I'm behind already!

Yesterday was a rough one, mood-wise, for me. It was tough to find the gratitude, and I got really busy last night, so I'm making up some time. One thing I was grateful for? Coffee. Caffeine. Nothing awe-inspiring there, just coffee. Maybe it's psychological, lol, but it helps.

 

So, I completely intended to include this in a previous post, and I remember writing it, but the blogger app doesn't like to save drafts often enough. So I'm including it here.

 

Part of what got me away from focusing so intently on the numbers on the scale? My fiancée making sure I knew that I was beautiful, no matter what a slab of glass on my bathroom floor told me. Do I still weigh myself? Yeah. It's a habit. But it doesn't upset me if my weight fluctuates. I'm grateful that I am with someone who sees beauty in health. Not in how I fit into the clothing I wore when we met.

 

I'm also grateful for the wonderful people who also call my daughter family. We had to drive 2.5 hours away for an appointment that turned out to be pointless (hence my frustration), and I am so glad that I had someone who was able to watch my daughter and where I know she is loved just as much as she is at our house. Yes, we could have brought her. But keeping her in a car for 5 hours? Misery. When we went through several babysitters when my daughter was so little, I thought it was a bad thing. I thought "it's not fair" because so many people I know have found great sitters right off the bat and stayed with them for years. But when we found Tiff and her family, I'm glad the others didn't work out. Aine loves those girls like sisters, and they live in the school district I would like to move to, and this is the next best thing to having family in the area that I trust 100% with the health and happiness of my daughter while she is there. Thank you guys.

 

BFFs forever
