    Re: One Step at a Time - May 2018

    Well Saturday is almost over and I honestly can't believe it's it's so late. I guess I was busy. I worked today, got lunch for the boys, got my Mother's Day gift al ready. Didn't go overboard but I did get Erin a cute little plant for her first Mother's Day. One of the girls I work with is upset because her son "sent" her a card and had each one of the kids draw her a picture. She was very upset and disappointed. She expects her kids to really go all out for her and they didn't. I thought that was so sad, I have no expectations and anything they do is treasured.

    I was on the phone a lot today with my sisters and my girls. Lots of turmoil with my niece again/still. It's a long story but her actions are having a ripple effect through the family and we are all just heartbroken. I worry how my mom will react to this latest development and of course my dad can never know. So I am emotionally drained.

    Bird is dd1 depressed? Do they have a diagnosis for her? How long has she been this tired? Mystery diagnosis? Sounds like you guys are making progress with the house and cars. Glad at least someone is helping you.

    Nora, glad you got out to the dollar store. I did too! Those fish bath mats sound so cute and I don't think there dumb at all! I bought Cjs new kitten a little collar with a bow and a bell. I just couldn't resist! Strange how these random thoughts pop up in our heads. Glad your never going to drink again. May I ask if you think about drinking a lot? For me the thoughts are not as often anymore, but I am still being very vigilant.

    Rusty, hope things go smooth and easy in MN. Are you driving or flying? Will you see your mom tomorrow?

    Pauly, how was work? Is it busier on Saturdays. I would think it is. Finicky fish, that's adorable!

    Well my normally quiet neighborhood is not so tonight. It's almost midnight here and some people are playing loud music from their car and talking loudly. There's a restaurant/bar up the street a bit and I'm thinking this group had a little too much to drink, Ugh!

    I'm so glad you all enjoyed my little spell check debacle. I need to proof read I guess, lol.
    Well I hope your all have a good quiet AF night.

      Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely moms here on our thread and visiting moms as well. :heartbeat:

      Glassie-I hope you had a nice Mother's Day as I know it is evening now in Oz.:love:

      I am taking my Mom to Church and then my brother and his family are hosting a lunch for us. I'll drive to MN after I drop my mom off at her apartment. It will be a 5 1/2 hour drive but it is totally doable because I don't drink! YAY!'

      Nora-I used to lie all the time to my doctors about how much I drank. UGH!

      Off I go....I hope everyone here has a lovely day: Nora, Glassie, Liz, Pauly, bird, [MENTION=18725]NoSugar[/MENTION], [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION], and anyone I missed...thank you for being here!!!

        Hi all,
        Happy Mothers day to all:heartbeat:...got a lot done in the house yest. And yes dd1 has had problems with depression since puberty. Getting her to take care of herself can be difficult. She has recently quit caffiene, so that is part of the fatigue. Did get her out to help with the house yesterday. Life is hard for dd1, but she is better than she was in high school, which was a very hard time..dd2 cleaned up the house last night and left a teddy bear in my chair with a card from both girls. Very nice, and I shed a tear.......Lizann, I love the kitten collar! I wish my cats would wear a collar, but they throw a fit. Sad about coworker. Our kids are the gifts.....Nora, I love random thoughts popping in. Always thankful for sobriety......Rusty, have a good time with family. Do you enjoy the driving? I love getting on the interstate and drive drive drive (except atlanta).....oh and my adoptive mother and I fought like cats and dogs. I miss her though (long gone)...

          Happy Mother's day to the mom's! Liz,your coworker sounds like a brat tbh! I think that's a nice gift but maybe cuz im sentimental and like that sort of thing,I took an giving Kell a plant and a,gift card to Famous Dave's I really am grateful that she's such a wonderful mom to Louie and Romeo Bird,quitting caffeine will definitely cause fatigue and also a bit of depression as my doctor pointed out,hope your daughter starts feeling better soon,what a nice gift you got to Nora,the fish sound cute,is there a theme for the shower?I remember doing Kell's and filling up a gazillion little boxes with m&ms it was tiring but fun,my favorite game was the candy bar smashed in a diaper and people had to guess which kind,,its gross but really funny watching the reactions haha,Rusty,you drive safe sweetheart,I hate driving honestly,people can be so aggressive and I drive like a nerd! Slow and steady Glassy,hope all is well in your world,much love and wishes for a super,sober Sunday!
          I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

          I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
          Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!

            Hello everyone. Happy Mother's Day to Mommies & families.

            My niece flew in from Texas and she spent a few hours here today. It was really nice. We had a good visit. Mom perked up for the last half hour of the visit and they had some good laughs playing with snapchat.

              Liz - you asked me if I think about drinking a lot. No - I don't. I rarely think about it. But, then I'll have a memory or thought and I try to see the reality. I saw this today.

              It's easier
              to stay sober
              than to get sober.

                      Aww Nora, hope you feel better! Did you see the doctor? Sending hugs and well wishes your way.

                      Mom called me at work asked if I could come over tomorrow and sign some things at the bank.i am their executor. Of course I'll go. Hubby got all nasty on me tonight, this should've already been taken care of. I asked him to explain something about the statements to me and he flew off the handle, he's got to much other stuff to handle. Then he goes down by Mark and just repeats she doesn't know what to do, this should've been take done already. I didn't argue at all and tried to keep a calm tone. I had just asked him to help me with something. I'm just so hurt and sad right now. He went out to mow the lawn, came back in after and said I'll just take the baby and go with you, condescendingly. All I really want is a kind explanation without the drama, and anger. He has been through this with his parents and knows a great deal about handling their finances. He has showered and now is avoiding me, not speaking to me. Really, I honestly wasn't mean or angry at all. I just don't even know. I'm leaving it here because this makes me weepy and I want to drink, Mark knows that too and tries to run interference. I don't want him involved. Hubby is mostly a good guy and helpful. Lately I have been seeing his nasty short temperedness and I am terrified he is becoming like his father. I'm probably just making a big deal about nothing, thanks for listening.
                      Hope you're all having a good Monday.

                        Liz - I get it! Big time. I'm sorry about the papers. I think that is all very confusing and I'm sorry that hubby is not being supportive. I know exactly what you mean about hubby turning into his dad. I have actually said that to him before (and it made him mad).
                        And - great job on not drinking because we don't drink. We get mad, we cry, and we feel what is going on. And sometimes that sucks! But, it's better than drinking. :heartbeat:

                            Aww, Liz!:hug: I so understand where you are coming from, and I hope a good night's sleep will help you. Maybe your hubs was impatient because he thought your question could wait til morning? I am glad Mark was watching out for you and I hope you didn't drink....so hard to do as I used to escape with a bottle when I felt anxious, too! My brother's wife thought my brother had turned into my dad, too, and divorced him. :-( [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION]...my brother would get SO mad when my ex SIL would say that, too.

                            Nora-hope you are feeling better, sweetheart.

                            Hey Pauly! :-)
