I seem to be gradually extricating myself from toxic people/situations and I know I have sobriety to thank for that. Still going to burn my list tonight tho, if the moon is there and willing to help.... I'm not going to miss that opportunity

We are having one of those "doing" Sundays now. Clothes shuffling, bedroom tidying and homework / revision. Strictly no sand on my floors though goodness me!!!! I'm still far too uptight to cope with that so bravo Kenton my dear!
This is the first time I've forgotten my special day and got a lovely surprise seeing my name on the list this morning. Extra special to share it with martina congratulations on that precious first week sweetheart!
Okay time to eat I'm starving!!!
Lots of love

Sending good vibes!

Today the kids have CCD, and then I am going to spend some time relaxing, and some cleaning, although right now I'm leaning much heavier toward relaxing.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Sunflower....we had hassles with our sons when they were young..and by all accounts they have turned out very well...
Parenting is not a science..and people are not instinctively given all the answers. I would suggest going to an outside person- not a psychiatrist or psychologist...but someone who can give advice on 'how to' stuff. Like that show The Supernanny.
A lot of people do not get to the point you do- of being able to explain clearly what it is they are stressed about
Support to you

So, today a phone call from close family in Scotland with the news that my Mums youngest sister has cancer running wildly through her lungs, her bones - palliative care only and a matter of months - whaaat?
I am so effed off.....ok more like devastated but effed off too. Not enough to destroy my Mums brain cells and the Mum I know & Love dissapearing daily but my favourite Auntie being taken in such a way. My cousin is devastated, our family is devastated.....
I am so angry today but will it lead to a drink? NO, I am here with SR, AA and a damn fine sponsor and my shields are up.
Much Love 24'ers, Congrats Milestoners, SP
P.s. Thank you Dee, another 24 for me please

Hubby is home and was happy to take over with the kids so I could relax. So why do I feel so guilty hiding out in the basement watching a sad documentary while surfing the web on my phone?
I feel like a failure. I had a horrible day with the boys and was the opposite of present and fun, minus twenty minutes of music and dancing with them. I really hate myself today.

The second who he currently sees for play therapy actually gave me advice I do not agree with. I told her just last week that I was having a very hard time getting him to follow directions and she told me it was okay to yell at him everyday, that it was okay to hit him on the bottom or yank his arm and that he needs to learn who is the boss. The establishment she works in is called Zen Life and even offers Acupuncture.
This is not the advice I was hoping for or expecting. Sigh. I do have Nanny 911 on dvd but I don’t watch it only because I cannot tolerate the screaming and chaos of each story before the problems are solved. I do have the book and we used some of the advice in the past and it helped. Thank you for the reminder.
I actually am proud of myself. I ignored his screaming and he eventually stopped and turned his mood around. I rewarded him (we do marble jars) with a marble for doing so. God this is so damn hard.
I like what you said about most people not knowing how to express what they are upset about. I never thought of it like that. Thank you.
