Thank heavens for Netflix and good books!I love my family more than alcohol.:h

Oh Mama - I'm sorry. Hope you can just chill & relax tonight.
My hubby is upset with me because I'm drinking a beer. He doesn't even know that I have a bottle (hard stuff) hiding. So, back to the antabuse for me. The drama isn't worth it. Honestly, I'm not even that upset about it. I think that I was drinking because I thought that I wanted to.
I really was doing great not drinking.....so guess it's time to get back to that. Anyway, I like the happy stickers on my calendar. 
So, things are good in my world. I just had to work out what I wanted.
Thank you all for being here & helping me. I wouldn't have been able to reach this point without you!!!!"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

Nora, I saw cute holiday stickers the other day and thought of you. I'm glad you worked out what you want. Get back to the antabuse. Be careful that you don't mix it with alcohol. There's a warning that you should wait 24hrs after your last drink before you start it. If you were doing great without then get back to it. I care about you. Pour out the hard stuff. It feels good to have clean drawers... so to speak. I kept finding those damn wine-ponies all over the place for a while. Sheesh. The crap we did.

Nora.....I know you too well. I felt it......but I also feel that you are in a completely different place with AL and that this is getting easier for you
TTFP (take the F&&&ing pill) and get back to your happy place
Hubs is still being quiet....this is not like him. But he needs to quit being such a damn crab, so I am gonna let him stew. Why do husbands take everything out on us? He was going on and on and I finally snapped and said some harsh things, and I am sure I hurt his feelings He can be very racist and I tod him I was sick to death of his name calling and that he was vulgar and offensive and he was teaching our boys to be the same way. He is just like his father, and there are many times I agree with him in theory, but I chose different words and ways of expressing myself.
I was all kissy kissy last night to no avail......oh well. Ain't marriage grand??
He just left without for work saying good bye.....
other than that all is well at Casa mama...I would love to stay home under the covers today.
Paula I hope you aren't hurting too bad...
hugs to all who check in later....
Congrats again to Nurdl!!!!
ps...I found beer bottles for months!I love my family more than alcohol.:h

Late hello here, as I slept til 10 a.m. I gave myself permission to rest.
Taking elderly aunt to financial planner today--second time around. She's supposed to have 6 statements with her today, and she'll have 4. She wants me to help her, but would get angry if I asked if she had all 6, probably because she's forgetful, and doesn't want to be reminded of that. I'm a hand-holder, I suppose, and that's okay.
At this point in my life, I'm learning a great deal about what it means to be elderly. I find myself to be far more understanding and gentle when dealing with them than my excuse-making siblings. They're (siblings and husband) are judgmental, critical, impatient, and exasperated. Makes me very sad that they don't get it, and can't be kind.
Need your advice about some things when I have the time to ask.

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I've been kinda quiet lately...just in one of those moods where I don't really feel like socializing...but I do miss my friends here. Tomorrow I have an interview for the Community Services Officer position...basically it's a cop with no gun or power. LOL Wish me luck, I think the job I have now is so boring that it's sucking the life out of me. I promise to snap out of this funk soon.
Nora - TTDP...you know the drill girl. We still love you anyway :h
Mama - Sorry about Hubs...sometimes I'm so glad that I don't have a spouse to add to my irritation. But I hear ya...thank goodness for good books huh? I am reading one right now called "Woman's World"...really good, and it's sooo weird, the whole thing was written using clipping from womens magazines. I guess it took the author 5 years to cut and paste it together.
Anywhooo...guess I'll keep trying to learn how to interview...I'm googling away looking for the best answers to questions. Lord knows I've done it enough times I should have it down.
Be well everyone...love you mucho and I'll be back later!!!

My parents are/were both very racist toward their own race and other races as well. At a certain age, I don't think you can change one's view about that... Very sad.
K9: good luck w job interviews! Just be your sweet self!
Dottie; you are inspiring me to exercise everyday. I skipped yesterday and couldn't sleep. Definitely going to exercise tonight.
Juja: you just reminded me to do my own will before my mind completely goes away. You are nice to help her. Dealing elderly relatives is very challenging and needs more patience than dealing with children.
Ok, off to work now...Alcoholic (or Ally)
