happy

Hi ladies. Hope everyone had a great weekend. My was good I bought some more clothes for my daughter which makes me feel good. Some of you know I have no car but my friend gve me a ride to Walmart and I finally purchased silverware and glasses and plates. It made me feel so good about myself. Since I have moved here over six months ago I have not bought anything for lack of transportaion to a store I can afford unless I take buses and how much can you really carry. So with him taking me it made my day today. I got a measuring cup no more measuring by eye, also a salt and pepper shaker.Oh Oh I almost forgot a liner for my shower my old one was all torn up. He also said he will take me next month so instead of spending a hundred on my daughter clothes I will finally spend a hundred on the house. I am so exited now. OOH OHH I dyed my hair to a little darker but it covers the icky gray ya know. I can't believe how spending thirty bucks made me such a different person. I haven't been this happy in a while. Dosen't take much. Also, I ran into an old friend I was in a prgram with. We were both in a program and went to the same three quarter house then me and her moved in with our boyfriends who lived together. I relapsed and got clean and found she is now in recovery again after a three year run. So I got her number. We been through so much together she has twins. two beautiful afracan american cuties.LOL. I don't know but getting to buy stuff for my house and seeing and old friend this has sure been a great day. Thought I would share my happiness. I also spent more on my daughters wardrobe. I am getting her everything I ever wanted. I always got hand me down or if I did get anything it was from zayers or kmart. So that makes me happy to. I am broke until the seventeeth but I am a happy camper. Well guess I talked enough. Hope everyone had a great weekend and I willl be back tomorrow....

Hi Bubblze,

I'm glad you're sharing your happiness! And, it doesn't take much, does it? That's one of the best things I've learned from all this stuff I've gone through, how much sitting at an outdoor cafe in the sunshine and having a cup of really good coffee with my husband. It doesn't get much better than that.

Love, Anna

Thank you all. My happiness has poured over into today which I am truely grateful however my daughter was just whining but I am not going to let that ruin my day. She asked for help then when I was helping her started whining she trys to race. So I told her fine I won't help you but if you can't do it and need help I will only help you if you don't whine if you do you take an incomplete. So I am still a happy camper now so exited to go to walmart again next month. I am broke but I am coverd for ciggerettes,food and bills and got a few extras out of the deal. I'm loving life right now. Grr testing me she is whine whine whine... It's strange but I am still smiling no matter what. I just hope this happinest stays for a little bit I kinda like it. I haven't had many happy days in my life but I am learning life is what you make it. With that I am learning to love life little by slow.
