Still here and bumbling along. Back from a few days away, surrounded by booze, only to get home and a much loved pet has passed away.....xx

I'm sorry, Petals. Stay with us here and don't give in to any urge to drink.

Fridays are my favorite gym evenings, it will be deserted, especially with it being Halloween here. I will get done before seven and I'm hoping to see some trick or treaters.

I have a lot to get done this weekend and bought myself a ticket to something that I really want to see on Saturday night (evolution of FM radio and rock, including lots of filmed interview clips, stuff I grew up with). Hopefully all of this will keep me out of trouble. Happy weekend all!

so sorry petals



So not having a good day, my kids have been rotten little as*holes all day, I've been screaming like an insane person, everything is pissing me off to holy high hell today. First my 7 year old DD took 3 of these makeup palettes I have that were $60 a piece and gouged half of the shadows out, brand new expensive lipsticks and other makeup smeared all over then my kids would not stop going under the table at a restaurant, then DH found a brand new pack of smokes under my seat in my truck. I'm 15 days smoke free and sober and ready to crash. I'm locked in my room right now trying to calm down.

Perhaps BigSombrero can help you with the last part! And, who said there's no fun in Sobriety?

So sorry petals...

Fishcakes, that sounds like mayhem. Hang in there!


As for me, I'm just moody as $#! today. I haven't been day counting this time but I'm somewhere around 3 weeks. Hopefully this passes soon, I was very much enjoying my pink cloud! Went out and got some multivitamins and I guess I need to start eating more healthily, sigh. Also I think I'm just plain exhausted... between Halloween parties and the World Series, I've been out nearly every night for the last ten days. It hasn't been *that* hard not to drink, but I think in aggregate it's wearing me out. Looking forward to having a very quiet Sunday once Halloween & Dia de los Muertos have passed.

Petals, I'm sorry for your loss.

Fishcakes, I've been there with you so many days I can't count. Screeching at the kids. Stressed out. Feeling like I'm going to explode. Taking your own time out is what I usually do.

Well, we went out trick or treating for a very short amount of time. My hands are sort of thawing out. It is cold, extremely windy so that my hat went flying down the street. Icy snow was pelting us, stinging our faces. I could have used an umbrella. I think we might be in for the night. Wretched, wretched weather!

Thought I would check in. My kids are handing out candy for the other kids who are still out there.

Welcome, twal!

Petals, so sorry for your loss.

Tetra, I never wear makeup and I'm a couple decades older than you - at least! A massage sounds sooo good.

I went to Safeway wanting one of their pizzas (thanks for the idea, you all) and they were on sale. So were the tiny, four piece bakery pumpkin pies. So was the Cool Whip. So, I rented a couple movies and I'm in for the night - too wet out to go out anyway. I toyed with the idea of going to the huge church up the hill for their Carnival, but I'm kinda meh on that too. So, kid movies and junk food. Perfect!

I'm calling my pumpkin pie a vegetable and no one can stop me.
