Who you calling girlie?

Moving fast, already on page 5...

Not sure where to start.. I will start with SVL... Im sorry your husband is sick, but perhaps it did give him an out to dealing with what could have been a very uncomfortable and challenging situation with work. I think things happen for a reason too.. I do hope its nothing serious. I was thinking about how hard it must be to bundle up your son when you go out, and then if he has to undress you would need to carry all his clothes plus all those other necessities.. and then I caught the part about your dog.. made me laugh a little about his diaper but it must be awful for him to run outside.. it would be like our having to use an outhouse in those bitter temps.. he needs a pull up pant.. LOL

we all seem to like food on this thread.. I love brownies and all things sugar.. Its great you and the kids could do that together and have fun.. sounds so good, warm brownie especially on a cold night.

I was motivated by Clean, and Blue.. I made the trip to Walmart. Would you believe that had it there.. the Biscoff.. there were 2 jars left on the shelf and I bought both of them.. they are crunchy. the shelf said they carried both kinds creamy/crunchy but there was no creamy left. I took one, and then actually went back and got the other one before I checked out. I sampled it on a bagel and it was good.. I think a sweet pastry would be good too. The crunchy bits are tiny cookie chunks, not crumbs exactly but close. Its very good and I had never heard of it. I actually had a pretty good trip to walmart this time.. one item I wanted from the freezer section was way in the back again.. and I didn't feel like going to the broom aisle again, so I climbed up on the freezer case when no one was on the aisle. If only a very tall man had come walking by.. lol

Blue, Ive heard the Lighthouse in a Smart Meeting one time..its really pretty the way you wrote it..

I don't know much about the movie either TOD.. I wouldn't mind seeing it just because its got so much attention, but I think I would be embarrassed to buy a ticket... would probably run into a mom or grandmom I know taking a child to a Disney film at the same theatre.. so maybe if Im still curious I will watch it when it is released dvd/online.

I think you and Jethro should go TOD.. then you could report back to us.. although he does have the breathing problem, maybe it wouldn't be healthy for him? LOL Is that an owl? Is that cute little owl supposed to mean you are not girlie... I think shes just adorable. LOL

Allfor how are the kids holding up? Or how am I holding up? Alfor you are going to have a basement full if you are saving everything that was your sons? I tried and between the 4 of them...ended up with more stuff than I could handle. So I had to sift through it and select only the very special stuff. Awe poor Mr. Leggs! I hope you find him!
TOD your soup looks amazing! Yum!

Blue that is our situation here at home. Remnants of croissants, waffles and crepes. Half a jar of Nutella missing jar of Biscoff? Allfor glad you liked it!

Where's my camera?
" one item I wanted from the freezer section was way in the back again.. and I didn't feel like going to the broom aisle again, so I climbed up on the freezer case when no one was on the aisle."

Oh my I missed a lot yesterday didn't I? First of all TOD not everyone on this thread is a Sweet little Mama's Girl!!! I was tomboy too!! My favorite pastime was playing in the creek, climbing trees, and building forts! I was outside running around the neighborhood which had lots of undeveloped areas and open fields perfect for exploring! I was out from dawn til dusk every day but school days! My friends were boys too....but we had a few of us tomboys in my neighborhood...so I had some close friendships with girls who were like me.

I have nothing to add to your "fifty shades" topic, already said how I felt about it to Blue via pm. Ok...I'll say it here. I don't think a movie or book is going to teach a healthy young woman to put up with abuse. My 25 year old summed it up in one word..."Gross!" But you guys made me laugh so hard.....which I think is a huge reason so many read the books and are going to the movie. One reason is curiosity, and the other is as a joke and to see something that's tabu. Controversy always gets people wanting to see what all the fuss is about....so they'll dish out the money to buy the books or ticket to the movie. I admit...I'm curious too, haven't seen or read it but am waiting for it to come on popcorn so I can download it for free.

But I just loved your posts guys...had me chuckling this morning! Couldn't have picked a better picture TOD! Lol Oh my what photoshop can do Blue! HA ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Hi Clean, missed u yesterday!

Im trudging along today, got a bad headache and its made me slower at work, so Ive been trying to focus on the work stuff I need to get done, and then Im just going to go home I think. I took a tylenol but Im thinking its more a sinus problem and I need something different.

I hope everyone else is having a good and healthy day!

Okay Blue I hope you feel better! Take it easy!

