January 5, 20196 yr Author Yesterday was a busy day, and I didn't get a chance to write in my journal before falling asleep. It was a decent day. Again, I didn't get much done at work, but I tried for whatever that's worth. At least I was able to answer several questions when I was needed so that is something. I'll need to find another place to apply to this weekend. My one on one time with the kids last night was a little rocky, but that's because I stuck to my guns. Once I say something, I can't allow any amount of whining or crying to sway me. I don't want my kids to get the message that those behaviors achieve positive results. In that way I was successful if not very annoyed. Importantly, I kept my calm and didn't lash out at the behavior either. I am proud of how I handled it. My wife and I had a nice and calm time together after the kids went to bed. We cooked dinner together and relaxed for a while before going to sleep. She is my favorite person, and that is my favorite part of the day. I'm thankful for: 1. Making another payment on my student loan. 68 to go before freedom! 2. Eating well for the last few days. I want to build that habit up. 3. Getting through frustrating experiences with a bit of grace.
