Must be something in the air! I spent several days cleaning my junk room. I had 8 bags of clothes to donate to St. Vincent de Paul when I was done and a beautiful new, clean room. Now I just need some paint and some more energy to finish the task. You are doing very well with your not smoking. A few little slips does not a failure make. You got right back on your program and admitted your slips, that speaks volumes for your character. You are really doing this and I am confident that soon, there will be no slips! I AM sure your kids are very proud of your struggles, efforts and triumphs and they should BE! SMOKEFREE MOM ROCKS! BE WELL.