Peek-a-boo soverylost! Lol

Blue!!!!! Step away from your computer! You will now be escorted to a padded cell and interrogated to see exactly what is coating those buckets of peanuts you dip into each morning that you're sniffing!

Did you by chance maybe go visit Butter and Eyes then couldn't resist diving head first into one of those snow banks?

TOD

Hahahaha its the best laugh Ive had all day! Maybe it could be your new avatar ?

I do have a headache today, and feeling a bit whacky! You have a good sense of humor and its hard for me resist bringing it out.

Girlies are always silly

BlueChair

I agree with what u said about the movie, I dont think its going to have a life altering affect on people unless maybe they are already troubled. A lot of movies depict violence, abuse, and toxic relationships. Its all in how we perceive it. Do u remember the movie Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts? I like the movie, but before I saw it there had already been instilled in me through my parents as I grew up, I mean I know her career choice in the movie doesnt resemble what was depicted, its wouldnt turn out like that, so it was all fiction and fantasy. But it was funny looking back, my mom had seen it before me so I recall her reinforcing, its only a movie not a true portrayal of that kind of life. #goodmom

so wow sr has changed since I came here. I was impressed on the front page was a version of the article that talked about how addiction is positively affected by social structures, and it even talks of the mouse experiment. I think its good these things are brought to light. I was delightfully surprised to see it here on sr an article.

Thanks Clean, I didnt mean to complain, I will feel better when I get home and Im leaving in a few minutes. I have sinus medicine at home, the one I use comes from the pharmacist or I would have got it from our little store here in the building.

Hope your ok Sovery! Hi Allfor, yay you found the spread at walmart. I will try crunchy if I can find it. Our store only had creamy I think but I wasnt looking real closely to be honest. I was too excited thinking about eating pureed cookie!

And Butter I owe you a huge message, so much to catch up on. #girliethings hahahaha

Tiredofdrugs

You are welcome! And yes I have a lot of humor! I was always the one in my unit that everyone wanted to ride along in their Humvees on the four hour trips. LOL I also have a huge imagination! Everyone needs laughter in their daily lives. It gets the good feelings going! Almost better than, well lets see? How do I say that on here? SEX! ROFL

Drink water! Take some sinus meds and that headache will go away. Act like a rose! They need water to bloom!

Time for supper! I just finished cooking and Jethro came sniffing around the kitchen! LOL

I'm here, I'm here!

The picture of the owl made me lol! Have i ever mentioned pink is my favourite colour? Sorry Clean and Tod, I'm a girlie girl

H is home and all is well. It's always busy when he first comes home, but everyone has settled down for the evening.

I agree with everyone's ideas of Grey. I don't think it will create a whole horde of obsessed women wanting to be abused any more than Pretty Woman inspired young girls to be prostitutes. The books were flimsy, the writing mediocre at best in my eyes and the sex, after the first shock, was all the same. I think they are doing brilliant marketing on it though. Creating controversy has made it the #1 movie even though I haven't heard anyone give it more than 2 stars.

Before it got dark today? Jethro had Maria outside eating grass for a little bit! I raised the window to say something to him and started hearing the meowing from the barn. I asked Jethro if he heard it? He walked towards me and stopped. Then he heard it. Oh No! It was back for more food!

I moved to another window to see if I could see it. And there it was. It was coming out from underneath my barn and walking towards the area I had taken the picture. It walked over to the spot where Jethro had given it food before and sniffed around. Yep! Looking for more food!

While it was in the open where I could see it better? I saw it had a short tail. I had Jethro take it some more food and it came walking right out to him and meowed all the way back to the feeding spot! So it's been around ppl before that's for sure. I suggested we catch it and get it neutered/spayed if it hangs around. Or take it to one of the Humane Societies? So we'll decide this situation as we go along here! It just might very well be a neighbor's cat and I don't want to pisss somebody off getting it fixed. Biting my nails here!

TOD, a quick question.. very nice update you gave on your history of pills and what it felt like to be trapped in there.. but happy the feather kids were able to reach you... so looking at a bunch of your posts just trying to understand.. you don't need to go into detail reply because generally 12 step topics are off topic for our forum.. but I want to understand your history.. so you used NA for fellowship with people in recovery.. even met you 3rd husband ( the abusive one) at an NA meeting, but you never did the step part... but you don't go to meetings anymore, instead you use SR for recovery support.. did I get that right.? Im trying to get all caught up.. never really knew your history.. and during the majority of your pill use you were still in the military service and kept getting re-deployed? Jethro was never in the military was he?

