Biz - I love that picture. I don't know....it just touches my heart. Thank you for posting it.

Sun - I don't really have 'cravings'. I can't drink. Period. I have had a couple of fleeting thoughts but I just know that I can't so they don't stick around. Today is the first day that I have felt sort of down or maybe wishing that I could go back to the old habits. Not because of cravings actually but because of habit. So, luckily I can't. And as I analyze it, I realize that I was up way too late last night (didn't go to bed until 3:00 am). I got up and came to work. I had to deal with the whole cat bringing the rat in the house drama last night. So, I would have turned back to my way of handling things. But, I can't. This Chickadee is going to learn how to deal with life. :upset: So, today is a little confusing to me. But, I'm getting there. :h

I has returned. What a TERRIBLE drive home! Raining buckets for 3 hours in car with 2 teens and an 8 year-old! We passed at least 8 accidents on the 115 miles if interstate we had to travel. Whew! Glad to be in my house, tho I didn't want to come home.

Hi Ruby - welcome home - sorry about the drive though - we have had rain here most of the day too - and temps of the mid 50's. Chilly damp day! But I did hoover!! Haven't cleaned the bathroom yet but I did hoover!

Jan - as far as people and feeling - I think that you allow yourself to feel certain ways - you only feel the way that you want to feel - when someone upsets you and you feel hurt - it is because you are letting yourself feel hurt - it is your choice! You are the one in control of how YOU feel. I used to get so upset and hurt - but these days I try and think either that I feel sorry for folk who think that way, or else I am glad that I am NOT that way - I choose how I react to what life throws at me. Others might disagree with me and that is their prerogative but it has made my life a whole lot easier! Maybe age has hardened me? LOL

Grateful - please don't think I am in any way, shape or form putting down how you are feeling - this is just how I feel about it - it hurts me that someone has hurt you. you are a real sweetheart and I hate that someone obviously took advantage of that!

Nora - thanks for sharing with us how you are feeling. I am still not sure that I want to take the Ant. I have been doing lots of reading on-line about it and feel really leery about it.

I need to get some dinner - back later. Hugs to all,

love, Sun xx

So tired I'm going to bed early. Great time with kids, except for one bad episode with Taylor. She's 17, hormonal, has been raised in a madhouse, so when I put my foot down, she doesn't know which way to turn. Got mad and called her mother, who in turn called raising hell with my son, and I called him just after. He was ready to be mad at me but I straightened his ass out quick, and he apologized for everyone. Tay later left me notes all over the house telling me she loved me, and cleaned cabin top to bottom to make up. I'm taking her to Tip's associate for her first gyn exam next month, see if they can help her get through the time she's having right now.
Sleeping with Grace is like sleeping in a washing machine. She started out on her side of the bed, ended sideways on mine, all knees and elbows. Tomorrow I'll post some pics of our trip, and I'm happy to say we made it back today without me being charged with any homicides. Grace has a new song - 'Tell you right now, I'm a-going fishing, momma's going fishing too. Betcha right now I can tell you something, I'll catch more fish than you. I'm a-going fishin', momma's going fishing, we're a-goin' fishin' too!', and she sang it 5000 times coming home, so I'm one tough granny.
Later, gaters!

The family feels complete since Mimzey is home........
Roger...is there a Habijax office near you????Maybe you could see if they need some work done...I know some of it is volunteer, but it would get you some connections.......or can you go woek for someone else for a little bit as a carpenter or something just to bring some money in????????
Quiet weekend....Yeah Tony...My Jags pretty much suck and they are talking about replacing the quarterback and coach.........
it is dry as a bone here..but expecting rain this week......glad u made it home ok Mimzey
Panno...if you check in later, you might want to consider antabuse.....me, Nora, Over It and K9 are forming an antabuse sorority....mine has not arrived yet and i am terrifed to try it, but want to.......
Hope to hear about the next step with my job interview this week
Biz....make sure Grateful gets a pop in from me!!!!!!!!
Prayers to you this morning Bird......
Good Morning Sweet Vicki...
tried to color my roots last night, so i have lite brown hair at the top and blonde at the bottom....looks absolutely ridiculous, but when you have a tight budget you get home made hair!!!!
Gotta get a cup of coffee and figure out what to do with this mess.....maybe I can swirl it around on the top of my hair like balding men do.....
And sweey Sunni.....I am gonna work on not letting others afffect me so much.....I tend to be very reactionary and get my feelings hurt...that's what I meant when I said I was thinking about your comment...
Calico Car mama signing off for now
I love you all to pieces!!!

Good Morning lovely peeps......If you have seen my thread I started today it will tell you I have been drinking and thats mainly the reason why the cat had my tongue!! Anyway I'm back on track head wise just gotta make it stick this time and I'm ready to throw everything at my sobriety, I do not want to live my life with a constant hangover and living with the shame and guilt, enoughs enough and as I said on my thread - Its time to walk the talk. No more softly softly approach to this now, its going to stop here and now.

Thank you for letting me get that off my chest, now I must read back and catch up on all of your news.

Luv P :l
