Lacey Graves  Activity # 3

Three blessings

Day 1

            1. I had a good conversation with my partner

2. I accomplished a lot of homework because I was in such a positive mood all day.

3. I had a fun night out dancing- I took my mom out to try to keep her mind off of her upcoming surgery.

1.      I woke up next to my sweetheart, which just started the day off good.

2.      I enjoyed watching band practice at the house because my daughter was cooperative and enjoying it as well/

3.      Before bed my daughter had the idea to talk about all of the people in our lives that we love and care about.

1.      Lunch with my daughter, grandmother and mother the day before my mother’s surgery.

2.      Comfortable expectations talk with my partner about valentines day (and how ridiculous it all is)

3.      Low conflict day with parenting

1.      Mom had a successful surgery

2.      My daughter got to enjoy the company of her paternal family

3.      I had time to relax and watch my boyfriend’s pool tournament to help unwind from all the stress of worrying about my mother.

1.      I woke up at my boyfriend’s farm for the first time; to the smell of coffee and the sound of cows mooing…I don’t think I have ever woken up so relaxed!!!

2.      My mother got to come home from the hospital today. It is so good to have her back home and feeling better. I like being able to take care of her then have her be at the hospital alone.

1.      I finished my homework so that I felt accomplished and relaxed and able to enjoy the rest of the day (valentines day).

2.      I very rarely do, but I decided to put my needs first, over my responsibility…I did this by not going to class tonight so that I could stay home and take care of my mom, and spend valentines day with the people I love and not driving to Olympia and sitting in class regretting my choice of going.

3.      My boyfriend came over and made a homemade dinner for my daughter, my mom and me for Valentines Day…My daughter was so well behaved and it was a very wonderful time.

1.      My mother is feeling good enough now that she was able to get out of the house today and go out for breakfast with a friend.

2.   Most of the day was quiet and relaxing

3.   I got to see my daughter beam with happiness because her uncle and grandmother called and wanted to take her to chunk-e-cheese