Here's some history for ya!

I was introduced to pain pills (PP) back in 1985. I saw my parent's doctor after returning from Army Basic Training and AIT. I was in the middle of a divorce from my first husband, my daughter’s dad. I was a basket case with what he was putting me thru. The doctor decided I needed a strong PP to help me out with my emotions. I knew nothing about PP's back then and didn't see any harm in them since they were doctor prescribed! Fast forward to 1990.

Met a man in one of my Army courses that was Ten years younger than I am. We stayed married for three years. The age difference just wasn't cutting it. He was a good old country boy and I hope our years together didn't scar him for life!

I got really hooked on the PP's thru the years and even started writing in my own refill number. That ended up getting me arrested. I bailed out of jail and went straight to a 30 day rehab facility. This is where I was first introduced to the Recovery world and the Twelve Steps! You know? It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me doing all those steps! I did apologize to those I'd done wrong and stole PP's from. The twelve steps just didn't fit ME! The Recovery group I entered Rehab with were taken to meetings each weekend. I really enjoyed and appreciated the ppl in those rooms! I found ppl that loved me and supported me! I found Recovery by being around clean ppl. I know there are many that wouldn't have made it w/o doing the twelve steps though. I'm not knocking them. I used parts of it for my needs!

I was in the military from 1984 to 2007! As long as a soldier can produce a script and the bottle with their name on the label? They are okay to take them. If you can't prove they are yours? You are likely to be put out! We had surprise urine tests quite often.

Jethro has never been in the military!

Now! I finished the 30 day program and then started seeing a probation officer. Four months later my entire unit was activated for Desert storm in 1991. I was released from my probation due to I was leaving to serve and defend my country. I divorced my younger husband during the time I was gone for Desert Storm.

I met another soldier from WI and after my tour was up I moved to WI with him. That turned into a nightmare and I was drinking bottles of cough syrup with codeine in it. Went to another rehab center for seven days. Came out and left the nightmare. He was a true Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!

I met my third husband at a NA party. I moved in with him before we got married five years later. After living in WI for seven years. I had had enough of the snow and blizzards. So I moved back to AR. My husband started really abusing me and constantly accused me of having affairs with old BF's because I wasn't interested in sex anymore! I was on the Depo-Provera shots for birth control and it literally kills the sex drive. He also has a foot fetish and it turned into a horrible nightmare story dealing with that issue. After one of my surgeries I was introduced to Hydro #10mgs. That was my new love. I literally dove head first into a bottle of them and stayed messed up for years on them. The pp's were also the reason I was able to endure being with my husband. Basically they trapped me in a relationship I should have left many years before.

I knew I was in trouble and called a methadone clinic to see what they could offer in way of helping me. The woman that answered the phone told me that could be the worst mistake I could ever make in my life by starting the methadone. So that was out of the question as an answer to my dilemma.

I made the decision to go off the PP's cold turkey! OMG! I thought I had died and would never get past the sheer horror of what I had put myself into. But I did survive. It took 30 days to even get back to some resemblance of who I was supposed to be. I climbed the walls day and night. Went w/o sleep for two weeks. I'd stand at the living room window looking out in the pen at my Silkies and would just cry. They would be standing out there crying for their momma! I had my BIL come over to help care for them during the day and the XH would close them up in the barn at night. I crawled my way back to life and proceeded on from there.

One night a GF invited me to go out for awhile into town. She's deaf in one ear and talks loudly. So I decided just to drive around the countryside and talk. Catch up on stuff. I got her home at 3:00 am in the morning. Her husband wrote me a note to give to my XH as a laughing joke. I left the note on the kitchen counter and went to bed. When he got up that morning for work he read the note and then wrote on the back of it: "I'm going to get the name for an attorney and file for a divorce!" WHAT? We had been getting along better since I got off the pp's. I was dumbfounded! So I went on about my daily chores waiting for him to get home. I asked him why he wrote that when he got home? He said: "Because that's how I felt that morning!" I asked if he'd done it? He said: "No!" I got up from the couch and looked him straight in the eyes and said: "Well you might want to do that!" Then I walked outside.

I knew I was never going to have any freedom staying with him. He was telling me every week we needed to separate and get a divorce anyway. I started preparing to leave and to divorce him. During this time I was reintroduced to my husband Jethro. We met and dated a summer when I was 15 and he was 17. We hadn't seen each other or spoken in 32 years. And of course that’s another story all in itself - which I've actually typed up into a story, because it's a WOW of a story!

