Wow. We survived our first year on our own. It has been a year of change and newness. We moved in January and have spent the whole year at the Clark Ave Apartments. I still like it here a lot. I can still breath most of the time.
The littles started daycare/preschool. It has been such a great thing for them. With their help potty training Audrie was easy peasy. They have learned so much there and Nana learned also. It amazes me to watch the growth that they have shown.
I decided to stay with my job and just do that. The littles are little for such a short period of time. I couldn't even imagine them in daycare full time every day five days a week. And so far this works for us. If it changes we will reevaluate.
I went through the divorce process this year. It was not hard. We are amicable so it was not too stressful.
Luckily Dave seems to have found a place of sobriety and is able to help with the littles. Will it last? Who knows? But for now we roll with it and let him help all that he is able. They are a handful.
We have survived the ups and downs of Mike and his addiction. We have survived the ups and downs of Cassie's addiction. We have survived the ups and downs of Dave's addiction. I think we are survivors and an island of three. We carry on and keep moving forward one day at a time.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
