The gardeners just left my house and our new front yard and garden are
absolutely beautiful. Why can't the twins just "be good" and allow me
to enjoy it? Instead, both are fighting and yelling and complaining
that life is unfair because they can't go to the Family Fun Center
tonight. It's not fair. I just want to be at peace and breathe in the
beauty of my surroundings. But no....
I tell you friends...right now I am dealing with it by writing about
it. I don't want to go and whine about my quality problems at a
meeting...so guess who gets to hear about it? YOU! hahaha...
Breathe deep Marilyn. Take a step back and look at how my life has
changed since I got sober. There was a time when I was told that I
couldn't have any more children. It was a very dark time. Then, I got
into the solution and decided that nothing would stop me, and that if
it were at all possible...I'd have another baby with my new hubby. I
put one foot in front of the other and after three years...it happened!
I had TWO! I was double-blessed. And I am sitting here listening to
myself complain about them. My little miracle babies.
It's very quiet upstairs right now. I put my boys on time-out. I need
to always remember where I came from. When I can do that...it is much
easier to deal with life on life's terms, even in (what I consider to
be) unfair times. As long as I'm not drinking...life is exactly what
it is supposed to be. Good and bad.
