I'll Take What's Behind Door Number 3 #8

[Georgiabelle]

Nice weekend. Went to visit stbx ILs. I know stbxh is their son, however they have always been like parents to me. I'm sure that will change some, although they've been super supportive.

I ran yesterday and today. Yesterday it was close to 31,000 degrees. I assume what it felt like yesterday is equivalent to how it would feel to run on the surface of the sun:-). Took dog with me. He's a people magnet. He's tall (for a dog), dark, fluffy and handsome. What better company could I have asked for on my run??

Took D to Amish bakery and swam with S11. S4 was very demanding and funny.

Got a text from h asking me to take kids to school. So strange. I used to stress over what to say and when to say it. Now, when I I feel zingy (and I do have a good laugh at what he does and says-frequently) I just remind myself that it is very important for ME to feel good about the responses I send. And even a simple yes, can incite a cryptic response from h. I have zero control over that. Only me. And each day, I can put my head on my pillow and say that I was kind, gracious, and lived the best I could that day. That has nothing to with my stbx-that is who I am.

When I'm out and people chat with me, I'm reminded of how fortunate I am. I'm flawed. I can get a little anxious occasionally. I'm not impervious to sadness or fear. I'm just living the current hand I've been dealt. With 3 kids, a full time job, a dog, cat and hamster, I would say it's a full house :-)
