Wanted to share my "still" day

With all the court, holiday schedules, newbies, and he is just plain a DB posts...I thought I would share my thoughts from yesterday.

For me yesterday was a still day, not in that I stood or sat still but despite all the crap that comes with the first post divorce/single parent holiday:

I still taped DD's first solid feeding even though it was just us two

I still took DD to see Santa

I still got our little family holiday cards taken

And despite being in my folks house for our first Christmas (and having to work Christmas day) I got DD and I a little 2 foot tree for our space downstairs (thank you Target).

These are things I didn't think may happen, but they did. Still, despite everything else :)

    I sometimes get slightly annoyed BUT I like having someone at home to go to for advice about anything and my parents do help a lot between cooking meals, watching DD if I am working on schoolwork or if I'm sick etc. We've lived with my parents for 1.5 years now and I just know DD is going to get major separation anxiety when we move out this spring.

    This is great!  A family means 2 or more, so you are a family with DD no matter what.  Focusing on what is good, important; staying true to yourself is doing you really well.  These good times will gradually pull you out of the heartaches of life and the bonding you have with DD is so precious.  You actually have undivided attention in these special moments so enjoy!

     I'm currently at my parents' house. It takes adjusting. My mom tried to spoil DD and parent me. My dad tries to parent me, but leaves me to DD. it takes some starts and misses. But, in the end, you find your way. And, it's actually really good for children to be in an extended multi-generational family.
