Our Little Piece of Heaven
Right at this very month/ moment however, I feel very comfortable with the house. Now the older children have assumed various responsibilities and we work together to manage the household. The little ones have reached the age which does not require close monitoring or scrutiny, and they help themselves with food or snacks available when they feel like it. Being sent to daycare in the day, the little ones have learnt to be independent and responsible i.e. simple things like carrying the plates to the kitchen sink are done more willingly now (compared to the tantrums before). I cook during weekends and for dinner daily, and I am very happy to report that my cooking skills have improved- the meals I cook are now palatable and suitable for consumption (haha)... they may even be delicious on certain days!
Coming home yesterday & while putting away some books, I felt things coming together. After 2 years and 3 months I can now comfortably say that I am alright. On my feet. More certain. No longer forlorn. Completely in acceptance of what Mr Ex did & its outcome on our relationship.
This is our home. This is where we act silly/ play/ laugh/ sing/ dance/ cry/ reminisce. There's no telling how long more we will be here, or what will happen next.. but we will stick together and love each other always.
