Parenting: Doing The Right Thing?

In this picture Aiyana was holding a little over 200 Chuck E. Cheese tickets in her hand. We played for another hour before we headed home. The pictures were taken with my little Canon PowerShot A540. I carry this camera everywhere. I purchased it almost two years ago.
Me: Tomorrow we’ll go to Chuck E. Cheese
Aiyana: Yeah!
Me: One thing you have to go to bed early tonight. Mommy has a lot of work to do so I can take you to Chuck E. Cheese tomorrow.
Aiyana: Ok Mommy! Ok!
That was last evening. I was up until around 3:0o this morning making sure that I had all my work completed. When I make promises to my daughter, I do my best to keep them. I try to do the right thing. I don’t always succeed. Guess what? We were the only ones at Chuck E. Cheese but Aiyana still had a blast. She could play a lot more games, and she was happy that mommy was running around and acting silly. Oh by the way Chuck E. Chees has coupons that are good until 10/25/05 so log onto their website and print some Chuck E. Cheese coupons.

Aiyana took this shot of me at Chuck E. Cheese I’m tired but very happy
The staff of course loved her and one of the staff members even put on the Chuck E. Cheese costume to surprise my daughter. I know the place
