Even though it was late, I made a serious effort to get my lab done, and got most of it in..

Even though I don't understand too much.

Music is life.. we each have our own symphony.. and we control it for the most part.. sometimes instruments drop out.. and others join in.. but when the music fades and the symphony is done.. then we have created a beautiful, personal piece. - Me.

I coped well with putting my cat down.
Yay me for not thinking about triggers.
Even though it's truly bittersweet.
I miss my baby.

Even though it's not too much, I did make -some- progress on my CWS paper that I need a first draft by tuesday for. I at least have three semi paragraphs instead of just nothing.

Today I got up at 6:30, made everyone breakfast, had clean towels and work uniform ready for DH, and used written notes to confront kids on minor rule infractions. No fighting or yelling, and everyone was fed, dressed, and out to work and school on time. Then I spent the day researching online how to fix my marriage and heal myself, joined BUS, and wrote a post that ended with a positive affirmation.

It's hard--but good--to feel proud. Thanks for this thread.

this is really yesterday:
i used coping mechanisms, held onto hope, instead of doing something harmful.
