Wisdom to Accept Things
I've calmed down a little bit, realizing that--really--there isn't much more I can do about the debt issue. I really am doing all I can to the best of my ability. Like the Serenity Prayer says, wisdom to accept things I can't change.
Which enlightened me about my sister a little. When she gets into my business, she is getting into things that only I can deal with if I so choose. SHE cannot change it, nor should she. In fact, I don't even think she should worry about it! But if she does, please keep it to herself.
My son & I have been developing a rapport over the past couple months. We still have our moments, but overall it's been pretty good. Can I completely trust him? Not yet. Is he trying harder in school? Yes, though I don't think he's 100% there yet. But I think we are making relational progress, at least. And I'm hoping the other stuff will fall into place.
Next week, the kids, the dog & I are going camping (my husband has to work). It should be fun! They know they have to pitch in more than in the past, and I'm hoping it'll be a positive experience for them. I really, really need this break!
