Good morning everyone!

Mama...I am so thankful that so far I haven't run into any "churchy" types. That is totally not my thing and would make me really uncomfortable. It seems as though everyone that I have met and listened to have come to AA because they weren't comfortable in a churchy atmosphere.

I have done 3 meetings in 2 days and my daughter has now referred to me as an AA hussy! LMAO Of course she says it in the most loving way! Ha!

I'm at work too. Double Bleck.

Not too much to report from the weekend, it was nice and boring. My daughter KABOOM'ed her bathtub on Saturday so it looks good. But she stopped there...it did NOT even occur to her to keep going and do the toilet/counter top...etc (??) Whatever, at least the hairy monster is gone.

My girl is at her dad's until tomorrow night. I can handle 2 days of her being gone, but after that I start getting all antsy. I got SOME cleaning done yesterday and all of the laundry. But believe me, if fit in my naps and spent a lot of time crocheting. We're going to have scarves coming out of our arses. LOL

Hey AA Hussy, you sound good! :H Keep up the great work!

Back to (pretending to) work.

Hey K9...gotta love the things our kids come up with! Ha! My daughter heads back to college in a couple of weeks and I am going to be a friggin wreck! It has been so nice having her home this summer plus she is staying off campus this year so she won't be coming home as much as she did last year...ugh!
Try to have a good day at work....picture everyone in their underwear! Ha!

Just wanted to thank Nora for your sweet comment the other night & to all the others for making me feel welcome here & to everyone else to!

So happy for you Destiney! I spent several yrs in AA off & on. Learned many valuable things & still use them today. I'm still in contact with my Nana sponsor. She is 81 a real hoot, has 43 or 44 yrs of sobriety. My old sponsor is in her seventies & is from NY & met Lois Wilson. She also is a hoot & has 32 or 33 yrs of sobriety in AA. I could call or e-mail her anytime. I'm always welcome back, but at this time am implementing the philosophies & tools of MWO. Which for myself is the icing on the cake! Creating a happier AF person! I'm becoming a healthier person now to. This part is slower...


If you attend a lot of different meetings & try to keep an open mind you will most likely meet all types of folks. I eventually learned to just be happy for anybody who found there way out & realized some folks were so darn excited to be living again, that they wanted to shout it to everyone, tho it sometimes made me nauseous. AA is a spiritual program, not church!......

I found out my daughter dropped out of college & is supporting her BF basically while he finishes his degree, tho they are living with his parents. She couldn't get into nursing school here & has decided this isn't the career path that she wants to follow. Thus, why I was upset with her. Long story, but all is good now. This is their last day here & they are driving back to AZ. I'm very thankful I have one daughter left in town!... Still she is my baby & I'm going to cry!...... My grams told me it doesn't matter how old they get, they are always your babies, even tho there are days you feel like you could strangle them, no not literally. I'm just very close to my girls & it's so hard when they grow up & move away. :upset: I must have taken a hundred pics!....

Off to my eldest girls apt to swim, visit & cherish my honies. They all camped out here & it looks like the place did go "kaboom" hahaha.... Yes, that purple people eater cleaner easn't my fave either. Mamabear your wearing me out. What kind of vitimins are you taking girl? You have a tremendous amount of energy woman. I'm very happy that you are able to accomplish so much! You Rock! We all do

I'm grateful the temps are cooling & we have 2 portable ac units.

Hope everyone has a good Mon. :l

Hey - sneaking on at work again.

Des - you sound good!

Sun - thinking of you. :l

Wildflowers - you sound great too. I agree that our kids are our babies forever.

Mama - I have to agree. What vitamins are you taking????

I'll be back tonight - then you'll all be sleeping. I did a lot of surfing on here last night. But, I missed talking to you all. :h

AllONe, B12...lots of others
I think being sober and determined not to let the depressionmonster get me down is more of the reason, though
Wildflowers...I love your posts and I totally get what you are saying about your kids...I am wired the same way
so is Nora!
