Recognizing Successes and Learning to Enjoy the Moment

I've had a great weekend with my boys. We really have a lot of fun together. I have to get creative with activities on tight budget.

For example, today is Memorial Day, and I'm a veteran. I don't think I've revealed that before. We might be able to do some stuff for free today, including enjoying a meal together at a restaurant--one that is not McDonald's.

Also, I had cheeseburger success last night! I've had the hardest time getting them to eat burgers. They are pretty finicky. But I've slowly been adding in more food options. It's been working. I have to give props to my ex, for once, for her part in expanding their palates.

Discipline is also an issue I've been working on. This is something I worry is inconsistent between my ex and me. I can at least make sure things things are consistent in my home. I've been having some success. But it's an ongoing effort,

My writing in general continues to suffer. I feel I have been trying to find a way to write more consistently for a long time now....

I have to keep in mind I have written a lot more since the separation, I am making progress, and I will continue to do so.
