Hi everybody!

Nibs, I make quinoa like rice but I always add a stick of seaweed that I discardwhen it's done. I also add chopped garlic and onion and whatever spice I feel like at the time. When I make breakfast quinoa I use apple juice and water and mulling spices

MA, look at the divorce thread and some one recently posted a thing called "Let It Go" - it's a good read.

Luvie, I have this room that needs painting.........:H

Well it's off to be after yet another great day at work... Wow
Thank God tomorrow is Friday !!! Even though it is the 13th... We'll be going out to camp until Sunday right after work tomorrow so I'll be away for a couple days. Our boys will take care of the animals and can reach us by cell phone if need be.
Take Good Care, I'm tuckered.
Hugs,xxx

I aint painting another damn thing! I am having the bathroom and kitchen tiled this next week and I truly dread it. It will be pretty but I dont even want the darn house touched right now, but I must finish up I suppose. So, tile here we come. It will be so pretty.

Greenie what is new in your life? Divorced yet?

I need to watch survivor.....I need to see the WACKO...

30 days???

Luvie I thought about you the other day. I was in Med Park building 2 I think but it was early AM and I had to get back to work.

My life?.........Gaaaahhhhhhh! Estranged one announced he wants to win me back. I don't want him to try. I guess I've been too damn nice to him. But I AM a nice person. Divorce is still in the works. I'm trying to push him along.

Seems I'm always doing chores and it's not very rewarding. Basically I guess I'm just plugging along.

I got a dining room table and chairs and have it put together. Looks good. Now to have people over......

Siblings visiting end of March. That'll be fun. I KNOW!!! I need to do some letterboxing!

love you guys, off to bed....................:l:l:h

I was at work yesterday too Greenie! Would have loved to have seen you.... Sometimes it is just OVER! I don't see you ever turning back. You are doing so well and ...he ...he isn't! And what he wants is security not a wife. You are doing what is best for Greenie...good for you!!!!!

Happy Sunday Ladies!!!!!

30 days???

GREAT DAY!

I just had the most wonderful day..................well, besides getting woken up at 4AM w/ the roof leaking all over the new wood floors, and probably ruining them in the bedroom at least..........another "Mike issue"..........silly me for trusting and depending on him for things like that, ha.:H:H

Well, went to the gym, worked off some frustrations, then went to a meeting, all about relationships, when to "let go" etc................man I cried the whole meeting almost, so many things hit home w/ me.............a guy was sober for 1 year, but wife drank every day, he ended up going back out and drinking again and it was really bad, sorta a reverse of my circumstance, huh?:upset:

Well after the meeting a guy friend, who I have known for a while asked me if I wanted to go get lunch, well, we talked and talked about EVERYTHING, feelings, problems, I mean I feel so close to him, like a BEST friend...................he knows my situation w/ Mike and still is wanting to be friends..............it is just cool, we are going to get together more often and talk like this.............was really really wonderful.............to have a guy's care, friendship (no strings attached etc) and perspective is good...................

Another day sober, feeling good in spite of the shitty weather, really wanted to ride, but looks like that isn't gonna happen, guess I will do some artwork, god knows I have enough projects going now....................happy problems, huh??

Love you guys, feeling loved is wonderful...............I know to be careful too, but it is just exciting for me................

BTW Mike didn't stumble in until 1AM drunk as usual, and is not home now, but called and sounds his usual sloshed self...................

I can imagine that meeting was very hard MA. BUT, I also know you heard what you needed to hear right now. Glad you have a friend that is close....we are so far away. In time, I feel you will get stronger and stronger and you are growing in life and well..Mike isn't. Don't let him pull you down. You can't make him change. We all know that change comes within ourselves.

[cowgal]

30 days???

yep

That is exactly what I needed to hear at the meeting and that is why I cried so much, it touched a nerve, a painful spot which I know w/ time will heal..................I know what I need to do, am slowly doing it...................one step at a time as they say. I have you all and my AA friends to support me through it, this is just not where I want to be right now..............I am now sitting here alone, will go out and get a cup of joe and read for a while at Starbucks.................beats sitting in this depressing dripping place...................kids are at the mall............why not??

XOXO:l:h

MA

30 days???

YES YOU DO!!!!! we are here supporting you and several of us know exactly how hard this is. In your own time and in your own way, you will free yourself. It isn't easy with or without children...Greenie can second that I think. You have nothing but my support.

[Niblet]

30 days???

Yep, Luv is right MA, we will be here for you through thick and thin... Greenie that certainly goes for you too. You ladies sound as though you have really grown in the last while and have left your mates behind. I agree also that nobody has the right to drag you down to their sad level where they are comfortable.
Well, I've had yet another crappy situation happen at work... I'd love some advice on this... As some of you may know Marilyn is a bully that is also embezzeling money from the company we work for. Just before Christmas I had a 100.00 float go missing, and often times she says my til is out money and I have to take in money from people without punching it in to make it up... Well, on Friday our Avon order came in. (it is a cosmetic company and her order was 12.00) Well she was unaware that she had to pay on that day and didn't have the money... somehow she paid for her order and then.... after taking my til off she told me I was 33.00 short and that she had to pay for that out of her pocket !!!??? I didn't say anything, because she is very bossy. So, now when I go into work tomorrow she snarkelly said, " You have to make up that 33 dollars because I'm tired of paying out of MY pocket".... the other lady who is in "kahoots" with her kept on saying to me, "you must be punching in stuff by mistake because your til is waaaaaaay out".... I use a cash button, set the money on top of the til and only put it in after I give the student their proper change that the til says"... gosh I even have the student wait until their debits are "approved" before they leave.... I'm sick and tired of being told I'm making these mistakes for her to line their pockets !!!! It makes me sick because I'm an honest person... My saying is 'if I haven't earned it I don't want it"..... any thoughts guys ?
My hubby thinks I should go along with it and allow her to steal to keep my piddly job. I really love working there but this part of it is WRONG and it really is bringing me down... I've not enjoyed my weekend and have felt sick over this... should I open a can of worms and talk to the big bosses down south? Her books are always made to balance so I couldn't "prove" anything. I'm tired of losing sleep.
I'm honesly thinking of bringing in 33.oo from home and hope that she will never do this again. I'll simply say to her" I'm paying for the mistakes I must have made on my til because I feel that making it up is not morally right"... hubby strongly dissagrees with this approach... I feel so alone is this crappy situation.
Sorry for being a downer today
