We're fine!

I did it! I did it! I did it! "I'm fine, thanks." Well the idea anyway. Saw some (wonderful!) RVing families and as I teased (to moms getting little sleep) that with adopting ours we didn't have to deal with sleepless nights, someone said "Ah, and they probably were already potty trained too!" To which I simply said "No, I wish, but no." BUT I didn't elaborate! I didn't tell them that pee is STILL the bane of my existence even now, 5 years later with kids that soooooo should be past peeing. I didn't say that yes, my first was potty trained at 2, setting me up for the torturous next gazillion pee years of my life. I didn't say my kids have more issues than you can count, oh woe is me! I didn't say anything! I also didn't bow, so I will now... *bows*

Yay!

I did not yell ONCE today. *bows* AND I had a migraine AND the kids were being loud (AND don't forget we live in a small space) BUT I didn't yell. AND my daughter asked if we could have a sleepover together soon, just the two of us. :)
I know some of you are great at staying regulated and couldn't imagine yelling at anyone, but I'm, well, not. But I'm working on it... and it's actually getting much easier... thank goodness!

She loves!

We (hubby & I only) took a 3 day road trip & left the kids to be happily spoiled by the grands. They had a ball of course, but I noticed Em being happier than usual to see us & even clingy. Tonight she sat at the table eating a piece of cake & said...
Dad, I've decided something. I like living in an RV. It's cozy & close & we're more together & I like that.
My heart swelled & my jaw did NOT drop (that was hard). I helped her put words to it & said that sounds like you're feeling love & you like it. THEN before she could (would) object & play the "No I hate love" game, I said & you like sugar too isn't this cake yummy?
Score: 1 for everyone tonight!
