    Jumping LOTS of hurdles these last 4 days!!!

    :eeks:

    It all started on day 2 when my boss invited me to her house to join the girls for even 1 quick beer. We usually do that every week or two which is always a rare fun time for us to connect away from the stresses of kids in the caffeteria. (We are "lunch ladies" ha ha)
    I made a bogus excuse that my hubby and I have a "special" date before the kids get home from school and they bought it even though a beer sounded good... Not really great though because the Kudzu (1 in morning, 1 at 1:00 and 1 around 2:30 peek craving time)
    When I got home on this hot sunny aft. my hubby was enjoying a nice cold beer and cleaning smelts. I truely didn't feel like one so I brewed a hot apple tea. I felt so free and proud of myself. That night when going to bed, my head was clear, my stomach was happy and I was looking so forward to the next day. Well, today hubby, myself and our 2 labs headed for camp... BIG TEST !!! I usually can't even remember as a rule what I've even eaten for supper until I see the dirty plates next day. Bad Eh !?!???
    Well hubby packed himself some beers and I packed a light snack (only went for the afternoon to spring clean a bit) We drove right past the beer store and went into the grocery store where I bought my favourite pop.. Diet orange crush. We had a wonderful day and I just wanted to share this story with ya'll . Sorry it's so wordsy, but I can't believe how the new found freedom feels. Thank-You all from the bottom of my heart!
    Have a wonderful rest of the weekend all !:thanks:

            Hey Niblet,

            I liked your story a lot. I know how good it feels just to be able to say no for ONE day, when you have been unable to say no for so many days beforehand. It is such a feeling of accomplishment from such a seemingly small thing. We all know what that feels like.
            Well done and Im glad you enjoyed your time cleaning up camp.

                  Niblet, thank you for sharing. You let us all know that it can be done. You just have to be in the right frame of mind and sounds like you are!!! Well done.

                    Congratulations!

                    Hey Niblet - fabulous to hear your excitement - it's funny how creative we've been in the past to hide our drinking - now all that creativity can be put to good use as we avoid it altogether! Many congratulations on your hurdle hopping! Looking forward to hearing about the next one! :goodjob:
