Timing is everything
Everybody warned me that being a single mom is like a wirlwind especially with a child so young, and I understood, not in the sence of practice but I understood I'd have to pick up my pace and time out my routine accordingly... the better I get at it the more Quinn thrives. Since Tony was always the Morning man with Quinn, It's taking me some time to get used to since I was alawys out of the house before Quinn woke up... I am learning that I can't give him choices in the morning... it's get up and go... don't even turn on the TV or start playing.
Bed time I have covered... He goes to bed quietly and falls asleep on his own. Which is a something that Tony and I worked on for about a year in a half... bed time was never a walk in the park. I'm still amazed when I put him down, kiss his head and close the door... I stand at the door waiting for the wailing but there is none anymore... thank God.
what is taking me time to get used to is that as a couple with tony - I had some time, all though not much, on a daily basis to sit relax and play on the computer... there is no doing that now... so I am adjusting to life as a part time computer junky. Sometimes I don't tun on my computer for days... I figure on nights that tony is with quinn, I can catch up.
so far everything is OK, I still miss my cats and I miss Sadie, right now I think Tony is giving them more then I can. He's giving them a bit more leeway... where as I was always shielding them from Quinn... so maybe they are happier... but I still want my cats back :(

the four agreements - don miguel ruiz's code for life
agreement 1
Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
agreement 2
Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
agreement 3
Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
agreement 4
Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

A life-changing book. Don Miguel Ruiz's simple guidance for life. This book - the original in the series - is widely available. Everyone should read it.
Ummm... regarding the Days of Not Smoking counter????? How accurate would you say that was???? :~)
That accurate huh.......
it's a hair off... I'd say two hundred and some days... give or take.
Well as long as there is an accountable allowance for the accuracy. I would tap it a couple of times to see if it's functioning correctly:) You know how those counters are.
