Trade Day Tuesdays

I have just implemented Trade Day Tuesdays. This is where you give me one thing, and I will give you something in return. A trade if you will. TDT came to fruition last night as Rich and Josh were over at our house. I was quietly reading in my room when Josh came in asking for me to wash his hair. To which my immediate response was, 'No". I also told him my shampoo was too expensive to use on such frivolous things.

I joined the boys and Mackenzi in our family room for a little chit-chat and of course, to watch an episode of the office. Since my boating outing on Monday, my back and shoulders have been very sore and all day I wished I had a husband to come home to to give me a massage. And then it hit me.

I told Josh I would wash his hair on one condition - he had to give me a massage. Josh agreed quicker than I expected. Either he really wanted his hair washed or he wants me. I believe it is the former.

Josh gave me quite a nice massage.


I was secretly wishing that The Office would end and I could somehow get away without washing Josh's hair. Yes, selfish of me, I know. But I wasn't so lucky. We first tried to wash his hair in my bathtub. But my bathroom is like the size of a closet so we moved to the kitchen. We tried to make a salon chair out of our kitchen chair, but it just didn't work. Apparently wooden chairs don't recline very easily.





And so, Trade Day Tuesdays was officially born. Start your own TDT, take pictures and enjoy.

This is perfect! I will switch and go to work and actually talk to adults, go out with friends and sleep uninterupted through the night. And you can take the kiddo's.....Sound like a plan? :) I'm just teasing I love my girls. Scared you didn't I?

There was one little misprint in your story. The part of where your husband comes home and gives you a massage. They won't just do that, you'll still have to "trade" something.

Diania - in my world, my future husband is perfect and therefore will do things for me without asking for anything in return. Don't burst my imaginary bubble.
