πŸ™‚ Yule-Tide Carols Being Sung by a Choir

HIGHLIGHTS: Against my better judgement I let Tommy take the computer home. Conflicts ensued at his home with his mom. Lesson learned, won't make the same mistake again. Ran kids to get a gift for their mom so she's got something under the tree, something Lauren's lovingly mindful of, and I appreciate that aspect of her character. Ran w/Jen to get food for open house tomorrow. Made a Ruben Strada. She made French Toast casserole. Reached out to Austin but no response yet, but hoping he'll come by (there will be cookies for 'em).



GRATITUDE: I love my kids and their good hearts and good nature.



IMPROVE: Hard not getting trigged by Tommy's tone at times but I listened to some reminders on podcasts about empathy and acknowledgement of his perspective and struggles.



ANTICIPATE: Tomorrow's gathering.
