ruby...Did I mention my oldest is NOT going back to Florida?! Yay! She is so sweet and I so love having her here!!! I kind of feel like I have a third these days, as her boyfriend is here ALL the time!! But he is such a sweetheart I don't mind plus he loves to eat and I love to cook...a perfect combination! lol
...congrats, i know you must be so happy! that's awesome. did you ever get your bath, face mask and nails, lol?
curly...misti- where are you - i am worried abt you and the baby
...thanks for you concern, we are making it day by day, tonite hour by hour, lol
...smyle,4 what total cuties y'all have...thanks for the pics
ruby, I sure do miss having babies around
...what's the postage again to indiana????
nice to meet ya, grandpa steve, and nice to see kevin posting again...hope you guys stick around!
jane, Today is my daughter's 12th birthday
...finally, another coincidence, my oldest turns 11
ruby, My kids cannot stand frozen pizza or soup from a can...I created monsters! I bought a box of instant mashed potatoes once and they freaked out! They didn't know it was for a food drive..ha ha!
...how funny, my kids are the total opposite. if it isn't in the freezer, or in a can, they don't want it! guess they don't trust my cooking, lol
and, please, i do not think anyone here resembles a toad
ugh, it was 70 here....but i guess that's good for us, since we are walking everywhere. i would like one really cold and rainy snap, tho, just on the weekend
jules, glad you did not cave yesterday, great job! from your post:
I always pretend that I am "o.k." and I have got it all together when I am really scared to death of sobriety. I know all of the right answers and I can walk anyone through and urge or coming back from a relapse but can I talk to my self the same way? NOPE!!! I either spend my time beating myself up, or putting up so many walls around me that even I don't know what I am really feeling.....sounds crazy, I know. But sometimes I feel that if I let those walls down or let the feelings in...I will crumble and right now I am doing all I can to hold my sobriety. I wish I could cry. I wish I could run away sometimes.......instead I work, cook, clean, snap at my husband, demand of my nine year old son.....I have lost the human part of my self....the part that everyone used to love.....I was always the first one to cry at a Hallmark commercial!!!! When does that part come back......when can I start feeling again without wanting to numb it or run away from it
...honey, that is me in a nutshell...thanks for keeping me in check, and letting me know i am not alone!
call or pm me anytime...we can rant and vent to each other, lol
ayla, "sometimes i really wish i had been born with a penis"
...lol, i used to think that til i was watching a highschool basketball game...the guy got out there on the free throw line, and, well, yep...you guessed it.
never again have i had that desire
steve, will you get to see rinnie tomorrow, though? i hope so!
brandi, keep up the good work, it feels awesome to beat that demon, doesn't it? each craving you overcome will only make you stronger!
brynn, i love you as always...
curly, plus Misti i am like stalking your posts (i am not scary) its just you have it so hard and it KILLS me.... i want to just drive over and help.. do you want to move to NC?? you are amazing
...i am not amazing, i am a struggling, angry, frustrated broke old lady who screams at her kids, lol. you are more than welcome to stalk me, i am not used to having people care...tam has been
awesome, btw, pming me (hugs, tam). it's nice to know people care...just wish one of you were in dallas, heh.
thanks, steve, for the kind words. i wish i could find people like you guys around here...
ayla, such cute pics, thanks for posting
kevin, pantyhose...ummmmmmmmmm, no comment
ayla, "i know i was meant to be a mother...it's is the very best job in the world...and so rewarding..."
...funny, i've always disliked kids, didn't want any, well maybe one at the most, and i ended up with friggin four, lol
TAMTAM, keeper of my heart...i really hope you feel better soon...please check in in the morning and let me know. i will be
thinking about you tonite and hope the pain eases up
steve "I'm sorry I didn't get to hear how your day has been. You have so much going on in your life and you still take the time to be so caring, giving and concerned about everyone here. You are truly a very special person. I hope your baby is feeling better and I hope you get some much needed rest...
...the rest, me too, lol. i am getting ready to go to bed now. i take the time to care about you all because you are my friends, and well, i do care about all of you, lol. i hate when someone is having a hard time and i am not here to help...i feel like i let people down. i lurve you all!

I finally understand why they say not to make any huge changes in your first year of sobriety. We are looking to build a house and it is nerve wracking looking at some houses and knowing it is the last lot left blah blah blah.. You feel pressure that someone else will buy it etc.. Anyho, I find myself taking gravol here and there to help me sleep and it worries me. Alcohol is my addiction not pills.
