    Wow, so much to say yet so little time or brain power. Did lots of thinking whilst mowing today--thought so much I got sick of thinking about it. Greeneyes, he would have gotten a haircut if he had come inside in time. My son got one, and the other two need one also. It will be difficult to do the task when the time comes without the temptation of carving the big FH in back. :H We are at least speaking now, so life goes on as usual. I'm not one to hold grudges, but they tend to kind of build up after awhile.
    And Det, yes, my well worn copy of Co-Dependent No More is on loan to my friend with the alcoholic brother at the moment. i'm going to have to dig out my copy of "Beyond Co-Dependency" while I wait for the book I ordered this morning "The Language of Letting go" also by Melody Beatty. :H Of course we are all co-dependents! Pretty much all alcoholics (or any addicts) and the people that love them are. It really is a great book, I highly recommend it to everyone!

    Marshy--I hear warning bells too. And i would say all of the above. I had a dream the other night I was partying up a storm. It was disturbing. I'm wondering if once we have an empty nest if i will have to go back to that lifestyle in order to have a relationship with my hubby again. Nah.

    Football game tonight. My son is not playing. Did I tell you he got a concussion and whiplash Monday night during his game. This is #2 son. It was #1 son last time. It was scary watching him stagger around on the sideline--none of the coaches even noticed, and I guess once my younger son checked on him and asked if he was ok to drive I thought he was ok. But he was def not ok, and I should have never let him drive home. I really need to learn to trust my instincts. Hubby thinks this son is kind of a wimp and never believes that he is hurt--thinks he's faking. Grrr.

    Later. Thank you for making me feel better today!:h

      Gaia, it is very sad to hear about your life with your Mom & Dad. :l I guess all that any of us can do is try to learn as much as we can from the experience and try to be better to our loved ones. :l

      LVT, it sounds like you are so committed (again, he is lucky!). You can't control him so all you can do I guess is to be the best Mom you can be for your kids and the best Beyond Co-Dependent wife to him. Be true to yourself. :l

      Who am I missing?

      M3, I feel your pain on the cabinets. I took some pictures of the destruction up stairs. Oy. If only I could find my little computer cord thingy I could share them. :H

      Grateful to be sober... One thing is for sure....

        Just want everyone to know that I am 100% snake free tonight :H
        I checked & checked again out there - those poor kids are just starting to spout some feathers & should definitely not be eaten now

        There's still time if everyone wants to come over..........
        The garlic sweet potato jam would make a great dip for my chips DG :H

        I think my HR has returned to normal.........
        I don't want to go thru anything snake-like anytime soon!

        Peace!

          I was never into wild parties. I only went for the drink and drugs, not to meet people or socialise :H
          A friend said to me yesterday that although me and non-GF seem compatible in many ways, "you just have to be different on this".

            Well, yeah, I hear ya on that one! :H

            And then it's just a question of whether you want a partner who is "different on this one" or not. This crap was so much easier drunk, wasn't it? Pick one and go home. And hopefully not make any stupid drunken committments. Or pick up any unwanted....whatevers. Well, I guess that wasn't so easy either. Just different.

                Morning everyone!! Back at my PT job after 3 weeks off. Grrrrr. The only upside is that I can read all I want or crochet. It actually has been busy today with the phones ringing off the hook. Why isn't everyone at the beach for god's sake???

                Marshy-I have to chime in and say this doesn't sounds like a very good situation. She's on the rebound and is into drinking and drugs. I agree with Greenie-Danger Danger!!

                Lav-yea on being snake free!! and double yea the chicks are safe and sound for now!! My BIL and sister are absolutely terrified of snakes. One Racer got into their old house years ago and my BIL threw weight plates at it until he killed it. I was sad. I would have come over and gotten it out of the house safely. Sad to say I took great delight when the kids were young and I took them to nature places and bought them toy snakes from the gift shop. Mean sis and SIL!! :H

                Gaia-I'm so sorry you had such a horrible childhood. I was very sad for you when I read that. You preservered despite everything and I really enjoy your postings and am glad you are a daily poster on this thread.

                LVT-sorry to hear about your hubby and his drinking problems and how it is affecting you. I hope you find a way to deal that will give you peace. Also sorry to hear of the mild head injury son #2 sustained last week. As a former Athletic Trainer I know all too well what can happen when head injuries are not taken seriously. I'm so glad he didn't play this weekend. I hope he knows he wasn't being a sissy. Bad Hubby for saying that. Honestly, Men!!!

                I'll be lurking most of the day. have a great one!!
