Thanks for the words of encouragement. My oldest is back to being healthy as a horse. What a relief. Man oh man was he sick.
Things are going very well even when dipsy-doodles raise their persnickety heads. I don't fret as much.. just try and address the issue head on and move forward.
Before I'd have so much drama flamed by anxiety and insecurity. Now I just do my best, ask for help and see where it goes.
I've been checking out the 'getting past your past' and have found it helpful. It's like Michele Weiner Davis but applied to the moving on aspect of heartbreak and/or divorce. No Contact takes on a different meaning.. which in my case can include writing about the former spouse. So I stop that to best of my ability.
Some things I'd avoid, like checking my email because of a pervasive fear of receiving an email from him. Deal with it, Kathleen, and get it over with. My attitude has changed. If he won't work with me, I'll give him fair warning then it's off to a lawyer. Just not going to play that game anymore.
Kids are doing well. My daughter was stellar in her performance to the point that my hairdresser told me that clients were coming in the following day saying how she was the best thing in the show and knew her name. Amazing. She's really good.
I remember in the midst of emotional chaos I wondered if I'd ever know what boring was again. Guess what.. I've got it.. the normal day to day life. Not boring per se.. but stable, loving.
Oh yes.. there's something about my daughter and gym injuries. Two years ago it was a concussion when a basketball whacked her in the head, last year it was the nearly broken nose from the head whack in flag football. Today it was a smack in the eye from a racket. Luckily it never happens right before a show!
