No really it has been lovely to have them here but to be honest extra tiring. Tomorrow afternoon they will go back to their daddy.

Understood what you said 
the older one is quite independent, makes her breakfasts etc and if I pay her little extra, walks the dog sometimes or looks after her little sister, but usually it ends up in a fight. The fights and younger one’s melt downs are the hardest part

In early sobriety I oftentimes thought about all the time I wasted, drunk, passed out, or hungover. What I regretted most was all the goodnight hugs and kisses from my little girl, that I missed, because I was passed out. What made me especially sad was realizing that I only get a certain number of moments like this. Ine day she will be grown and on her own, and I won’t get those hugs.
Can’t get them back, but what I can do is never miss another and to double-up whenever possible. To do this, I must stay sober.

Hey Y-S, hows things. My kids are 13 and 10 and I’ve made a point to tuck them both in each night. It’s been it’s own reward to see how the relationship has grown. Each in their own way have grown closer to me in sobriety, a gift that I dont take lightly…I’m sure you know the feeling…

I do, and it’s one of the best things amongst so many good things, about sobriety.

As you predicted Geoff, a few snafus with plumbing (bad cartridge in a new shower fixture, bad hose connection in new sink faucet, tile guys covered access panel for water shut off with tiles!). But all that is sorted out now…so I’ll soon be taking a shower after 2 grueling days of sweat and no shower Lol…last step is electrician tomorrow but nothing urgent
