Perfect morning. Woke up before the rest of gang, shower, yoga, our april fit-challenge (man, burpees again…), coffee. Kids bodies are still confused after changing time, I couldn’t wake them up today. Had to play some happy songs on speaker, sing, dance we had some good laughs when they finally got out of bed. Sacha was a bit late to school but he brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, we had some fun, so that’s important.
Now I have a time for 2nd coffee and then I go to library for my Dutch lesson. I’m not sure if I will keep coming to this one (every Thursday I go to one library and every second Tuesday to another), last time, it was my first time there, except me were only 3 men and their dutch level was much lower than mine, I dont think I can learn something there. But definitely gonna keep going at Thursdays. I will see today how it feels. No pressure.
Today Sacha have his first meeting with speech therapist. Finally. We were on waiting list for ages. I’m very curious about that. Unfortunately I must take twins with me as well cause my husband gonna be still at work and I have nobody to stay with them. The therapist said it’s not a problem, it’s just first meeting, maybe 25 min, only this time I must be there with Sacha and I can take twins with me. Well, ok then I just hope they won’t go full ballistic there.
So that’s the plan for today.
Wish you all good day, good night, bon appetit etc
Wow, I am exhausted just reading that! I had forgotten how tiring (but fun) the younger years can be. I do miss it. My son (now 14) had severe speech problems and now speaks beautifully. In fact, when he started to talk people used to say how posh he sounded because of all the intervention Hope the appointment goes well.
I have a 14 y/o too. He’s high functioning autistic, but didn’t say a word before he was 4.
He was completely silent.
Doctor said not to worry, that he’ll talk eventually. And he did. In both Swedish and English.
His brother now 12 couldn’t say R (which is common here since Swedish have a special rolling R sound like in Spanish)
Until he was like 8. Nowdays he mix between Swedish, English and Spanish sometimes in the same sentence.
Still feeling somewhat foggy and tired. Thankful that it is the school holidays so have been having some relaxing days at home with the kids, watching movies and playing board games.
Did have some thoughts earlier about drinking, but have pulled myself out of that. But have turned to ice cream and other junk instead for now, but do not want that becoming a bad habit either. One step at a time.
Feeling good today! Hopeful and proud. Turned down a family member 4 times on the offer of wine. They don’t know I’m starting this journey
Good luck everyone
Not even having cravings but mentally my mind is trying to convince me … Silly mind! Doesn’t know I am learning to shut that voice down as soon as it starts!
We used to live closer to the Netherlands, and the bike nerds we are we would use many opportunities to visit our neighbours and shamelessly enjoy their infrastructure
Especially the area between Arnhem and Apeldoorn is such a treat
Yeah, I love it too. Wandering around there you wouldn’t know you’re in one of the most densely populated countries in the world. This pic is from a biking trip there last year.
2064 days alcohol free. 70 days weed free. Almost tried a Heineken 0.0 on easter but decided against it. Got a redbull slushie instead before work. Not worth risking 5 years of sobriety to try some b.s. plus the redbull kept me going all night at work.
Got a new job at a hotel right behind my apartment. Im fitting right in and they work with my schedule 100%
Anxiety is better but by no way gone. Taking zoloft nightly and im finally adjusted to it. Also been taking vitamin d and e regularly. Just trying to take it odaat.
Much better day so far. So glad I rode it out. No one ever said they wish they had drank last night. So true! Going to read, write and soak in recovery today. And do some normal stuff. I would like to be just a normal sober person. The foundational stuff first. Takes a long time.
A sunny spring day is about to start. More coffee.
we had some good laughs when they finally got out of bed. Sacha was a bit late to school but he brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, we had some fun, so that’s important.
Hope the appointment goes well.
. Have the best day my friend!
and 
And hugs
