Good for you! Celebrate the little things. I wish you'd been MY mom!! The girls' day sounds great. And it's the small things that they'll remember--and you too, it sounds like!
Sounds like your IC gave you some good ideas for goals. I'll bet that you'll achieve them in record time, and they will become part of your life. No excuse for your X to be short-tempered with you; he got what he "wanted," he ought to just grow up!
