I did get some sleep it's a little early to start my day and it will be a long day based upon that. Today is a min by min day. I'm so grateful that the sleep that did come was good sleep so I feel rested.
Another day begins and I have a lot to do today anyway, sooo I better get on it!!
Thank you again for your prayers and support it means the world to me to know any time I can come here and get a word of encouragement.
Hugs P :)

Ok .. I have to say this whole thing is good for my house .. lol. I know how warped am I? Oh well, it is getting me through the morning with a giant smile on my face. I feel so much peace at the moment. I still have a sick feeling to my stomach at least I know that is mostly because I am hungry. Which I am eating, which is a good thing. The best part about getting the house worked on now is it will free me up for Monday when the kids go to school and I can focus on First Thing First.
It's a very busy day and that is good, it's probably a good thing all this came to a head over the weekend because I have been distracted with other things. Monday will be kind of hard to be alone at the house. That's tomorrow and I know I have program and thank you God I have a meeting tonight which I will be there with bells on big time.
I've been so neglectful about taking care of me and this has forced the issue that I better get to the dr it is so important now more than ever I am healthy in body, mind and spirit. It also means lots of exercising I'm hoping to get our Y membership back at this point. I need that during the day again more than ever. Plus it will be good for the kids too and that's important for them as well. I have to really focus on not over scheduling and finding one thing and sticking to that.
I may ramble, bare with me it will pass .. har har .. hugs P :)

I think you are amazing. I am so, so sorry you are having to go through this pain (I read your earlier post), but I am so glad that you have so much program and recovery to help get you through this. I love your use of "First things first". You are really putting the program into action, and you and your children will be ok. You have such a loving, kind, and supportive spirit, and you deserve the beauty that each day has to offer. Sending you so much support!
Ramble on! but, you're not rambling- I see you diving deeper and taking care of yourself, one foot in front of the other, doing the next right thing. My perception is that you have an amazing clarity despite your being traumatized by a big shock. I have also found that exercising, yoga, meditation have made me feel more centered- and when I'm feeling off-kilter, I try and increase the amount or intensity... all a work in progress.
When experiencing similar events as you, I have been told that it is a blessing. I didn't see it at the time but now I am realizing that things happened this way for a reason. I'm still in the process of rebuilding my life, and while it's challenging, I am realizing that I've opened myself to some pretty cool opportunities. It's a struggle for me to remain focused (I am aware I use distraction in attempts to avoid painful feelings- sometimes it's a good thing and many times it isn't); I'm trying to strengthen my relationship with God and listen for answers regarding my next steps.
Sending prayers for you to find wisdom and root in serenity.
¨Ok .. I have to say this whole thing is good for my house .. lol.¨ Pushka, I'm glad to see that you haven't lost your sense of humor and that you can find some good in a bad situation. Sleep is a wonderful thing! I'm glad you got some last night and hope you get more tonight. You are in my thoughts. Take care of you.
I'm really concerned about the kids at the moment. Some of the realities are starting to check in with our oldest kiddo. She's such an amazing kiddo. Well both the kids are however the youngest knows something isn't right however he's so young it hasn't clicked.
It was so wonderful to go to meeting tonight. I'm ready for a good night sleep.
Hugs P :)
