Messy Broken

I love my messy, broken friends who know that I am messy and broken too.

It hurts when my friends do messy, broken, stupid things. I know it hurts my friends when I do messy, broken, stupid things too.

I'm honored that my friends feel safe enough with me to be honest when they do messy, broken, stupid things.

I'm grateful that I am learning stop before speaking harmful words when my friends do messy, broken, stupid things.

I can't ignore the stupid, messy, broken actions.

I have to confront the stupid, messy, broken things my friends do, in a healthy, healing way.

I want my friends to accept that their stupid, messy, broken actions hurt me.

I think it is reasonable that my friends will have to work to regain my trust after hurting me with stupid, messy, broken behavior.

I am willing do to my part in maintaining healthy, healing relationships with my messy, broken friends.

I hope that my friends will do their part in maintaining healthy, healing relationships with me, a messy, broken woman.

I pray that my friends will have the courage to confront me in healthy, healing ways when I do messy, broken, stupid things too.

I'm so thankful that my messy, broken friends and I are learning how to have healthy, healing friendships.

Celebrating Recovery on New Year's Eve

Image
These are the cakes I made for our Celebrate Recovery New Year's Eve Party. I couldn't find my camera, so I took these pics with my phone. This one was a butter cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream frosting. Mmmmm . Butter is goooood . This one is chocolate with chocolate ganache filling. I had to cover it with vanilla buttercream because it was so chocolaty ! The friends, food, music, and dancing were great. We had a blast ringing in the new year!

Injections Begin

Image
Tercicare sent us one month's worth of Increlex , bandages, syringes, alcohol pads, a sharps container, and a travel kit. It was all FREE! We watched a video on the medication administration as a family. Yardboy practiced giving injectionx to an orange before giving an actual shot to Little Man. The kids gave their dolls shots with needle less syringes. Then, they pretended to give shots to each other. Smiley is sill smiling. We have been giving the injections to Little Man twice daily since Sunday evening. In spite of the preparations we made, he runs and screams when it is time to get the shot. However, he stops crying the instant the needle is withdrawn. He always asks for a bandage (although it really isn't necessary). It seems that the dread of the shot is worse than the shot itself. Tater was very worried about her little brother at first. She screamed and ran out of the room when we gave Little Man his first shot. Now she isn't afraid and had become quite the expe
