I don't have to do things anyone else's way but my own. I don't have to watch shows I hate anymore. I can raise my children how I see fit. I can have more of the bed. I have more money (he hadn't worked in a bit and I was the only one working). And the best part. More room in my tiny house for me and my stuff.
When he first moved in we bought a storage unit for his stuff for our backyard. Now that he's gone I can convert it into my eBay room. I can store my stuff, set up a mannequin for pics, get organized for good. I am excited for the possibilities.
The girls seem to be doing fine with him gone. No bad reactions so far. And I'm doing everything I would normally do. Tonight that meant gymnastics for my princess and spending the night getting 20 goody bags ready for her class for Valentines day. I totally think I can do this! At least today. Take it one day at a time.
Veronica, I'm so glad you are seeing the bright side. It kind of reminds me of that song, "One less bell to answer, one less egg to fry..." After my dog passed I tried to look at the bright side too, like I didn't have to go out in the cold anymore to walk her. It's not easy, but it helps. Taking it one day at a time is the way to get through it.
ReplyDeleteYou Got This! :-)
ReplyDeleteVeronica, I am so sorry you are going through this! You are in my prayers! You have the right attitude, concentrating on the good things and your children! Keep yourself busy, so you aren't dwelling on the negative! Hugs coming your way!
ReplyDeleteVeronica, I'm so glad to hear that you're beginning to feel better. It's cliche, but true- time heals. And I'm sure those beautiful babies are really good medicine.
