    From the mouths of babes

    I've not been having a very good night tonight, worst one for a while actually. I dont really know what triggers a tough one. Anyway the usual routine now if im wanting a drink is to get in a hot bath with a drink of coke (still craving sugar) and put some music on.
    Having 5 kids its very unusual to be able to get a bath without one of them needing the toilet. Tonight it was Kai, my 7 yr old. He noticed my drink of coke on the side when he'd finished and said mmm that looks nice which is Kai~anese for "Dad give us a bit of your coke"
    So after finishing the glass after i said he could have a sip he gave me a kiss and said "You don't have beer in your coke anymore do you" (when he used to ask me for a sip i had to say no as there was more vodka than coke in the glass) "No mate i dont"..."Thats good dad" he said.." Your kinder when you dont drink beer".. Then he toddled of out the bathroom leaving me thinking did he mean in general or with my coke. I had to smile thinking either way.. Its a good thing
    I don't care who you are...Your not walking on water while i'm fishing..

      Hey, Macks!!!

      We've missed you on here.

      How the hell have you been?

      I can identify with what you've posted.

      For me, the ultimate moment is when I kiss my daughter goodnight, and we tell each other how much we love one another. I usually missed that, because I would be passed out already.

      My son doesn't do kisses any more (he's 12), but I get a tight hug every night.

      They make it all worth it don't they?
      I'll do whatever it takes

        It does Tip, it does to me. The anxiousness has eased off now. It passes, it always does eventually. Not been on much latley because i have been trying to make my house a home.

                Oh, Mack, we aren't fooling them, even the tiny babes. So sad, really, but their eyes are so clear and their hearts are so pure, we SHOULD listen to them. You gave him a special blessing, you know. Good to see you.

                  You couldn't script that Macks - I write those little gems down in the back of my journal!!
                  I'm a much nicer Mummy without the booze (even thought they still drive me crazy occasionally!)
                  Good to see you.
