Hey Techie!! I do like the pic RC. You took that one? skate photos are hard to catch because of the movement.

Hardly a player Over lol. So far I average 1 date and either we don't click or something else gets in the way. LOL. So far I haven't had any horriable dates...I'm finding out that I don't think there is such a thing as a "normal" person out there hahaha. Everyone has some problem so it's nice in a twisted way to know your not alone.

I'm still baffleed by how I keep meeting girls that skated....they don't mention it in their profile. Strange but everything does happen for a reason...I'm really starting to see that.

My "baby" is turning 13 next week :wow:

How is it that she's getting older and I'm not? LOL

Sk8, Rebirth and Overit....enjoy your little ones now...it does not last long enough!!

K9 I can imagine how fast the time will go. I cant believe my little baby is already six!! How can six years go by so fast?!! It's not fair. Oh well. At least I dont have the guilt trips of thinking that I am not spending enough time with him. Parenthood is miles better when you are sober eh!

When I think it wasnt so bad I have to remind myself how I put my drink first before my son. Hangover on the couch most weekends...hurrying bedtime so I can drink in peace, hurrying the park so I can drink in peace, not allowing him to go birthday parties late sunday evening because it interferred with my chillout time ( i.e when I want to drink to my heart's content and not have to drive)

Hey Ladies!

With my second time around at attempting some long term sobriety, I am excited to put into action more plans with my son and spending more time as possible with him. As everybody says, the time flies by, and I would hate to be missing out on him! If that is not a reason for someone to want to get sober, then I am not sure what is!!

I went to my very first parent/teacher meeting last night. I felt so normal and like such a parent! I really dont want to miss out on any of this.

Im really proud of you two ladies!!!! Your doing so great!!!!

Hey Over. Being a good parent is such a great incentive to stay sober. I bet you were really proud of yourself to feel like a normal parent at the meeting. in the past I use to worry that the teacher could smell drink on me. groan...I probably did. I look forward to my first parent/ teacher meeting sober. x

Hey Girl!

Do you know what I was thinking as I was sitting there? I was thinking that if I was drinking then there would have been NO WAY I could have ever done it! I would have been a paranoid mess!!!

There are SO many things we miss out on we are drinking. We miss out on LIFE!!! Im so glad you are doing so good, and Im also very grateful that I am making this committment again. No matter how many tries, especially as a Mom, I/we can never give up the fight to be sober!

Love ya, Be Well!!!!

Hey Over K9 and Rebirth,

I'm really glad to hear you all doing so good. I completly agree that parenting is so much better sober. So funny how I can look back now and see how bad I was. How I used to think I was being sneaky by hiding a beer in my jacket when outside with Aaron. Pathetic really. Those days are gone though and times with him are so much better.

Well news on the dating front...its down to the newest skater girl. No she doesn't still skate but did the sametime I did in the 80s. Trust me they are rare and its good enough that she used to since they know why I still do it. Me and her IM'd for a few hours last night and thankfully we share the same sense of humor. I'm supposed to call her at 11 tonight and we already have plans to meet next Tuesday. Not a date per say just to meet. I like how she is being cautious about this whole thing because I am too. Online dating does make dating a lot harder than I remember it being. Lol. But really how else would I have met her. Ever since getting sober I truly believe things happen in life for a reason. Maybe being sober and in a better place I can see that. For example this whole online dating so far each girl has been there for a reason. The first date happened when my son left on vacation..she was also very easy to talk to and got me back out there. The second girl actually knew my sons mom and her ex husband. She let me know the way she is treating me has nothing to do with me...that's just how she is. And finally the newest girl I've met. I had no idea she ever skated...I just thought she was beautiful and I liked what she said in her profile. I really expected her to ignore my email but it didn't work out that way...so I really got my fingers crossed with this one. Just gonna be myself.
