An Argument ISN'T Just A Contradiction

Thank you Matt.

Here's the recipe for the anxiety I'm feeling.

-A huge dose of stress from many different sources
-Lots of big changes in a short amount of time
-Lack of good organizational, time management and money management skills

I have control over one of those three ingredients.

I'm praying for God's help in getting this next newspaper out easily and effortlessly.

It's time for Heather to accept responsibility and learn the skills to pave the way for a new way of living...within a budget, with some daily discipline and a some ways to relieve the stress.

I need some new goals. I outgrew the old.

How do I see things in Two Years? How did I overcome the problems of today?

I had a conversation with D12 yesterday. I used Shining's words. I told her that her relationship with her dad may not look like what other family's have...but, it's still HERS. I told her that she is free to handle this relationship in whatever way makes her feel comfortable. If she wants to reach out to him, if she doesn't...I will support her either way.

We talked a bit about the grief of moving and she said she isn't so much missing her dad or the fact he was at least an hour away...it's more the house and her old way of doing things.

She needs my structure right now.

The piece that's missing is my time management and structure. I need to plan out each week, day...Not something that comes easily for me...but, it's time.
