Tomi,

I like that word <font color=orange>acceptance</font color=orange>. Even if you didn't get your way on Friday, you still acknowledged to yourself that your inner child wanted something and didn't get it. You accepted her feelings as well as that you didn't make those feelings clear to your husband, and why. You did well, even if you didn't get your pie. Did you get to go celebrate later? I totally understand wanting to celebrate your victory. Congratulations again, BTW. I'm so glad you got it. Make sure you get that pie, no matter how long it takes.
Wendy
