Herculan Effort

Step One is to meditate.
still not having much luck with this
I need to look up some meditation guides online

Step Two is to identify 3 new things I'm grateful for:
a. a husband who says he's sorry and means it
b. sugar free gum
c. sleep

Step Three is to do one random act of kindness....
I paid twice for a swap I'm in. I didn't feel like messing with asking for a refund so I offered a scholarship to someone who wanted to participate and couldn't afford it. Instead they are going to use the money to ship a package to a person who is a member of the forum who just had a stroke.

Step Four is to journal about one good thing that happened.
Dh and I got into a disagreement. Nothing new there. But, I was able to calmly say "I love you but I don't want to continue this discussion" and hang up. He called later and apologized for his part. I was still mad but the apology helped.

  Step Five is to exercise.
last night we were held hostage by some 5th grade teachers so the only exercise was walking to and from the school.


I got really pissed at the school, for the 2nd year in a row they changed the paperwork we filled out to make bm the secondary point of contact even though we keep telling them they live with us, call stepmom not bm. BM rarely keeps the same phone number long, sleeps all damn day and is generally unreliable. Last year ss10 got sick at school, dh was in a meeting and of course bm didn't answer, they never called me. GRRRRRRRRRR
How hard is it to figure out that some kids live with their dads???


Anyway, I'm tired and irritable but not really sad so that's an improvement sort of?
