ODAT - Tuesday

[Bessie]

Morning all. I'm going to draw a veil over last night. Yesterday was the oddest day I have had in a very long time. Started well enough but I just... I dunno.... lost interest in it. I was well out of sorts. Not motivated by the jobs I am normally striving to do. Maybe it was too hot. Whatever. I feel better today, despite drinking last night. But that was part of my odd/bad day too. And, more importantly, it is history. Over. Finished. We move on. Today will be a better day. A sober day. ODAT. For me and for those of you who join this thread.

Love to all to come. :h

Good morning all.
Work has been brutal but Monday is over, hopefully today will be better!
My plan is to have dinner with my son tonight and have a heart to heart. He turned 18 recently and considers himself an adult who doesn't need to follow anymore house rules. He remains a good kid but just totally clueless about how inconsiderate he can be. Cooks, doesn't wash up. Expects his work uniform to be washed but doesn't put it in the hamper, its on the floor, etc. So i told him I'm going to go on strike! I want higher wages for being his mother. Tonight we sit together around the table to see if we can agree on some terms........wish me luck. I hope I don't get so frustrated that I order a wine.

Hi FRN

Good luck with your son. How about costing out a housekeeper/carer wages and presenting him with a bill?!! :H:H

Don't let him drive you to wine though!

Good Morning All!!
I've been away for awhile so haven't had time to check in. It's a busy time for me. Leaving for a graduation in California on Thursday and will be back home the following Tuesday. Busy finishing up planting the garden and potting up some crowded plants. Work never ends, which is a good thing! Keeps me focused and away from that beast Al!!
Happy Tuesday to all of you!

Love and Peace

Good Morning to all.

Bessie I hope you have a better day today.

RN-Could you tape record your conversation with your son so I can play it for my ungrateful 19 year old son as well.

Hope all meet their goals for today>

Hi Everyone!

Hope you have a great day! I am on day 4 AF! Thank God! I am starting to feel good again!

FinallyRN...as a former 18 year old male of many years ago, my mother and I went through the same thing. I still wanted my mother to take care of the basics but I wanted total independance at the same time. I wanted to come and go as I pleased, be wild with my friends, and also have my laundry washed and food in the fridge. Unfortunately it is just the way it goes with mom's and son's in many cases.

What my mom did was to throw all of my leave behinds right on top of my bed! Dirty dishes, empty Coke cans, dirty laundry. Everything! Boy did that make me mad but I quickly got the point. I realized that our relationship changed and my room was a mess for a long time, but in the end I cleaned up my act. Ever slept in peanut butter? It is pretty sticky!

Bessie...thinking of you and another day of AF.

Take care all...Andrew

Hello everyone!

Well it sounds like most had a pretty interesting weekend to say the least! Back on track for all of us!!! I wasted the only nice warm day of the week, so now it looks like I start my garden while it's chilly--fun!

Laid down to listen to my clearing cd yesterday afternoon and woke up 2 hours later!! Oops!
Must have been sleepy!!

Good luck with all of your challenges today. I'm taking a friend out to lunch for her 50th birthday, will be fun catching up. Lunchtime and I'm driving so no chance for AL.

Good morning everyone

Yesterday I spent the whole day agitated and fuzzy brained from too much AL over the weekend. what was a fairly good start to MWO last week turned into the same old weekend behavior...not to mention a lot of work to do yesterday and today -- aagh! Spent some time trying to sort out the connections btwn AL and hypoglycemia (thanks, Flyinhigh); literally tryng to figure out the ups and downs of blood sugar, and I think that was part of the problem yesterday cause I didn't eat enough. At any rate, I did manage to stay AF last night and my goal is to do the same for the rest of the week. I took baby to the sitter for the morning so at least I can concentrate on work.

RN, I have a 17 year old stepson, and if I had a dollar for every time I asked him to put his stuff back into the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.....Of course, my hubby does the same darn thing....

It's a sunny day here -- that will help. Happy Tuesday to all.

Morning all...

Got up at 4:30 and crawled into the gym but the guy didn't show up. Haven't figured that one out yet. After that, back in bed, I had what I think was a full blown anxiety attack. Not fun. So I shall press forward and claw my way out of the rut and the hole with a smile on my face. This was uplifting wasn't it? Phew! On a lighter note, it is a beautiful day and I will make the most of it.

Best to all above and under this post.

Hi there everyone!
I dread to think what my 2 boys will be like in 10 years time! I don't think we'll go there! :H All the best FRN on your talk with your son.
I'm having a strange day, not feeling that well and I can't motivate myself either. Aiming for an AF night but I know this will be a struggle as hubby is away.(I do sound sorry for myself!- I think I'm just abit tired)
Greeneyes- what is 4.30am?!
Bessie- another day today and I hope its a better one for you.

Eviexx
