Day 5: Exactly what I want?

Today I decided to do exactly what I want. Well, at least after 5 PM.

If I hadn't waited until then, I would have told the leave-10-minutes-early-from-spin-class-lady to sit back on her bike and stop being a distraction. I would have been more truthful with my client at lunch: "Yes, you are a micro-manager." And I would have replaced my 2 o'clock meeting with a nap in a hammock.

Instead, I unleashed all that willfulness on my evening. I spent 20 uninterrupted minutes playing and laughing with Charlee on the floor. I made a big salad for dinner. No protein in sight--sorry, Chad.

And then I had a dilemma. Do I really WANT to honor my pledge not to drink wine on school nights? This is a 2-day old pledge (see post about Day 3). Or do I REALLY want to crack open the Riesling I bought last week?

What makes me happier? Willpower or gluttony? Water or wine? Fun nights or alert mornings? Just who am I?
