Today I woke up and get everything ready that needed to go to the storage so that when Dale and I are both done with working out today we can take it. Then I got ready and went to DWA. Had a great class. Christie really worked me out today. I love when she does that. I always feel better. After we were done with class I sat in the hot tub with a few of the girls and chatted for a bit then got out and dressed and went home. When I got home I woke Dale up and told him that he could go work out now. He left and when he was done we took the things to storage that I had ready to go. After that we went and paid a few bills then came home to wait for the kids. When they got home I told them to finish their homework and then we would go to the Y to go swimming. Dj decided that he didn't want to go swimming but go outside and play instead. I told him no that we were going as a family to the Y and he proceeded to yell and scream at me. So I took the opportunity to put into practice what Christie tought me and stayed calm the whole time. Simply repeating that I understood how he was feeling but that Nevertheless he could not go out side. He asked why and I told him that I do not do Whys. He continued and I explained that if he kept it up that there would be consequences for his actions. He did and there for has now earned himself three days of grounding and two day of no DS. I am very proud of myself for keeping my cool and not letting him push my buttons. Now lets see if I can keep this up. I have to say I loved this feeling of not letting him get to me. Anyway Dale and Elyssa went ahead and went swimming while I finished up dinner so that it would be ready when they got home. Then everyone will take showers and head to bed for the night.
That's all for now. Blog at you later.
