1. You are letting go of things that you have no control over. 2. You didn't let H's negative attitude effect you. 3. You are GAL; i.e. going out without kids to the musical.
Now, did you let H know how much you appreciated him? My H once told me that he felt that he did alot around the house and with kids and didn't feel like I appreciated it. Now I either flat how tell him how awesome he is which strokes his ego big time or I do something nice for him in return.
As far as the riding toys, if H wants to get one for you by all means let him. Having 3 kids myself I know how you can get so wrapped up in their lives that you forget to live your own. You and your H still need to have fun too!
I am still trying to get that large check in the mail too! The law of attraction says that when you need money, you will continue to attract needing money. To attract money, you must focus on wealth. Focus your thoughts that you currently have more than enough money and it will begin to flow into your life.
You can also use this analogy with your R; focus your thoughts that you have everything you want with you H instead of what is missing from the R!
