What did you do right today?

Yesterday I called my mom and let myself talk about the problems in my life. I cried, that was good... bad timing (about 10 minutes before the kid I was watching was supposed to be picked up - don't worry, he was sleeping during my meltdown). Accepted mom's offer to come over and just keep me company for a while. Decided today to not contact the ex-boyfriend (we keep fighting) until he contacts me (he always demands to know "what I want"...um just to say hi). I called and arranged to have the carpets cleaned in the house I'm buying. I close Thursday and the carpets are being cleaned on Friday... now if I can just get ahold of the pest control guy. I drove to our sister city to pick up a crib I bought on craigslist. I called my T's office even though I was pretty sure they'd be closed. But, I'm having a lot of trouble (was willing to commit myself yesterday) so I thought I'd try to get help.

went to my partial hospitalization therapy group its a step down from the hospital & everyones kind & lots of feedback

Well done everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was pro-active today and I was part of the solution instead of being part of the problem (sorry about the clichees!!!!)

After bashing my rear car door against my house, forgetting the door was open, and calling the tow and auto body shop because the door wouldn't close, I eventually stopped crying and calling myself an idiot. I forgave myself for it and for the fortune it's going to cost me. I then took my aggression out on some downed tree limbs with my chain saw, making cord wood for my wood stove.

Took my daughter to get her hair cut. Cleaned house a bit. Went to work for about an hour (client didn't show). Took a nap. Went to Good Friday services with my mom.

Yesterday: slept in. relaxed a bit. cleaned & organized a shelving unit of the girls'. cleaned & organized some cupboards in the kitchen. Pulled out Easter baskets and decided what to put in them. Helped groom dog. Vacuumed. Made supper. Did dishes. Went out with a friend.

Went to the gym, then to see my psychologist. Got some anger issues off my chest. Bought my wife some coffee and a pastry and brought her - made her happy.

watched my 5 and 3 yr old nieces for half the day. the 3 yr old just adores me. got my hair cut. went out to dinner with my mom and step-dad for my birthday. went Easter goodie shopping. bought a pair of dress shoes for a friend who didn't have any.

Happy Birthday Butterfli!

I didn't do much today, wasn't feeling so hot. Did make myself go get fabric for a baby blanket I'm going to make. Also got stuff for girls' Easter baskets. Chatted on here.

Read (((sundog's)))) PM! well that took some of my pain away ty

Good going everyone!!!

Happy Birthday!! (((((Buttrfli))))))

Felt bad emotionally today, but this evening I went for a run in the drizzling rain and it helped.

Yesterday I had a bad day emotionally, but I still took my kids to an Easter egg dash.

Yesterday I went and spent time with my mom. I went to a 1 year old's birthday party even though I don't know the family that well. Drove to our sister city to pick up the rest of the parts for a pack-n-play I bought the other day. The lady also gave me one of those sit and spin things for free....it was just dirty and cleaned up very well. Today I did not snap at my mom for waking me up the second day in the row. Vacuumed and mopped the hard floors in the house. Cleaned a trash can. Did the dishes, doing laundry and wiped off all the counter tops. Not bad for only being up for 2 hours.

I spent the day with my church family and home family. Didn't complain about having to get up really early this morning.

Did laundry. Did dishes. Grocery shopping. Made green bean casserole and 7 layer taco dip to take to a friend's for Easter supper. Hung out with friend and family. Went for a bike ride.

Went to the gym and pushed myself harder than I have in a long while. Ate a healthy breakfast. Started a diet log.

Had another bad day yesterday, but still mustered enough patience to have the kids help me make a pizza for dinner. They had fun and thought it tasted great.

I also cleared off a messy table and used it to begin organizing my paperwork and overdue bills. Got caught up on a truckload of laundry and two sinks full of dishes.

I've started running again. And I downloaded a calorie/exercise tracker app on my phone which really helps me to be more aware of what I'm eating. I feel better about myself already!

@2muchcoffee- Sorry to hear you've been having some emotional days recently but it is good to know you are still doing things with your kids regardless. That is really important

Went to work. Took daughter to T. Helped daughter with homework.

Went to my Bible study group.

Yesterday: finished picking up the house, called my T to make an appointment and did not have a fit when her next available time is Monday at 3, interviewed for a babysitting job which if I get it will pretty much involve 2 kids living with me. The kids and the dad are supposed to come back this afternoon. Today I set up two more babysitting interviews for tomorrow. I talked with my real estate agent about closing Thursday. I began the process of changing all the bills into my name: the electric, gas, and phone/internet (I still have to go in person and do the water/trash). I set up pest control....I think. I've been taking care of the kiddo I am watching. I've been nice to his mother. After he wakes up from his nap we're going to go take care of the water and after he gets picked up I'm going to Lowes with my mom. Definitely a productive day.

I did many things right today. I attempted to get a quote for a wheel bearing on my car, but the car shop was blocked by ambulances....I also called in to work sick for a mental health day, i celebrate being able to do that, my boss (my father) knows my condition. I also took a walk in the park and saw my friend who works at the conservatory at the park, bought a beautiful new blouse I am wearing ( i got the educator discount since I am a teacher in an afterschool program), took myself out to lunch, (love doing that!!!!) informed my father that my beautiful boyfriend is working on things again with me, in therapy, changing himself for me!! my father dislikes him, while the rest of my family adores him..

Wow, I'm not sure...I got up and went to work. That is really hard for me somedays.

Thanks for this Sundog.

Got out of my bed this m0rning,and stayed out of it till 1am! (been hiding in my bed for a couple of weeks n0w...)

Went to T. Did some quick shopping. Went to work. Finished a baby blanket. 2nd day eating 3 meals in a day. Came here.
