The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!FOR MAY

Finally home!

Hi everyone. You're all probably going to bed & I just got here. :H

Mama - ok, seriously! You have to knock first! :H

Has anyone talked to Ruby after her appointment today? Bet, it's still sore and she won't be able to eat a hamburger (or veggie burger in my case).

Paula - you are sounding really good. I've been thinking of you.

Fen - You mean that I wasn't in the Amish rehab with you & Mama? I feel so left out. :H

RC - Great seeing you around.

Sun - how was your day? Guess you're still at work right now.

Bird - guess you're still busy with end of the school year stuff.

ATL - I'm sorry that you're so down. Have Luke give you a great, big hug!! Little boy hugs are wonderful. I'm glad he had a fun time at his party (I would have been so upset about the bumpers!!) I couldn't believe it when you said that he received 'regifted' presents. I am shocked that people would do that.

Oops - dinner time. I'll be back. Hello to one & all.......hope everybody is keeping on, keeping on. :h

I'm around, Nora, probably will be a lot tonight, and it was an awful day. Combination of other people's FUBARs. Really can't get into it. Teeth look great, but this is gonna be a learning process. Went straight to a restaurant we like and got a burger with nothing crunchy on it and smashed potatoes. I was able to get about a 1/4 of 1/2 by cutting it off and taking tiny bites. Brought it all home, though. It was too much work to eat. Lots of home-made soups in my near future, and NOTHING that pulls on them. :H Truly, I'm fine, no worries. Will tell a few of it in the future.
Glad you're home safely, my great friend.

I don't know for sure they were re- gifted but I am pretty sure. And I am shocked-- his best friend gave him the same game he gave him for Christmas!!! Luke spent an hour in the toy store looking to see what to give this little boy for Xmas and they are in fact best pals but the same game 2 gift giving times in a row is pretty thoughtless by his mom who is by the way the mom i actually am the frienliest with!And no receipt so it is not like we can exchange (no gift receipt is one give away with re- gifting, a gift that is a lower age range or something that looks really shop worn like it has been in your closet is another sign, not being asked what the kid is into a combo of all of the above). Anyway-- it turned out well for Luke so nothing to sweat.

MB-- your hub loves you, he is there to support you, you are deserving of his love. I would prefer that you pursue being sober for you not out of fear of losing anything-- surely your family would not abandon you in your struggle-- I know you feel bad but don't let fear be your main motivator-- be positive that you can do this, I think you can.

Nora I just want tO say that I read your whole thread today and I think you are truly amazing. I believe in you ( and MB and Fen etcetc) and I am rooting for you. I still feel low but I just wanted you to know I find you inspirational.

Ruby-- hope you are okay.

Tomorrow is my Bday. I wish I could skip it. Have meeting with Lukes teacher and my trainer. Maybe the trainer-- let's hope exercise or at least soreness diverts my blues!

Nora, perhaps you were in my dream, but one of the more obedient women!:H

Rubes, I will call you when I land in Atlanta...whatever you need for food, I will pick it up! How's that for service?

Rubes - glad you got your teeth. Just take it easy with them. When my Dad got his, he had quite a time for a while. He preferred to go without them. But, now he's doing just fine. So, hang in there.

ATL -I wish that I could do my happy dance for you. Now, that would cheer you up. :banana: But, seriously, I do understand and I'm sorry. I hate when these feelings come on like this. Just please come here & vent. This is the safe place to let it all out. :l
(PS - very sweet of you to say that about me. But, the truth is, that I should have got it by now. I look back at that journal and can't believe that I'm still struggling. But, thanks for the encouragement.)

Fen - Don't think I would have been one of the obedient ones. :H When are you leaving?

Look - at least somebody loves the red couch!!

[fennel]

Nora! That picture is so cute! But you've gotten rid of the red couch, right?

You haven't given up Nora and you are everything you have at this it seems to me. MB, you too. The fight has to be worth something. I know this is cheesy but in the movie Rocky Balboa there is a line where he says that it's not about how how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. You just have to take the hits and move forward. And I can assure you that you can do that.

Marks at hockey, hopefully I will fall asleep soon, Luke fell asleep while I was reading to him, I am going to exercise all day if I have to to avoid being up and feeling down like this on my Bday.

The couch will be GONE on Thursday. That's part of it that Scott put outside today. The critters decided to use it. Tell Mrs. Fen that she can have it for the cabin. :H:H

ATL - Thank you! :l No - I haven't given up. I am stubborn so I'll keep at it. I hope that you wake up & feel so much better. :l

Oh, I'm already ticked at Mrs. Fen for not accepting the leather love seat as a cabin possibility. Mrs. Fen is no vegetarian!

Amish rehab???? Too funny................that actually sounds like a good idea.
I am so jealous you are going to Mimi's cabin, Fen...I want to go
I read back and everyone sounds good.....
I am still fairly miserable...very long night with little sleep
Ruby - I hope you are ok and ATL - Happy Birthday...I hope your mood is better
It was Grant's pee pee.....not Clay's. And the door was half open
off to find some water

Thanks MB- up feeding Luke. Not much improvement here so I might just keep to my lonesome-- no reason to bring the rest of the world down-- 2 hours until the dreaded trainer. Mark is still in the rack after late night hockey, imagine he will get up before I get back from the trainer at least. Then the school conference. It's a bad sign that I want a nap and am thinking of what block of time I might have to take one (like-- if I don't eat lunch I would have 2 hours to sleep) -- that really means I am down-- maybe that endorphin rush (or more likely, pain) will change it.

MB-- hope you feel better as the day goes on-- I recall a drinking episode where I literally felt the AL effect for 5 days-- it was that bad-- so I feel for you. It will go away-- it just does not seem like it.
Fen and Ruby-- have fun!
