Thanks Della, I think my dad's hoping to go home tomorrow. They'll have to do cultures but honestly, he looks the best he's done in ages.

Brynn I know we all slowly forget how bad the day after is but take a second and take a real big mental note/picture of how your feeling right now. Please only let this be a blip in your recovery. I'll send some positive vibes through the airwaves.

Hugs sister! I don't know where they get all this energy for constant squabbling. I feel exhausted all the time lately. All. The. Time. My patience levels are depleted. And they're not even out on summer vacation yet! Prayers for wisdom and zen motherhood.

Ruby2

Omg, melki, I'm sending big hugs. I have no patience lately either. Crabby mommy. Mine are going to all day camp so I'm hoping they're exhausted at the end of the day. Individually, they're fine. Together? There are days I'd love to trade them for a pack of hyenas.

I need some of that zen. I put myself in 'space time' today as i completely lost it.

I know the signs too, I push for something, they push back, we all keep pushing. I need to see the build happen sooner and make a call.. How important is it really that we get in the car NOW to go to the beach and HAVE A GREAT TIME ...KIDS..KIDS... arrrrrraasghhhhhhh

I like a feel like a lunatic at times. Poor kids.

Brynn. Onwards and upwards. To grow we must feel a bit of pain. We are all in this together.

Good night everyone. It's bedtime for bonzo.

Ruby2

Trees, I totally get it. Mine get the brunt of it. No one here uses their inside voices. No one listens. Classic "Mom, s/he's on my side!". One can't leave the other alone. One goes into their room for a breather and the other follows and starts it over again. I'm slowly going insane as a result.

Ruby2

Goodnight, Bonzo

I'm headed for bed too. Goodnight everyone. I'm planning to post here tomorrow. The banter and companionship helps me stay grounded during the week.

Goodnight everyone. I got lots done around the house today and I'm pooped. Give your kids lots of hugs and kisses, even though they bug you.

Good night? Not fair. Good morning. I shall see if Monday is ok then.

Hauling for ya , it's a new morning here in the UK and i'm sending sober wishes with the dawn .
We're all here for you , relapse is not inevitable but sometimes it happens .

For me resentments usually lays at the root, i pick them out mercilessly , if i have to quit jobs , quit people , situations , upset everyone so be it .

A neferK says rootin' for ya ,

Brynn.... we love you! Come back and spend next weekend with us. In the mean time get back to being your real sober self. Do what ever you need to do. You have done it before and can again.

Morning peeps. Back to work I suppose. I don't think I won the lottery, guess I would have to play it to win it.

Ruby2

Good morning everyone! Monday morning. Another beautiful day, inside. Leaden skies for the third day in a row and cool again. Kids still sleeping, lucky them. I didn't win the lottery either so it's back to work for me.

ArtFriend

Dang Ruby...I didn't win either.

gettingsmarter

Art, Brynn its a beautiful day! I didn't have to swim to work!

Ruby2

I'm glad you didn't have to swim to work, GS. I heard that Texas is due for some extended periods of sunny skies.

How is everyone's day going? I laughed at the "lottery" comment but honestly, I wouldn't want to win enough to retire. I think I'd start drinking without the structure.

Ruby2

After last night and talking about kids not behaving? Mine were practically little angels this morning. Got dressed without being reminded. Sat nicely at the table and ate their breakfasts. Who are you people and what have you done with my real children?
