Trying hard to reframe 12-17-09

I am struggling with remaining positive. This is an effort to try to keep it in perspective.

1) My kids are a joy
2) My kids are young enough they do not know what is going on
3) I have support if I ask for it. I have the means to get the help we need.
4) I am a strong person
5) I can survive even the worst case scenario.

1. Cabernet Sauvignon
2. Hugs with Sarah helped her go to sleep when she was crying in bed.
3. Ryan pooped in the potty twice today - no miralax.
4. Gus comes up routinely and gives me one lick.
5. Mom and Dad are around to call and leave a message about Ryan's big pooping escapades.

Beginings

1. Despite a rough day, I remembered to focus on positive things and re-started listing things I'm grateful for.
2.. Perrin fell down 5 concrete steps today and appears to be okay except a few small bruises.
3. Chuck spent QT with Sarah spelling things with her ABC puzzles, and she got into it.
4. I have access to good medication for a horrible headache. Not everyone can access healthcare as easily as I can, and I'm lucky to have that.
5. Despite Chuck yelling a lot today, not going to the party with me and the kids, being very stand-offish, and angry and not telling me why, I still know he loves me and vice versa.
