kj0975, I just had a brilliant idea. Brilliant, simply brilliant. Even though I have a Pro Model flatbead scanner for my photography business, I have unhooked it because I haven't used it much since I went the digital camera route. As far as the chart for accupressure, I could take a photo of it with my camera, then post that.....DUH? See why I chose my name? You would need to be able to print out a copy from this site, is that possible? Later,

days like this are so weird and so rare....no worries in the world at the moment....have been sitting outside with jake in his exersaucer, watching the bigger kids ride their bikes and teaching jon how to pedal.....fixed a big meal for the kids (usually they just want fish sticks only, but i made them all kinds of things tonite).....looking around my house, everything so nice and neat, i'm so proud of what my kids have, even if i don't have much......wish all my days were like this gonna bathe the boys, then have hot chocolate, play dominoes and watch idol man, i needed a day like this, even tho i really do need to be looking for a job more

I think it got in the 30's today freaking HEAT WAVE, just like I said people driving with their windows down no coats I swear we are crazy around here. I mean its only in the 30's people. Oh well. It is a nice fire place night I dont have one either.... Sounds like you had a great day today and that really helps to feel better physically and emotionally.

jake.....jake idolizes jonathan. he will just sit and watch him, smile at him...for a long time jon was the only one who could make jake laugh....i think he'd rather play with jon than me, lol. at first i thought it was just cause jon was the youngest, but it hit me today....jonathan talked to him when i was pregnant more than anyone. jon was always kissing my belly and saying "hi jakey, it's jonathan" and stuff. i think the baby remembers his voice he is also learning to get his way by crying. he is at that age where you do something like twenty times then stop, but he cries for more??? for example, he has one of those little ride on cars that comes to about my knee....he can't walk yet, so i have to push him on it, bent all the way over...lol...i can only make about three rounds through the house before my back starts giving out and the muscles in my legs start aching...usually right around the time he is blaring the horn really good.....anyway, i stop, and he just cries and sits on his car, and i feel so bad....so i push him some more, lol he's just too cute

misti....i love hearing you talk about your kids, you are such a loving mama... aidan was that way with chase.....he's younger...but when he was a baby, he was not happy unless he was in the room with chase, watching him play....and he didn't smile at anyone, not even me....except for chase, until he was one! he was such a serious little guy......i have a hundred pics of him, all with the same frowning expression on his little face..... now he's a goofy 4 year old....but he still loves his brother....mostly now, though, he loves annoying him... you feeling better, girl? love you, sweetie.... ayla |

Misti, I think you are on to something with what you wrote about Jonathan talking to Jakey while he was still in your tummy! I did it a little with my first daughter, but with my second daughter, the red head, I would often put my mouth on her mom's tummy and say, "Hellllllooooo. Hellllooo in there. Can you hear meeeeeeeeee." And then I would crack up laughing, 'cause it was like calling out in a dark cave to seeeeee iffffff sooommmmmeeeeonnnnneeeee is in heeeerrrrreeee. And when this daughter was born and less than one minute old, while the nurses were just wiping her off, I said something to her mom, and this little baby snapped her head over to the direction where my voice came from and was straining her eyes looking for ME! The nurses even noticed it and commented that "she is looking for her daddy's voice." And to this day, she is still a "Daddy's girl."

I never said hi. Hi, we haven't said 'boo' in a widdle while. . . . Uhm B00!  Of course it's your life and your recovery--probably alcohol was not the beast for you that it was for me. Could well be that opiates took a bigger toll on you (as you know I haven't followed your story to the letter!) For me it was alcohol and freakin' tranqs., but the drinking was really life-threatening for me. I ain't about to write off, forget, or jeopardize my April 15, 1996 sobriety date just because I got caught up in Klonopin & Xanax. Ha!! -reset the clock on Budweiser to mere weeks ago?? You know what? i don't THUNK so! So when I saw that you still have a firm bead on your own alcohol-clean date from 17 years ago (i bet you regret publishing it now!! lol) and that you were playing chicken with it, I was ¡¡alarmed!!  (smile)A date is a date, right. Now what if by disavowing the alcohol-clean date, you are somehow allowing your addictive voice an easier "out" to drink? Ever think of that, it's just a thought. They like to try and say "a drug is a drug is a drug" but boy, everybody's recovery is different, that's for sure! On that point--sorry to get into your personal recovery. In your thread. LOL i don't mean to bother you. Thoughts and love from a friend and fellow addict! Ten *a HAPPY, friend and fellow addict!* p.s. fellow addict and DRUNKARD! lol | |

beez, it's gonna be a good one hey ken, i've missed ya steve is late this morning... ten, do not EVER apologize for posting something to me...you know how much i love ya no, actually, it is quite the opposite with my drinking. i am EXTREMELY proud of my 14 years, but i thought it didn't matter to others. if i am still allowed to say i have been sober from alcohol since 1993, then I HAVE BEEN SOBER FROM ALCOHOL SINCE 1993 i don't have the urge to drink...the picking up of wine coolers was just a thought...if i really had the desire, i would have gotten a different pack, or walked out to the car to get my license. oh well *shrugs* yeah, it was bad for me. i was told in nursing school, about a month left.,...that if i showed up for clinicals one more time smelling like alcohol, i would be kicked up and not graduate. more than once, i had wrecks...luckily noone but me was ever hurt, tons of blackouts, mean things, fights....ugh, it was bad. don't wanna do that again.../but yes, i let go of that much easier than i did the opiates, they were definitely the worse of the two ugh

yeah, i really wanna see...i love houses...can't wait til we move at the end of the school year...three whole bedrooms, a backyard...WOO HOO i ended up doing all my worrying last nite in bed, but it is a really dumb thing to worry about i am getting a lot of money back, you all know that, and i am grateful. BUT, it is all budgeted for already, and i need some of it to live on, too...i am a terrible money person. after i pay back stepdad, give mom a bit of money, buy a car, pay rent up, buy a crib, some cheap summer clothes for the kids....well, i am broke again. i hate that! can't get my license, can't pay off my warrants....but then again, without that money, i would really be in a bind...so, even though it is all accounted for, it's a good thing. i need to get a job

You are a inspiration , you guys..makes me determined to have a good day too!! Despite myself! Me and Chance are getting bundled up to walk through the trail in the woods near our house to see my friends new baby!! He was born on valentines day. It is minus 10 degrees out there so you know that we are some true hardcore folks to get out and take a walk!! I am tired of this cold though. But the sun is out bright.. Heading to the church on the hill for the meeting first.. I have entertained thoughts of drinking alot lately so it is a good topic here lately. I don't drink much for PLEASURE though...I guzzle for oblivion..can't control it no matter how hard I may try! Pretty sad huh..but alcohol immediatly triggeres CRAVING in me...nasty stuff this addiction..nasty stuff!! Glad everyone is here and doing well love north |

My sister just got 9mos in jail for 4th dwi so now I have 3 kids not sure what is going on just flying by the seat of my pants here. At least they are older so its not too bad they just dont understand alot right now. Trying to make everything as smooth as I can. Gotta do what you gotta do.
