I tried to daydream, but my mind kept wandering

[ClingingToHope]

Chicago trip was great. Best yet. We brought one of D12's friends along and I think that helped ... having a buffer.

Plus, I just felt a lot more peaceful on the trip. I have one goal -- to live without anger. So when things started to travel down the wrong path I did whatever I could to get the girls back on track.

The other thing I've learned over the past couple of years is to let go of being in control. I still have final say on stuff like this, but in the past, since we were making just one trip, I'd try to keep us on track to pack in as much as possible.

Yesterday, I just went with the flow and let girls decide what they wanted to do or not want to do.

Couple of texts this morning on schedule stuff from XW. Quick churning inside, but it subsided.

Not sure what we are doing with this day of vacation. I spent a serious amount of money yesterday so the rest of the week is about trying to find cheap fun.
