Hello everybody !!!
Makeup is my best friend..... Even though I scratched my eye in my sleep twice last night I was able to make it look quite normal... Although straight out of bed it looked pretty yucko... It'll be just fine... Gosh there are people starving in the world, have earthquakes etc... this is just a little bump in the road...
More2 you are sooooo funny.... "Say Cody did it"... LMAO !!! Just love your attitude xxx Wish I could spend some time hiking with you... Imagine that A-hole trying to scam your lovely home !!!! takes all kinds !!! Good for you being wise to him though.

Cowgal, I'm smiling just thinking out you It is sooo good to hear hope in your post... This is your year of change sweetie, and we will all be here to witness it. Thanks for being along with us on the awesome ride we're all on. xxx

oky, You bring so much light to this thread. How goes the yoga? Are you feeling like a spagetti yet LOL

Luv, your daughter is so lucky to have such a loving and supportive Mom... As she begins her time in highschool, she will gain the confidence that only a Mom can give to her. I would imagine that highschool is a pretty scarry place in a way. I remember when we all went to meet all the teachers and enjoy a tour of the school... I sure brings you back. Enjoy the water park. It sounds like the perfect way to enjoy the end of summer holidays !!! Yahooooo !!!!! Splash !!!
Well, tonight I cleaned in the outhouse that hubby built last summer. It is such a plumbers outhouse complete with a fake toilet tank, toilet brush, toilet plunger, fance seat, linoliem, copper pipe to hold the toilet paper and reading material,,, His pick of books, "How to crap in the woods"... honest ! He actually bought it for me on my birthday about five years ago... Quite the fella !
Then, I scrubbed all through the sauna, changeroom and shower. This weekend folks can shower outside and if they are out by the firepit or the horseshoe pit they can use the outhouse. I talked to my Mom tonight and it sounds like she is actually going to make an attempt to come. She hasn't been to our BBQ for the past 2 years. About 3 months ago she told me was unable to make it this year because she and my sister were going to rent a cabin... They had a brief falling out a few weeks ago and those plans were changed... so, Mom is free to come. They are talking again which is good.

Anyhow, it's after 9 and I'm still in my barn duds, so I'll have to grab a shower and hop into my jammies... Tomorrow is my last shift until Wednesday next week. Yahooooo !!!!
Hugs, xxx

Hi all,
Sorry about your eye nibs, the bbq sounds cool. My kids had open house tonight, my 11y.o. moving up to middle school clear across town. The place was a madhouse, and its right in the middle of the hood. Thank God theres a fence around it at least. Man, the cat is going nuts racing around and leaping about. We were gone a long time and she gets bored. Anyway...more2 looks like you may be keeping that house for yourself huh?? Isnt it Seattle or that area? I was born in Seattle. CG you are sounding better. Luv high school..geez...I am starting to freak out a bit about school for me. I'm not worried about the classes but about welcome week which starts next wednesday. There are some required activities like something called playfair which I'm not sure what it is. Sounds like some young people type thing where you run around and play volleyball or something. I know you are divided into groups. Seriously I'm scared shitless about it. Also a formal dress convocation where teachers get up there and make welcome speeches and whatever and I'm afraid I'll start crying. It may be boring to the younger freshmen but to me it is really something moving.. Only a few more days and all that will be over. It will turn out all right...love you all....bird

Yoga was great tonight...thanks for asking Nibs...feel very relaxed after...definately better than a drink

Cindi...I hope you are well and feel kinda bad for butting heads with Kate in your lenair thread but just kinda got to me...thought about my dad who loved me dearly...God rest his soul...but couldn't put down the bottle. And well...all of us who would die for our kids but have in the past made bad choices none the less.
Anywho...Nibs your are right...Brit is very blessed to have a mom so strong and supportive at this crucial time in her life as is your 11yr old Bird...just starting middle school. I have one off to College next week and the other is going into 8th. I think I "hid" my problem well enough and managed to put on a happy face thank you Lord...they are both strong young men and make me the happiest mom in the world.

Bumping it up. Where is everyone/? We are watching the olympics. The kids had a friend over and her parents were drinking. I could smell them 6 feet away. Wanted me to come over but I said no way I was on the wagon. Glad when they left. CG that is very exciting. Later on. love bird

Community is the best thing

Me too - day two! By the way, if anyone missed the opening Olympic ceremonies (as I did), you can go nbcolympics.com, and watch a 50 minute video of the 'show' part of the opening. I recommend it - absolutely awe-inspiring, a real testament to the beauty that discipline and belief can create. A great thing to watch for inspiration!

Sunday

Where is everyone?? I hardly ever get on here in the weekends, but sneaking on today while Mike at the store................

I am starting on day 1 tomorrow, I am promising myself, I have to stop this, and cannot wait until I go to Lenair, my body cannot handle this much longer.:upset:

Bird, good running into you at the store today, your girls are adorable....................I am sure they are excited about starting school, I know my guys are.................

Frustrating right now, as David wrecked his car, has community service and swimming tomorrow, have no idea how he isgoing to do this all ..........................I won't drink over it anymore though, enough is enough...............

Overall a good day, thought about all you guys often today, hope everyone is fine,

Love, :h

Howdy all.....sorry I haven't been on much. To be honest with my new found sobriety, I just find myself out enjoying life. We were at the lake all day today with the kids....what a blast and tomorrow off to Carowinds with my girlfriend and her family. I am very excited. I sunburned but happy.

MA....hang in there honey. You know Lenair won't make Mike go away right?? LOL I am teasing! I do pray that once you have some sober days behond you you will see what a beautiful person you are and get the courage to leave him. You and your children deserve so much more than what you have right now. I know you will lose material things, but honey in the long run you will gain so so so much more. AND in time, you will regain those material things as well. I am thinking about you.

I haven't watched one minute of the Olympics. I just don't like sports on TV much. I love going to the games live though. AND honey if one of my kids is out there I am a screaming lunatic. LOL I just signed up Zak for Fall baseball today. He plays both seasons every year.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!!!! I LUVUALL tons and tons!

SINGON...WELCOME to our family......jump right in and share your little heart out. That is what we all do. Good day bad day...whatever you need. Need to bitch about kids, spuse, yourself..LOL...whatever! WELCOME!!!!!!!
