Who's idea was this anyway?
 

Just got done hosting a Halloween party for a gaggle of six year old boys. Did I really agree to stop drinking?

Yeesh.

:a043:

Penny,

You're doing great!

I bet the kids had fun!

They did! My nerves are frayed, though.

I totally know where you are coming from. I just got done with an inside trick or treat at the school and a dance for the kids where they had strobe lights going. I have a wicked headache and am very, very . . . tired. Yup! Bed sounds wonderful.


(BTW - my boy is 6 turning 7 this coming month. ;)) You go Mom! Party for 6 year olds will fray anyone's nerves.

Penny - I must admit that I had a good laugh, as I have three kids around that age and I know, ohh, do I know.

I carved pumpkins with them tonight and I was driven to sugar - just so I could keep up with them.

For those of you reading and thinking that kids will be a motivator to stop drinking alcoholically, let Penny and I tell you that - nope.

I am sorry Penny but when I read your post I R O F L M A O

It brought back some great memories.

I was 4 1/2 months sober and the Alano Club I spent a lot of time at planned a Halloween Party for all the youngsters of those that attended. Now mind you I had not been around little ones for a while by then, as my last years of drinking were spent on the street, I was 36 years old, ended up sitting on the floor with the littlier tykes 4 and under and I had the most fun I had had in years!!!!!! Got to be a little kid again for the first time in many years.

Now just look at you, you got through it, probably had at least a little fun, and you are still sober!

WAY TO GO!!!!!

You did good!!

Love and hugs,

well done, kids can drive you to drink easily

That would drive me straight back to candy

Funny, never had a problem driving myself........

I.... am.... so... tired.... parades, parties and a crazy week at work. Thank goodness Halloween was not tonight. Need the break in between the school stuff and the trick or treating!!!

Penny, Keep up your good work!!

Good job, Penny! :) I had a kid filled week, too. I'm beat. I hear ya, traderjane!!

Went to a grown up party tonight...first time out. I drank 2 Sprites. I actually can't believe it. I did leave early, tho. It's gonna take some time for me to get used to going to things like that and not drinking.

I'm glad you were a sober hostess Mom
:yup:
