Boundaries

This is such a balancing act. I've found that discipline has slipped since Emily was injured and I'm having to enforce the boundaries with both Emily and Tom. It's easy to eat badly, relax bedtime and generally let things slide if you're not very careful. Manners have always been important to me and I've promoted a healthy relationship between my children because it's important to me that they get along. Some things have begun to slip so I've worked hard this week reestablishing those boundaries and things are getting back to a different kind of normal.

This week I've been back at the gym! It's time to take care of myself for a while because I've given so much to everyone else and now I look a little unhealthy to say the least LOL I've started scrap booking to help my stress and I'm loving sorting through my photographs. 6 months ago I would sit and cry when I looked at Emily before this happened knowing that she was changed forever but now I don't look at things so negatively and embrace the new Emily. Some days she's missing. Medication takes her far away from time to time but then on other days she's back and that cheeky grin reminds me that she's still in there. I look at the photo's and smile, I to have come a long way ...
