Say What??

Ruby,
It's been a week and I haven't put much thought into it. As a matter of fact, I didn't remember about it until I read you post. Goes to show you that I've done a better job at detaching than I thought.

Journaling
I've kept up with my mtgs. I am also working a lot more. I leave at 4p and don't get home til 9p so I miss dinner and bedtime routine. This has really forced me to be ok with giving up control of the kids at this time. I try to remind him how much I appreciate him taking on the responsibilities without my help.

I had a bit of a challenge last night when I got home and noticed D1 hadn't been bathed in 2 days and she was wearing the same clothes to sleep. Errrr! I had to detach and let it go.

Thankfully I have continued to go to my mtgs during the day when I can't go to one at night. I do not want to fall back to old behavior.

My dad is visiting and that's always a challenge for me. My dad and I are a lot alike! We are NOT caretakers. He leaves crumbs on the table and spills stuff on the floor. Doesn't flush the toilet. Feeds my kids cookies after I brushed their teeth. Let's them sip from the last drops of his coffee that is super sweet. My kids love it!

Before I was a mess when my dad visits. Now I appreciate him. My dad is getting older and he won't be able to travel as he does now. My kids get to see him a few times a year and I'm fortunate they have a relationship with him.

H used to calm me down before but now I find myself calming him down. H loves a clean house and since they are both here and I'm more hands off, H is starting to roll his eyes. It's really funny.

I am hormonal and find myself easily irritable. I want to get into it with H but I'm working at STFU! Also, I WANT MY LOVE TANK FILLED! heck I'll settle for 1/2 a tank!!

This weekend plans, Fri-Disneyland and BILs graduation; Sat-mtg, work, Step study mtg, neice's bday bash; Sun-work, relax

Have a great weekend everybody!!
