We went to a workshop today which included how to make stress balls with a balloon and rice. While it was a bit stressful to make, they actually turned out to be pretty decent stress balls.

This evening we were watching tv and the girl started tossing her ball in the air. This got the intense attention of naughty Jasmine.

We spent the next half hour driving her nuts by throwing the ball to each other while she lost her mind trying to attack the stress ball.

The boy stopped part way and said it’s supposed to be a stress ball but it’s really a Jasmine toy

To which I responded yeah, but are you stressed?

Living in the moment – it takes the stress away.
