I was thinking about us Moms
just bringing it up again!
This post was recently mentioned here (in the post titled: "Of All The Parks To Sleep In - Why Did He Pick Mine???") so I thought I would dig it up. I still find it good for a laugh, and a laugh is always good!

I forgot all about this one. Boy, MG, Josie and some of the others here and I used to stay up waaayy too late and we'd start clowning around and end up laughing so hard we would cry. We discovered that laughter is a huge part of recovery and somthing we had missed for a very long time.
Thanks for the reminder to have fun - including here - and to let the laughter happen.
This one is a classic and I am so grateful you found it in the basement.

LOL - JT you were a "lurker" too and we all had a few bags under our eyes back then. And you're right - it's all about supporting each other and holding each other up when we get shaky. So many sad threads end up with us laughing at ourselves, and we are the only people who have any clue what we are laughing at.
If a "normal" mom ever heard our conversations, they'd lock us up for sure. (now don't get me started:shades: )
I really love you all, and am so grateful for the best group of friends in the world.

O MY...I have been away far to long and missed you all so much! I am laughing so hard I hurt.
Just Tired...everytime I look at the photo of the dog I laugh just that much hard...I feel he is looking at me like he thinks I am really goofy sitting here with one hand over my mouth so not to wake up hubby and trying to type with the other hand.
This all rang so true.
My neighbor is a dear friend and her daughter and my "A" daughter are the same age. I have known her for years and adore her but sometimes I could scream!

Wow, how exciting...my daughter has to go back next week for another court orderd drug test

after graduation my daughter and her new boyfriend are taking a trip to Hawaii
after her drug test my daughter is gonna go over and visit her new ol man in jail
neighbor~~they plan to stay for two weeks
What a nice vacation...My daughter will be at the jail for a few hours to visit ..he's looking at 5 years.
Hay lets get the families together soon for a bar-b-q
So is life. How good it is to laugh..thank you.

About Us
Hi Ladies:
I just came across an entire box of my son's stuff and in there was certificates of achievement that he received while in jail! I remember telling him how proud I was that he received those certificates! I mean talk about grasping at anything positive! If any Mom with a "normal" life would have heard me say that they would have choked!
I was going to frame them too! Then I thought, maybe not, it might shock people. You know, instead of the gradation diploma you put up the certificate of achievement "fastest plate maker!" Decided against it.
I remember when he would write me from state prison and you get the mail stamped in big red letters "state prison." One day the mailman asked me who it was that I knew in state prison. I said, oh that would be my son! He was shocked! He said, why? I said murder! I know that isn't funny, but he sure has been nice to me ever since! I think he's afraid I have connections!
Oh well, that'll teach him to be curious...he probably told all the neighbors too....like I care anymore.
Hugs, Devastated

That's is too funny!!
I have to be careful with laughing too much, my husband thinks I have gone over the edge!
How about this one:
My son went on vacation to Hawaii....(Normie)
My son went on vacation and came back on probation!
I use to think, "if I hear one more success story, I'm going to scream!" You know, my son/daughter is graduating from college as a brain surgeon. And I'm thinking here's mine graduating from jail to prison...great!

Dev you have me in stitches ...Fastest Plate Maker LOL.
And I'll bet your mail is never late now!!!!
And you know you can show US his certificates. I am also proud of my son's accomplishments, however small and wherever earned. But I don't think framing his Rehab Certificates would be a good idea.

My son made a frame. Sanded it, stained it and put his rehab certificate in it and hung it on my wall.
What was I to do, but leave it there? It wasn't up there long though. He had to show it to the judge and he felt stupid taking the frame into court.

LOL - Sky, it's all MG's fault. She is 3 hours time difference, and some nights/mornings I would stay up until 3 am MY time/midnight hers because she would get me laughing here and I just couldn't go to bed.
I'm more of an early-bird now and we haven't done it as much, but I think we'll plan a late-nighter again soon.
