I love “just woke up” kid faces. My kids look like grownups they are so grumpy they are awake.

Today I chaperoned a 5th grade field trip. But before that, I yelled at my sons and lashed out at my husband and felt very sorry for myself because I'd gotten up at 5:00 a.m. to make lunches and breakfast and coffee and MY FAMILY FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY SACRIFICE. The kids fought the whole way to school, like really fought, with punches and kicks, and I felt like it was probably my fault because I am the mother and almost everything is in some way our fault according to science. So, between depositing my children at school and starting chaperone duty, I had a choice. I could wallow in my own bullshit for the remainder of the day, or I could do the super uncomfortable thing and get myself back on track. Let me tell you, I really did not want to do the uncomfortable thing. Every day I wage war with myself. Sometimes it's exhausting and other times it's not so bad, but the miracle I'm describing here is that my day started out terrible and instead of doing what I've always done and using that as an excuse to self destruct, I actively chose to do something different AND IT WORKED. Today I chaperoned a 5th grade field trip, and I did it sober. My son will remember the experience, hopefully fondly, and the best part about it is that I don't feel the need to drink a bottle of wine now that it's over. I am free. #soberAF #recovery #twoyears #motherhood #soberlife #odaat #wedorecover #wellness #thisisten #boymom #miracles #alcoholic
