The Thing Is...

I've got to admit, it's getting better. It's getting better, all the time. Ha ha. I know, I do so love the Beatles. But seriously. I've had a great day today. I think it started last night, fighting with my husband. I know that sounds nuts to most people, but there's progress in it. The fighting wasn't the counterproductive kind where we just say things to validate our own struggle and justify our behavior. I think we actually heard one another, and were able to reflect a bit on why we are arguing. Huzzah! That's the rub, when you know you have just wasted a whole mess of time and energy fighting with someone who's incapable of or unwilling to hear you.
Then today I got a load of dishes and laundry done, fed the kids and took them shopping and made it to work on time. I hit my quota for the month, was kind to myself and others and got the job done. I bought a CD off a struggling young artist who feeds himself by being the security guard at our store, but who loves music. I get the goods on Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm looking forward to helping my bff move tomorrow, and hanging out in the D. I hope I can get to Tai Chi on time, too. The Garden Resource Program called and said come and get some free flowers tomorrow. Yay! And Wednesday I work a short day, then have Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Thursday is our second session of marriage counseling, which I feel very hopeful about. Then the annual Fourth of July party at my good friend's house. Yippee! Friday I'll probably clean and stuff, then go to a drum circle at church at night. Saturday and Sunday are family days. We'll just hang out, work out, cut the grass and play, ride bikes and all that good stuff. I look forward to going back to work on Monday. Isn't life amazing? Who would have ever thought I'd be saying I was looking forward to going to work?? I've got to admit it's getting better...
