Today's Experience

So I think there was one of these posts a while back and I thought I'd start another one.  What have you experienced today (or yesterday) that brought up the 'awareness' that you feel??

I had a couple last night...

1 - My brother and his girlfriend were fighting.  Over stuff that comes up because of life experiences and the ego 'tests' people to see if this girl is gonna be like all the others type of thing.  So I talk to the gf and reminded her to check the ego reaction (she has read some of ANE).  That my db was just reacting and that the best thing for her to do is NOT react to him.

2 - We have well water (yeah that's country bumpkins for ya!) and we "ran out".  Since Thurs morning I have been at home with kids and no way to shower, wash hands, cook and so on.  Think of all that you do that uses water, anyway I'm getting all wound up because dh is golfing all day Friday (with coworkers), camping Friday night, canoeing today and I was getting "fed up".  So last night I was stomping around feeling sorry for myself and realized that I can be as mad as I darn well please but dh is busy, there's no running water and anger isn't going to change that.  So I self checked, read for a little while and then since ds#2 was gonna sleep with mom (because I get scared when I'm alone haha) I climbed in bed and cuddled with one of my babies.  Still somewhat grumpy today yes, but dh is at the store getting parts so we can have running water again - YAY - and Veenstra Homeside War 2008 didn't happen.

I'm sure there's more but it's nice to have the ability to look at life and not make a mess of all of it.  After all, that's life, right?

I hope you're all having great days!!!
