Would it be possible to do a Mission Week celebrating denim and chambray without jeans? The answer is nay. You cannot.
I hardly ever wear these wide-leg jeans. They are so old. Buuuuut they are not denim. They are chambray. And that means they are super, super soft, comfortable, lightweight and have great move-ability.
The other day I came home from dropping Conner off at football practice to find my 6 year old daughter unloading the dishwasher. It wasn't super unusual. The girl loves dishes. But it was a little odd.
She followed that up by loading the dishwasher, making all the beds, vacuuming the upstairs, sweeping the kitchen and getting the mail. I didn't ask her to do this nor did I make any comment about getting it done. She just went right ahead and did it. So I gave her a dollar.
The next night, she did the same thing. So I gave her two dollars. I was more than happy to pay her for doing these chores for me and thought that her motivation was purely monetary, even though I didn't tell her I was going to pay her. I figured that Pavlov was in effect after the first dollar.
That night, as I was giving her a backrub before bed, she asked me if I was happy that she did all of those things. I said that of course I was happy and so proud of her for being so responsible. "And," she said, "you weren't cranky." So sweet! Sometimes it's good to realize that taking a break from what needs to be done can do wonders. And leave time for extra long bedtime backrubs. And that works for me.
