No big birds 2 budgies and 2 cockatiels. The girls are like big birds though lol they act like little kids

Update:

I talked to my husband before dinner tonight and we have decided to start marriage counseling. We have ALOT to work on! I'm going to make it my top priority to find a good therapist this week! I also wanted to report that I stayed sober through all that today. By grace of God! Love you guys so much. Thx for all your help today. :-)

Sounds like you are on the right track Kiki. Good for you. Just remember that drinking will not improve any situation!!!

Morning class!! Well after shopping with my girls on Thursday and then DH being off both Friday and yesterday, today feels like my first true day of vacation. I have worked out a plan for the next eight days that should help keep me sober and out of trouble. First thing on the agenda is the gym - I bought a two week pass to try out so wish me luck!!

Happy Sunday!!

Don't tempt me woman - I am a just a man !!! Hahaha.

I'm glad you two are talking and seeking help and I hope things work out. Regardless of the outcome, you need to work through it in the right way, otherwise it just creates other issues.

Whirlwind tour begins in a few hours. I'll check in when I can.

Have an awesome Sunday everyone - You deserve it!!

Kiki - I've never regretted keeping my marriage solid, even when at heated times I felt otherwise. My children are worth it. Our economic stability was worth it. We agreed on more issues than we disagreed. And well...often he had a point (lol!) and I might have been wrong. You're not wrong on this though. Counseling on a major issue like drinking sounds like a GREAT idea! I totally get where you're coming from on that.

LB - there's a factory making crayons??!! How fun is that??!! Wouldn't that be a good job? "I'm am in charge of the cornflower blue operation." .

Sorority life - sounds so fun Bobbie!!

Sam you sound so healthy and solid. I admire your daily efforts. I always think that when I read your posts and wanted to tell you that. And I think about you every time I have my daily cup of tea...my new habit to relaxing instead of drinking wine. Today will be Vanilla Almond with a dash of honey from the Republic of Tea.

Well, today is busy here. Time to head to Costco, although I have plenty of popcorn and batteries. Costco on the weekend is kind of scary here so I will put my patience hat on to fight crowds. Crowds trigger thoughts of drinking (introverts unite!) thus how to stop that?

It's a beautiful day here so car top will be open on the newly damaged car (at this point I'm laughing about recent dark Thursday), sunglasses, and a sundress should be something to lift the spirits. Gas up the car, get my nails done, laundry, spruce up the house and then tea on the patio to watch the sun go down. Busy hands are happy hands.

avahappysunday everyone!
