Good morning 24s 
I'm ALL in.
It's been a busy week with doctor appts. for my hubby and the support groups for his disease so while I didn't check in, I've been with you all in spirit.
Thanks for keeping me on the list Suze!
While grocery shopping yesterday I wandered through the wine aisle (on my way to the cheese but of course store marketers lump it all together) and admired a designer wine gift bag. My first thought was, 'how cute' and my second was, 'Bandi, you'll never ever buy wine for anyone ever again so what the heck are you doing admiring wine gift bags?' I didn't have any cravings but.....it's good to check in here and stay close. It was also a very empowering moment and helped me smile in the midst of a stressful week.
Congratulations to everyone celebrating a Milestone!!
Hugs, peace, strength and love to all....xxxx

My goal this week is to focus on turning this negativity around using law of attraction exercises. I also want to start meditating more. If none of that helps I will have to go on antidepressants again. I shouldn't be crying every damn day- especially at 5 am on my sons 6th birthday like this morning after waking up with puffy eyes from crying myself to sleep.
I know I will get through this. I just don't know how.

My mum is having a good day, and that makes me so happy. She was planting flowers in the garden this afternoon!

Still a scary situation but this gives us a lot of hope. I hate seeing her suffering and in pain. Even if it's one day it's a very positive sign. Really made my afternoon wonderful (in Addition to it being Friday)
So I am tidying up around here and having a big Laundry Party. How wild am I? Hahaha!

I am going to get some Halloween decorations tomorrow for my first Halloween in my first house. I love Halloween. I never really lived anywhere where the kids would come by in costume but there are bunches around here, so I'd better get ready!

Love you and all my sweet 24's

The photo of me was taken in Dorado, Puerto Rico. We flew home September 3rd, before the first Hurricane. Then Maria hit the Island !! We vacationed in PR last year at the same time, but in Fajardo. It just breaks our heart.

Thinking you can tell that to the thoughts that no one cares about you....the truth is the polar opposite. We LOVE you....treasure you and appreciate you.....and every single one of us is in your corner. ♥

Whatever is going on, drinking is not the solution - not on way.
Whatever you AV is telling is a lie. Our AVs know us very well; after alla we created them; they know what lies to tell us.
Tell it to get lost.
Stay close, Dane. Please lean on us.

Because I need to tell on myself here....
I spent a few days this week almost suicidal..... I looked terrible last Sunday.....really unwell. When I saw the first photos I had a complete breakdown....I was almost catatonic for a day there.
After that, I put the pictures and photographer in Nick's hands....and asked him to get her to do what we asked for, black and white mainly....if there are any pics that don't make me cry I will post them.
