Hang in there Pauly, I think everyone on this site feels your pain. For me I can only think about what kind of morning I want to wake up to on 7/8. I just don't want that horrible feeling of loathing and taking so many steps back anymore. Family events are the toughest when everyone drinks.

Hey Nurdl!

HI Nurdl!!
How are you?
I am glad to be home...exhausted
We help my parents with a huge 4th of July party every year...we set up, serve and bartend. I always manage to make it through, as my parents have no idea of my issues.

Well rats! Came home & posted and see that it didn't go thru.

Nurdl - welcome back!! So happy to see you. :h

Funny - how much the nosie level goes up when you have 2 (13 year olds) and 1 (10 year old) in the house! Plus my 26 year old that they adore. :H:H

Well - off again. Let's see if this post disappears.

Thank you Nora! Missed you loads. Yes noise levels do go up with teens in the house and it becomes desperately quiet when they leave. Enjoy the chaos!

Hi everyone! :new:

Nora were practically twins what al your kids in the house now!

Mama you are such a worrier but I love that. My mom always worried about us and I really miss that. :l

Pauly I hope today was a really good one. Here's an idea for the fourth- bring your iPad...if you have one...so y can sit in the corner and post or read here...I did this last year and it was great.:l

Allswell I think I might try learning golf this summer. We have some free vacation at. Resort in Oregon and Golf seems to be a big thing there. I think me kids would love it.

Nurdl I know what you mean about being away from here. So glad to be back!

I feel stupid Nora as I had no idea this was a monthly thread..But that makes complete sense and actually makes it all the easier to keep track of ourselves. Smart woman!!! :hallo:

Don't have any plans really for the fourth. Trying not to be too depressed about it actually. All my friends are now gone and my nuclear family is gone too...

I bought some fun water toys so I guess we will play in Puget Sound and just be...in- de- pen- dant....

Hugs and heart,
:l:h

playing in Pugent Sound sounds lovely
I am up....shower then work....tomorrow....repeat
I have known Nora so long that I know when she disappears it's not good. But I forgot about the kiddos visiting.
so sad about the firefighters in Arizona
FT....so glad you survived the cuts at work and I am sorry for your friends.
So.....everyone at work was fussy, so I sent a silly email with a picture of the new Superman attached.
Fully clothed, no skin, etc... and my hand was slapped that it could be considered sexual harassment. WHAT???? Corporate America has gone overboard. I was just trying to get my team to laugh. Needless to say there will be no more emails from me.
I am off to the shower

Good Morning my friends,

Hope everyone has a fantastic day.

Well my hubs and I have decided after much prayer and consideration to voluntary surrender my RN liscense for a year, and for me to go to work in the mean time. This is so sad because I worked so hard to get them, but I also worked hard to lose them also thanks to AL.

I do feel pretty relieved considering all the rules I would have to follow.

Still AF 7 days done looking forward to 14, 30 etc.

Please pray for a job to come my way, soon. I haven't worked in over a year so you can imagine the financial strain.

Sorry to ramble, but thanks for listening. Will be around a lot today my support team is going out of town.

Love to all,
JDG

I am SO glad your hubs is there to support you....at least I hope he is supporting you
hugs sweetie

Hi Mama,

No did not get caught drinking on the job. I almost had my liscense back with strict requirements and I got a DUI. So the process is going to take a year if I pursue it now or I can wait, voluntary surrender, and it will be easier to get them back this is just temporary.

I really think it is the best option for me right now.

JDG - did they find out about the drinking because of you trying to get help for it? It just doesn't seem right that you are having to go thru all of this if it didn't affect your job.
But, with that being said, I do agree with you that it would be less stressful to just wait for a year. :l

K9 - where are you? I haven't seen you on Facebook either. I hope you're doing better. :l

Mama - sorry about the slap on the wrist. We've been having so much drama here at work. People sue at the drop of a hat now. I don't think it's right that so many frivolous law suits can be brought against companies. Anyway - I'm sorry that you couldn't just send out a funny e-mail without a problem.

Kradle - great to see you here. :welcome: The difference between you & me is that my houseful is going back home on Saturday. :H I actually called my niece last night and asked her if she was on her period. She said no - why? Because her daughter was acting VERY PMS'y. Crying at the drop of a hat, taking everything wrong. Whew - long evening.

Pauly, Nurdl, Allswell, Glass, FT and everyone else. Happy Wednesday!!!

Thanks mama, yea I survived and all that means is now with less manpower we remaining have to do more... Oh well it pays the bills right now and if I get these contract jobs occasionally during my days off it will help.
Home again Saturday and then Miami on Tuesday.
Hope you all have a safe 4th tomorrow that are celebrating, I will toast with my glass of water.
