I finally finally have gotten through the first week after a visit without sinking into a deep depression.

I had a plan this time. I made a HUGE to do list and truly truly set goals.

Unfortunately I had to take time off this week as my ex and his gf wanted to go away...sooo...I have only worked one day this week and return to work on Sunday.....The kids have had lots of time off from school ...and then this huge snowstorm has truly kept us "snowed in" and I LOVE IT!

I have painted 2 of my kids rooms....been busy NON stop...cleaning sorting redecorating. I LOVE IT.

I actually inspired SO to paint over some paneling in his home yesterday...OOOH!!! Maybe that will spark a house sale...he has a showing on Sunday..

Living one day a time has truly helped me. I can't and won't live my life on pause anymore. It is what it is. He is there I am here..and who knows for how long. But i have to live in today....I don't want to wish days away anymore....my children are only little once and I absolutely love each and every day spent with them.

SO hurt his back shoveling today and I am sore myself from all of this painting...wish we were together cuddling. I hate being this far away from him when he is in so much pain...

Ready for a little irony? My ex hurt his back yesterday ...so he is in lots of pain as well. And he is on vacation...

I wish I truly could express enough how much peace and contentment I feel......