While still living at my XH’s house I sold all the chickens except my Silkies. I had around 75 chickens all together. The Silkies eventually came home with me. I drove every day to tend them while he was at work. God how I missed my kids and worried for their care when I wasn't there. The XH didn't like them. And I’ve seen him not be so nice to them.

I moved out to my daughter’s house and then two weeks later moved into Jethros house with him. My XH knew where my daughter lived and was threatening bodily harm to myself. Didn’t want my daughter or granddaughter harmed. He was so crazy he said he was going to come take the Ruger .22 rifle back I had taken with me. It's my freaking rifle!

I stayed off the PP's for two years. Then I ended up injuring my uterus and ovaries in a job I did on the Army base. I was in so much pain and begged the VAH doctor for a hysterectomy. He refused! He wrote in his notes: "This patient is mental; she's in here for pain meds only. Admit her to the mental department and have her evaluated and by NO means give her a hysterectomy!" I told Jethro I was going to die. A year later! After filing a nine page complaint against the VAH, daily emails, phone calls and a multitude of exams. I was sent to Houston, TX to see an OBGYN doctor there. He dug so deep up in my uterus trying to get cells to check for cancer that I was screaming STOP IT at the top of my lungs. I was crying so hard I could hardly breathe as well as bleeding profusely all over the bed and floor. He apologized profusely and then told me he'd do the surgery. But it couldn't be done until two months later when he returned to the hospital. I then boarded a plane and flew home to wait the two months. SO? Right after I woke up after surgery the first words out of my mouth were: "The pain is gone!" And all this time I could have been out of pain? I was given pain meds to take! Two years down the drain!

I had to have both boobs biopsied and that was so painful I went back on the PP's. I've had shots in my back that put me in so much pain. I went back on the PP's. As well as many other things. Three back to back hemorrhoid surgeries in a year! My ankles are damaged, my right knee is painful, my right shoulder is painful, my lower back, damaged lungs, skin cancer issues, frost bite on both hands and feet and there's probably more I'm not remembering! So as far as having legitimate issues for taking PP's? Yeah! I have many of them. But I prefer to live w/o them when possible.

Awe that's too bad you got hooked on the PP TOD.

Butter where are you? We miss you my dear! I was going to bake cookies today but couldn't find my Butter! It's getting boring without you!

Blue hope your sinuses are better today!

Allfor it looks like you took a day off?

Soverylost thinking of you on this frigid frosty morning. We are at -20 wind chills. Glad my kids don't have to wait at the bus stop this morning.

Ok Butter...hope you are reading this and check in here ASAP! Let us know how you are doing!

BlueChair

I think Butter has landed herself in a large snowpile and cant get out ! Who wants to go and retrieve her? Clean your closest but will have to wait for the kids to return to school on Monday. At least snow is water!

Tod, you've had a lot of harsh life experiences. One thing stands out is the abusive relationship you were in. Taking the pills in part to block it out and to keep going. It reminds me of what Eyes shared with us. Its also something we are warned about on the family side, like the books we have been reviewing, because its easy for many people to fall into the pattern of drinking, using a substance or other unhealthy behavior to cope. I appreciate you sharing this part because it brings it to life. I think when people share their stories, it helps break some of the crazy myths out there about drug use. Why people start, what keeps it going, opportunities to stop, things that came along to challenge a person every step of the way.

Feeling better today. Last night Mr Blue was worried about me. He said he wants me to twke care of myself, just like I want him to take care of himself. Then he started coming up with ideas. He said, he knows I do lots of things for myself, but he questions if there are relaxing enough. He suggested I try dedicating time during the week to yoga, because he knows I like it, and used to do it more. I said the friend I used to go with doesnt go anymore. Then he said in a joking way, so if your friend jumps off a bridge you will jump too? He said you could invite another friend, or go alone and maybe make a new friend, or you could practice at home if you would rather. He was adorable. Then he said, you dont even take your vitamins everyday. I said how do you know that? He said because we share the bottle, he can tell they last longer than they should and he takes his. I said sometimes I forget, and he said how can you forget a yummy gummy? I guess hes paying attention to these things but has been silent. Hahaha so now Im busted on my vitamin intake! Im going to think about dedicating time for yoga along with my regular exercise. It does have a calming, relaxing effect on me and at the end of the work day it might help if I can squeeze it in. For this moment Ive got my coconut water antioxident infused!

