No kids here, but I get so much day-to-day strength from reading your thread. I just wanted to let you all know that It reminds me that yes, in recovery, we can get our lives back and on track.

Take care!

Ayla, thanks for checking in! Sorry about your headache! Maybe you're just getting them all out of the way before the big holiday weekend.

Alera thanks to you, too!

I am so excited I can barely contain myself, y'all! She will be on the ground in less than an hour!!! Got her favorite meal ready to go...the house cleaned, her room just as she left it. I feel like I'm getting the best Christmas present early....

misty that's so awesome about the school.

ruby I can feel the happiness coming through your posts. I hope you're able to enjoy every minute with your daughter.

I can't believe I only have 2 days left to get everything done. Why do I keep checking in here then???

Alera, I'm glad that this thread is helping others. Who knows how many other moms who haven't joined us yet are reading and getting better each day. We're not a closed society either. You can post here whenever you want and we'll wrap our arms around you just the same.

((Misti))--See, things can work out!! I am soooooo happy for you and your kids!!!! You definately deserve a break!! What absolute angelic people...I think the mommies at Jane's school could learn a good lesson from them!!

Ruby...I hope at this minute you are hugging your baby!!!!!!!!!

Ay..sorry about your headache!! I think its the time of year...better find out whats causing them....I need you to be prepared when I dump this new baby on you! (sorry...Jaik came home from school..sick, yea right, and him and Eli are busy shoving action figures down the toilet..new baby..what was I thinking????)

Ok, I feel like a drink...and I was never a drinker, but the stress in this house needs to decrease, or mommy needs to leave for a few hours because I've just about had it! I'm not usually a screamer either...but I'm ashamed that I SCREAMED (bloody murder screamed) after Eli SPIT in my face, and Jaik gave Eli a bloody lip, and they got the tape and taped up everything, even the dog....Eli just put money down the disposal....I really really really need a vacation!!!

Holy Cow I missed a LOT today. Well, just had a min before dinner and thought I'd say Hiiiiii. Hope all of you who are stressed get un-stressed. Just grab some brownies and hop into a bubble bath. And those of you who are feeling great keep it up! I'm actaully having a really good day today.

HUGS TO ALL ! ! !

Awww, Misti! I'm so happy for you today--I'm actually sitting here crying!
how do you ever, ever repay stuff like this?
I'll bet your gratitude is all the thanks anyone would want.

GOOD IDEA! *getting out the brownie mix*

Would you believe I ate 3 chocolate chip cookies for breakfast yesterday? I know, "the breakfast of champions", huh?

Thank God the kids didn't see me do that or I'd have been in big trouble....the mean mom who insists they eat veggies--I can just hear them now!

I swear I'm going to gain about 10 pounds just this week--I keep wanting to drink, but stuff my face with every munchie under the sun instead. Stress really does cause cravings. (DUH)

Welp, better get on those brownies.....

Love you all,
Jane

Everyone must be off cooking supper......

breathe--post--

I am actually eating a can of sweetened condensed milk right now. Better than drinking, right?

Hmmmm, maybe it's a weird pre-menopause craving??? Is there any such thing?

See y'all later...

Ugh--its not like I want to bad mouth DH, but.........I was just trying to find a paper for our income tax in the filing cabinet, and I found a bag with 30 (yes I counted) 7.5 vic's. I know he hasn't taken out any money lately, because I checked the bank today....I'm now sitting here wondering if he's still using, or he forgot about them (unlike me, he's actually hid them and forgot before...I know, because I took them, and he never said a thing...)

The really bad thing is that I WANT TO TAKE SOME!!!!!!!!!! I know I can't, but it pisses me off so bad! If he's lying and still using I don't know what I'm gonna do. The weird thing is he takes drug screens at his therapists every week, as a condition of our continuing therapy, and he's been clean for three weeks. The addict in me is going crazy...my boys have driven me nuts today, and I'm sitting here thinking of excuses, rationalizing it. 2 won't hurt me. I won't do it...but it stinks that they are right here in front of my face...CALLING ME!!!!!! Help please.....I don't know what to do! I'm really scared right now.
