I feel like I'm kind of just coasting along. I'm happy with where I am for now, and planning on just enjoying the holidays.
The children have been testing my patience (that word again!) lately, and it's been wierd to observe myself flying off the handle, like I know that what I'm doing is wrong and counter-productive, but I consciously decide do it anyway. Not that it's been extremely volatile, it hasn't, but I'm more aware now of the tweaking that needs to be made in some of my behaviors.
I wish knowing made doing easier! I'm working on it.
H has been doing all sorts of nice things for me. I appreciate the feeling of safety we have right now, and I hope it continues to grow. The possibilities for deception are always present, but current action still indicates that we're on the same track.
