

And I have a decisive 8 year old daughter.

I needed a decisive person in my life.

She picks out exactly what she likes,

hands it to me

and says,

"This is the one,

let's go."

I pause at her decision

because I'm not sure the RIGHT light can be picked out so easily.

Her father does that,

and I don't know that he's really making a decision

or just making us get out of there quicker.

But my daughter is sure.

And wouldn't you know her decision

is $80 less than the one I am leaning toward.

You'd think that would be enough of a decision decider for me.

Grandma (my mom) is getting more certain

that a decision of any kind should be made

as the baby tosses her pacifier for the twentieth time

and my son

now starts digging through her purse looking for something to eat,

since he has already ransacked mine.

"Okay,
YES, YES, YES!!!"

My favorite things on a day like this:

decisive people,

patient people,

and the ability to paint

so that I can make my daughter's decision

fit my desire a little more as well.

I'll let ya know.