Sovery, good H got home ok. Is he feeling better?

Clean did u really run out of butter, so no cookies? That happened to me one night. The butter was gone. Another time eggs were gone. I bet you will come up with something else. Do you guys like pudding? I like the stove cooked pudding nice and warm on a chilly night. When we were on vacation I bought tapioca for pudding. I had to give the remaining to the caretaker, I was afraid they wouldnt let me take it home on the plane. Each little tapioca looks like a bb, lord only knows what would have happened at security.

cleaninLI

Awe blue that is so sweet of your husbunny to check up on you. Don't forget your gummy! Get yourself a plastic pill holder thingy. That's what we use so we don't forget.

My daughter, 10 year old, just complained of feeling weird...like hot and cold sensation. So I checked her temp and she has a fever of 102.8. So I'm worried about her. My son has been sick all
week.

Ok gave her some Tylenol. Hopefully, that will lower it.

BlueChair

I had that feeling too, chills then hot. I had a 99.7 degree fever last night. Its not a good feeling at all, hope the tylenol helps.

PinkCloudsCharley

Wow, Tod, you certainly have had a most interesting life! To be honest i got tired just reading it, much less living it! I can see how you fell into addiction a few times there but you seem stubborn enough to pull yourself out, and i mean that as a compliment!

Clean, sorry to hear your daughter isn't feeling well. That's what Ds had last week too. Is it just me or has this winter been horrible with colds and flus?

Blue, Mr Blue is so darn sweet, taking such good care of you and making sure you take care of yourself! Glad to hear you feel better today.

Last day of no daycare, weekend and then back to work on Monday. Not looking so forward to it, my manager will be retiring at the end of the week. He's been the best manager I've ever had, not to mention he reminds me a lot of my dad, so it'll be hard to see him leave.
.
Picked up Sil and Bil and kids from the airport today, they had a good trip despite all the dramatics beforehand. Thankfully I didn't kill their cat while they were gone. Phew! Kids I'm good with, plants and pets, not so much.

Crossing my fingers for a calm weekend for everyone!

allforcnm

My fingers are crossed we all have a calm weekend too..

Cleanin it looks like your kids are keeping you busy during their break, what bad luck for them to get sick on their vacation time. I hate to hear about the fever... is it me, or do kids get more fevers and they go higher? My sons will shoot right up and I always panic. I hope they feel better over the weekend.

SVL, I have so much to learn.. didint think about the possibility of daycare closing up, having their own type of spring break.. there are so many things to think about with kids.. so far Ive been lucky and have been able to use family and a couple friends when need be.. but he does use daycare at church.. and he likes to play with the other kids.

Blue, please rest this weekend and take care of yourself.. you husband is very sweet and I hope he watches out for you this weekend.. take your vitamins.. my son uses chewables too.. but he loves them.. would take more than he is supposed to because he thinks they are candy.

I did take the off yesterday, getting lazy watching my shows.. LOL.. but Im always with you in spirit.

TOD, I agree with SVL.. your summary sounds exhausting.. thank you for sharing it here with us.. I know the story of you and Jethro, which is a beautiful story.. you had been apart so long even though you knew each other when you were teens basically. One can never tell how things turn out can they.. Too much access to pain meds.. thats how my husband become addicted to them too.. he didnt have as much legal access as you did however... but they didnt start tightening up until the last few years so it makes sense.. this is why I feel so bad about Jethro.. they just keep passing them out to him... but I know your determined not to go back this time, and life has changed a lot for you.. all for the better..

Where is Butter? I miss you Buttercup. Hope your doing ok, please check in with us when you can.. Im sure your busy getting back to your classes, trying to catch up. I know its hard coming back when your heart is back home with your family right now.

You know y'all? I think we should all be able to buy American made stuff, at a reasonable price though! Then ppl in the USA could start finding jobs again at a better pay rate because the demand would be greater. Then some of the smaller stores could make a comeback and the bigger stores would have to get on the same page with them in order to stay in business! I try to buy stuff in walmart that's USA made. I found some garlic powder at one of the other nice walmarts awhile back that comes from California. Grown and processed there! I've gotten all sorts of warning emails about buying garlic from other places! Ik Ik though! Some of us aren't in the good ole USA!

I had to laugh at my friend's text the other day. His wife bought him a large pair of long johns made in Mexico! He said those large sizes in Mexico just don't fit his large American size! ROFL He actually needed the XL pair though. An XL would totally swallow my small mom!

