And the same back at you my delicious one!

I'm SO talked out and tired. Mr Bill decided to go off on another wild one last night and I am very much done. Stick a fork in me! Gawd, my own problem drinking is SO much easier to deal with than that crap. Fenny's gonna kick my ass when she gets back... she reckons I'm daft putting up with the crap and I should throw him out.

It was bad... he hurt Kenny and I jumped in (as one does). Took me all my time not to 911 it. Ridiculous drunken shit from him... just what I need... NOT! I sent him off and he stayed at a hotel but it's really retarded crap. And it's got old. I feel like a damn nanny.

Anyway, Kenny's here sleeping on the couch. And I've dealt with the idiotic crap as well as I can. If Mama had been here there would have been a can of whoop ass getting opened... I can assure you of that!

Off to brush my teeth and rest. Damn...

Zen I am so sorry you are having to put up with crap like that. Hope u are doing better this morning anyway.....hard to walk out but been there done that and I am thinking about you.

Off to church then visit dad. Haven't been to visit since we got back.
Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. We exchanged cards last night. The trip was more that we planned so it will probably be a dinner at someplace less expensive than the one we went to for my birthday. That is fine I need to climb back on the diet wagon again....

Back later.

Okay so I am going to read back now. I'm starting on page 64 though I suspect I will have to delve further!!! All I've gleaned so far in a quick perusal is Mama has killed an Armadillo but her husband is working out on an abandoned Bow Flex...and Fen is Frozen...like the movie...okay off I go....wish me Luck!!

Zen.... I expect you to kick his ass to the curb, love. This is ridiculous. I am concerned he will hurt you!
I drank some Pepto and felt better and we a very a quiet date night. I had two glasses of wine and came home and crashed..
Happy Anniversary Dots! Hiya kradle! Gonna text K9 and let her know we miss her.

Hiya!

Happy anniversary dots!

Glad your insides are in better shape today mama. Loved the pic of you on FB!

Zenny, I'm sorry you've been having problems with bill again. Have to say that I'm kind of in agreement with fenny on this. Sort of wondering at what point does enough become enough? Said with love. :l

Good going on deciding to get back on track at the gym nora! :goodjob:

How old is your son nursie? He must be quite young if you have him on your lap?

Have fun shopping in Home Goods liz. I'm pretty sure there isn't one near me but that's cos I'm over in the uk!

:hallo: kradle

Ok, the bathroom is somewhat overdue for a clean, so that's next on my agenda for today. :upset:

Have a great Sunday folks.

Good morning!
Zen, that reminds me if my ex. He would go on benders and become aggressive, break things, make a huge mess and not remember any of it.
I'm sorry you are going through this. I worry for your safety!
Kradle! Hi love!
Mama glad the tummy is better. I will gladly go with you to Zenny's house!
Niner Niner where are you?
Dottie, happy about your date today! That sounds like fun and it sure is good to get back into loving ourselves and going to the gym!

Me, it's been over a month sober except for the dive I took on vacation. And 3rd day on the nicotine patch. I only feel slightly homicidal. I forgot that quitting smoking is harder than quitting drinking. At least for me it is!

I'm excited about getting back into cooking (my passion) and have been making some yummy dishes. Tonight I'm making tomato basil chicken with thyme broccoli and a tomato basil risotto. (Thyme always makes broccoli 10 times better, I highly recommend it!)

I am also going on a hunt for a variety of chili peppers to make hot sauce. I'm going to make a few batches for variety and then see what I like best. If I make it now, it should be ready by Christmas to give as gifts. (I am a total chile head, love spices and heat!)

Right after I finish my coffee, I'm off to find hot peppers!
Have a great day lovies!

House is a mess. I'm just not a good housekeeper. I wish I had the housekeeping gene instead of the alcoholic gene.

Oh Nursie! That just made me laugh and laugh and laugh! :H I despise cleaning- I look at the vacuum sitting there - the Mop- the Broom- the iron.....and just feel like a deer in the headlights...
And second and third what Zenny said. :l your with us and we're with you so never ever a need to feel ashamed. Determined and resolute yes...sad and depressed...no! You are three days back in !!!:h

Okay ...still reading...

Zen, geez...:l

I'm curious- how on earth do things devolve to the point where Bill gets violent? I truly can't fathom it. It's friends, drinking. Who says what? I'm so puzzled by him.

Anyway...you know things won't change. He's always going to take things to this point sooner or later and I do worry for your safety with him. Honestly, you'd be better off single. :h

If you keep him around, next time call 911. He needs repercussions for his crap behavior.

Scared: "Lisa"s mom just called me and asked me to go check on her. She was drunk yesterday when I called to ask her about making hot sauce. That was 3pm. Then she called her mom 3 am still drunk and yelling, crying. She texted me at 5am something incoherent.
Now I can't reach her at all. I do hope she's just sleeping it off but please pray for us because I don't know what I'm walking into.
I'm really scared.

Nursie, go without the kid...make sure you have your cell phone. You may need to call 911. :l Is there another friend who can go with?

Here, Bill...I need you to hold this candle for me while I de-flea my nest. Back in a jiffy!

Nora, good for you about getting back on track and to the gym. :h

I love old movies, too. I think my all time fave is "Some Like It Hot", but there are SO many good ones out there.

Reccy, that's great news about Poppy! If you want to be on the safe side, you could have the vet x-ray her. We did that to rule out cancer with my mom's old kitty. Turns out he has kidney disease.

Sometimes, older kitties begin to lose some of their sense of smell, which causes them to lose their appetite a bit. It helps to warm up the wet food a bit. I would pick up all sorts of small tins of wet food and try them out on Poppy. My old kitty began to lose interest in her really mild smelling "turkey" wet food, and is now a fan of stinkier things, like salmon.

Also, there are some really high quality kitty treats out there- maybe pick up some of those. :h
