It is cold out and getting dark early. Pick the kids up from school, brave the cold for 20 minutes in the park, then come home and there is nothing to do. I played with them a bit, but as we neared 6, I was really itching for that glass of wine. This is how it all starts and I know it. If I had given in, I would have had the bottle empty by 8 and been looking for more...
So, on the spur of the moment, I grabbed the phone, found a kids movie playing near by and told them to grab their coats and shoes. We were out the door and on our way! They were thrilled!
We had a great time. Now they are sound asleep and my hubby is on his way home. He is brining take out and wine and that's ok. I can control myself when I am with him. I am sure we will have two glasses each with dinner and then head off to snuggle up on this cold night.
I am so happy I did that and got through it.

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
