It's been a while since I've posted. I was out of town all weekend with no Internet access so I was unable to write over the weekend. I just haven't had a chance to sit down and blog since I got home. Not that there really is much to report on. My weekend was good in the sense we had fun. Awful in the Orange Rhino Challenge. I yelled over the weekend and I've yelled since I've been home. I've had a lot of emotions making me crazy lately. I don't really have a whole lot of time right now to write about them but I'll try to get back on soon. It helps me to spill my guts. Though I think I may start a journal, an actual one on paper. The trick is to remember to write in it.
Well, I'm starting up the Challenge AGAIN today. Lets see if I can make it.

Six Years Ago
This past weekend was a crazy one. I hardly had a chance to sit down to breathe let alone blog. But here I am Monday morning, finally getting a chance to sit down and blog. This was a rough weekend. I cracked, at least twice. And it kills me. But in falling, I was able to recognize yet another trigger.
Stress: I am seriously the biggest stress case there ever was. Because I was so busy, I became stressed. Because I was stressed, I lost it.
There was a lot of good in the weekend as well. Being so busy wasn't all bad. There were plenty of learning experiences for me. And learning experiences are always a positive thing.
Now on to the post title. Six years ago today was essentially the biggest day of my life, it was the day I met my eternal companion. It was the day I met my husband. It is incredible how quickly time passes! I can hardly believe that six years have passed and we now have two beautiful children.
Simple choices can change our lives forever. It was one simple decision that lead me to meeting my husband. It was one simple decision that lead me to The Orange Rhino. Though I am still on my journey to a yell free life. My life has already changed. I was able to make it through yesterday without yelling. So lets shoot for one more! I can do this!

We All Have Bad Days
Sometimes we fall down, but its SO important that we don't give up! You can never fail as long as you keep trying.
Last night I slipped up. Thursdays have notoriously been the hardest day in the week for me for months. Its usually the day I yell the most, or have one of my regular emotional break downs. I yelled at my poor little princess because she would not stop touching the laptop. I did ask her multiple times very kindly. I was yelling before I even realized that I was. It broke my heart for two reasons, the first because my little princess just doesn't deserve that. Second, because after a week of trying SO HARD and doing SO well! After near misses and easy breezy days. I cracked, I broke, and I fell off the Rhino (so to speak).
It was a learning experience and helped me identify another trigger:
deliberate disobedience: Classic for most every two year old.
Though I fell I will NOT give up! Here I am at the beginning of day 8. Starting all over again. I know I can do this! I knew there would be hard days. I knew there was a chance (a really good one) that I would break. SO back to square one I go.
