Hey guys!!! I missed you all so much this weekend. My computer is being fuddy duddy and I can't figure out what the problem is. I connect, but can't connect. Make sense?

Well, I am thinking about all of you and sedning hugs and happy thoughts. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!!!!!

Hi to all the mommas!

Just wanted to give a shout out to all you great mamas. It is always therapeutic to read what you write. Thirteen days sober today and feeling crazy, but good. My prayer for all of you today is that you will "pause when agitated" and find peace no matter what your circumstances are.

YOU GO GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa

(((Laura)))- You are very normal, sweetie. I can relate to everything you are saying. It just makes you wonder.... who has posessed my body!!??!! Things really do start to even out- It sounds like your husband is supportive- that is great. I let my kids know my emotions were going to be all over the place, so please be understanding. Sometimes they can look at me and know I just need a hug. Be open and honest with them. You are doing great- believe it or not. xoxo

(((Scoot)))- LOL!!! That's like waving to someone then realizing you don't really know them... trying to act all cool after..... although, I'm sure you looked like a hot mama!

miss you NYC- school is almost out!!!

I went to an 8:30 Dr. appt this morning---- ooops- it's actually tomorrow morning! Again, have I mentioned the hair color???????

Love to my mommies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Choose to have a good day!!!! CDTE & CUTE

xoxo T

I like it, Lisa. That's our phrase for the day-
**Pause when agitated**

remember the bee sting???
i screwed up pulling the stinger out, and now miki has cellulitis in her hand if it doesn't clear with antibiotics, she has to see a surgeon.
i HATE being the cause of her pain, poor baby....she's so good

Afternoon everyone! I went to my fourth meeting today. It is so much easier. I even spoke to a few people before the meeting.

**{bwmd}} you are doing the right things! way to go!

i love "pause when agitated"! it sounds like my washing machine--but it also is something that i really really really need to do. i get an emotion flash and immediately act on it, frequently to my detriment. i'll try pausing a little more.

hi, girls.......sorry i don't have time to read at the moment....suddenly i'm so incredibly busy, with avatars, and friends requesting graphics and myspace layouts, tags and backgrounds, i don't know what to do with myself! i look at it as great practice because....

i have the applications on the way...........and i'm going to go to OU in the fall for online small business and graphic arts!!!!!

i'm so excited, my kids are all in school next year for three hours, i can do it online, but i want to take some classes in athens for the experience, you know? i missed out on all of that because i became a mama......no regrets, but i do want to see what i missed!

i hope hope hope this works out!!! say big prayers!!!!!

i love you all so much, i would not be here and making these huge decisions without you, i would never have wanted to make something of myself if i had not found all of you wonderful and inspiring women who do so much and i admire more than you could ever know!!!

I used the "Pause when agitated" quite a bit today cause I was agitated quite a bit, lol. My co-workers think I've lost it.....i sit at my desk repeating "pause when agitated, pause when agitated, I'm agitated, pause when agitated"...good thing they already know i'm crazy.

Hi Jackie - I miss you!

BWMD - way to go!

I would like to tell all of the mommies about an Awesome woman at my meeting today. This woman has survived 2 types of cancer. Her words were so inspiring to me that I regret that I cannot go to that meeting tomorrow. (Have to go to a funeral for a great person.)

I am going to kick this!

We miss you, Jackie! Drive safely home!

BWMD- You sound like you are really doing great! I'm going to two meetings tomorrow to collect my 30 day chips!!!!! YAY! I think DH is going with me, too,to the night one.

I wish I would have had the "pause when agitated" montra yesterday...... Today was MUCH better! I just don't even know who that person was in my body yesterday, but I hope she stays gone!

Ayla- That is such GREAT news! I'm so proud of you! That sounds perfect for you! Speaking of avatars....... let me know if you get some free time!

Funny thing... As I'm lying awake at 4:30 this am, I happened to think about all of you great mommies, and I suddenly realized what IGFAN stands for! DUH! After all the concert talk and pictures, you'd think I woulda figured it out sooner! Oh, well, I had a good chuckle before finally drifting back off to sleep.....

((((((Ayla)))))) What AWESOME news!!!!! Rock On!!!!!
((((Jackie))))) Drive safe!!!! glad your having a great time in spite of the crappy weather!!!!!

(((((ALL of My Mommies)))))

I am extremly tired tonite, I gues the major lack of sleep has my resistance down because I have been fighting a tooth ache, ear ache and sore throat with fever....I am just praying that it is mostly sinuses. So I am going to try another sleeping pill and pray for more then a couple of short hours....just waiting for the oldest to get home in a few minutes so I can lock down the fort and drift off.

I didnt hear from Dad again today, I am heart broken, maybe he will call tomorrow...please say a prayer!!!!

On a lighter note.........................Sallys called today.......I GOT THE JOB!!!!!
And my zoloft came through from the manufacturer, they are giving it to me 3 months at a time FREE!!!! YEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW!!!!! One script down, 2 to go!!!! My new boss (oh my that sounds WONDERFUL) is going to call with my training schedule tomorrow, I will find out the details, how much$$ etc. too.....I know it will be above minimum because I told them I would not work for min. due to my experience but at this point, I dont care....ANYTHING!!!! LOL
Ok so Im off to hopefully dreamland......
Sleep sweet!!!!
~HUGS!~ Liss
