The Kids are sick...again. It's the throw-ups this time. Which is a big part of why I am not posting this until half a day late.
I was able to go to my CoDA meeting Monday night, and it is such a blessing to find that fellowship with others who know my story. I came home from the meeting to a house with several vomiting children, and found I had the love in my heart and compassion for them.
It's not that I understand it yet, but I experience the reality, that the more love I have for myself, the more love I have for others. I am enjoying that A LOT!
The kids are all home from school today, I hope they will be back at school tomorrow. But for today, I am taking things well. I have been making time for myself, and that has helped me let go of control of the little things. I'm taking time in responding to the fights that crop up between the kids, while I get grounded and make some decisions about how to handle each situation. It's not that it's meant that I have done exactly the right thing in each instance, but I have been conscious about what I was choosing to do. That was a big step in the right direction.
The night went on to be hard but not impossible. We'll see how this day tuns out in the end!