Your dad SVL is very correct in saying we aren't the only ones here in this world. Even the dead are amongst us! A friend of mine was taking pictures of a grave yard one day just for the heck of it. She was showing me this picture where it looked like two large smokey eyes at the top of the picture. I glanced down at the bottom of it and pointed at an image asking her if she'd seen it? It was a small bodied person with their knees drawn up to it's chest, it's arms wrapped around it's legs/knees and it's head turned looking at the camera. She went nuts! LOL Screaming and hollering all the way across the road to show her mom the picture. She came back out of breath saying: "How did I not see that before now?" Sadly she's misplaced the picture or I'd share it with y'all.

As for the bed jumping happening on the road? All the time! It especially happens with soldiers when they are shipped out for months at a time. I'm pleading the 5th! I've always told them: "Just don't take anything home that Ajax can't wash off!"

Yum! Brownie batter! Raw biscuits! Cake batter! Cookie dough! Raw potatoes! I'll stop now! I had to cringe though at the Wisconsin folks eating raw hamburger meat with a slice of onion on Rye bread! Oh hell no!

Don't you girls know that our sex drive comes from between our ears? Our over active imaginations! Come on now! Who needs 50 shades of Grey anyway? I think the younger ones on here need to see the movie and report back to us older folks!

I'm throwing my hands in the air and saying: Score for me and CleaninLI being the tomboys here! You girlie girls can enjoy your panty hoses and high heels. As for being a mom to the kids here? I put the manliest clothes on I can find to deal with them. LOL Washing Molly's poopy butt in the bathroom sink in a dress and high heels this evening? Ain't happening! NOPE! Can't see it! I haven't worn nail polish since 2006 either! Just the smell of that stuff brings back horrible memories! I was terrified of what my XH would do if I didn't have my nails done nicely when he got home from work. And he loved the smell of nail polish! Made him super "H"y! Now y'all run along with that thought in mind and do your nails.

SVL: Good God! A 12 yro writing the books of 50 grey shades! That's too much to even take in right now. LOL

My mom threatened me at every turn! My dad just laughed! I was in the ER so many times my mom said: "I should rent a room just for TOD!" I was always into mischief! I got caught with a book of matches trying to light a fire in the leaf pile right beside the house one day. Damn I got my butt blistered for that one. An hour later I was off looking for more crap to get into! When I could barely walk and still in diapers? I walked a block down our country road to make mudpies in the dirt at the end of the road that went to my grandparent's house. Mom was hysterical trying to find me. My dog, boots, was with me and ran home to bring her back to me when he heard her calling my name. Mom hugged me all the way home. The 2nd time I did it? She busted my butt with every step I took home. Needless to say: I didn't do it again!

Blue: You have some catching up to do on the AP!

I've saved things of my daughter's as well. I've been sending them to her over the years. It's mostly things she's made and hard copy photos! She loves the photos. Has a shoe box she keeps them in! My daughter will be 35 years old this summer!

CleaninLI! Ik right? Where's a camera when Allfor is hanging from a top shelf or has her butt sticking out from somewhere she's crawled into? And we all know her mouth is moving silently with the words she's using due to the situation! ROFL

How many of y'all listen to country music? "Neon Moon" just got thru playing on the music channel on TV! Man! Brings back memories of 2-step dancing around the floor in Panama! Can y'all believe this non girlie girl used to wear square dance skirts and square danced? LOL



SVL: It wore me out just trying to type all that and get it in order that it happened! And of course I left a whole lot out! Didn't want to bore y'all to sleep reading my life story!

Y'all all have husbands in their addictions/Recovery! Me and Eyes are the Recovering folks ourselves. And then there's young Buttercup that got introduced into the addiction world by someone she met! I'm actually quite jealous of Buttercup! Young, going to school out of country, her whole life ahead of her! Sigh! And then there's my husband still using the pain meds off and on! I so badly want to just step away from it all at times. But I'm too strong minded to do that! I love Jethro and want to stay the battle with getting him off the pain meds. I waited 32 years to get him back. I can't just up and walk away. We truly do have a magical story between us! It's one of those stories that could be told over and over on these live TV shows.

I hope everyone is having a safe warm weekend. We have snow coming later this evening! Did y'all know the persimmons after being sliced in half showed a spoon shape? Shoveling snow is what they predicted!
