When women give away the store

When did this happen?  At what point did I let everyone else dictate decisions for my life?

Today I was asking Cooper (my 21 mo)to give me some privacy in the bathroom.  I also asked him if he would come in from wanting to play outside so I could eat.  Yesterday, I was picking out cream cheese and realized that I hadn't bought my favorite flavor in like forever because my kids don't like vegetable cream cheese.   I went ahead and bought some veggie cream cheese and it was damn good!

Last week I made Bruschetta along with some pasta with spinach and chicken.  I hesitated making it because Rich and Riley dislike tomatoes and isn't a fan of spaghetti in general, and no one eats spinach but me.  But I did it.  And you know what?  They liked it.  Mind you Riley wasn't pounding down the bruschetta, but they all ate the spinach pasta and even Rich gave it two thumbs up.

In a family of 6, where I am outnumbered by sheer volume of testosterone, I'm going to make sure my voice is heard from now on.  I do the shopping and they can like it or move out!
