Today I am grateful..

For my past.. It made me who I am today..

That I was smart  last night..
 
For being able to help others..

For another day..

For my co-workers that make me who I am..

06/10 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When I least expect it, my keen addictive mind will try to divert me back toward my old ideas and old ways.  My mind is expert, in fact, at planting and nourishing negative feelings within me -- feelings such as envy, fear, anxiety, or guilt.  The minute I spot any of these poisonous feelings rising up, I have to deal with them.  If not, the more I think about them, the stronger they'll get; the stronger they get, the more I'll think about them -- to the point of obsession.  WHEN NEGATIVE FEELINGS ARISE, DO I "NAME THEM, CLAIM THEM, AND DUMP THEM.." ?

TODAY I PRAY
I should know -- and may I please never forget -- that a sure way to let my feelings get the best of me is to pretend they aren't there.  Like spoiled offspring, they act up when they are ignored.  But also like offspring, they are here, they are mine and I am responsible for them.  May I learn to pay attention to my feelings, even if sometimes I would rather make-believe they didn't belong to me.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Name them, claim them, dump them.



.. boy isn't this the truth..

"..If not, the more I think about them, the stronger they'll get; the stronger they get, the more I'll think about them -- to the point of obsession. "

I was in a nutritional class when we talked about the post-op meds, and the dietician said that they only give us a small amount of the narcotic for pain, and mine is going to be Lortab elixer, I believe... the paperwork is at home and I can confirm that when I get off work.  It's really only enough for about 2-3 days worth, from what I gathered.  And I'm going to do my darndest to not use it, but I was told to not be a hero  

I admire you, Leslie, for asking your mom and your friend to aid you in this.  Many people I know wouldn't ask for help like that, and it takes a lot of willpower to ask for help :)  Hugs to you!

I need to make a punch list I started it but did not fini****  BIl helps some, he is on a biz trip this week and when he gets back I will hit him up for more.  I wrote him a letter last week because when he first moved in he really helped but the past 6 months he has really slacked off!  DH finally started making him give us $100 every 2 weeks so whoopie we are getting $200 a month (he and his kids eat more food than that.  He is a great guy but has really taken advantage of us.  I really like him BUT cant wait to live in a place where no one else can fit thoug.

Kids are 5b and 7.  I have them clean their own room and toty room.  they are doing an OK job of it.  The 7 year old also unloads the dishwasher.  I am not a mom that lets them get away with doing nothing that is for sure.

I am feeling better tonight (too many carbs but just enough Margeritas LOL)  Thanks so much for the support!

I agree with Margo. Start DELEGATING!
