Today Effin SUCKS......that is all.

I am so pissed. This girl who I used to be friends with (I say that because I have since discovered what a complete bitch she is) sent me a message on FB to tell me that I have to stop playing the victim and making everything all about me and that I will fail in my sobriety if I don't do that. I'm like, excuse me? First off, I haven't seen you in months, secondly you don't know shit about what I've been through and thirdly - WHO THE F do you think you are? I forwarded it on to 2 mutual friends who then let me know that she's been bitching like that for months, that she is not happy unless she is bitching about something and that tomorrow at a party they are all going to they intend to tell her right off. Glad I'm not going to be at the party but wow, I sure wish I was a fly on the wall! Anyway, as much as I'm sad and hurt my hubby and my friends keep telling me this is her issue, not mine and that it has nothing to do with me and that she is just a bitch. So at least I know who my supports are now!

Anyway - what a friggin day this has been. I'm going to go jump in a hot shower and chill out with a book and a coffee.

Hello FABs and FABettes!

You guys put me all to shame what with yer changing closets and whatnot. Or laundry :H
Good lord, my house is a disaster. But with working until 10 at night at the barn I just don't have the gumption to be domestic.

DG.. I have been dodging your question re. my daughter's "engagement". Mostly, because I thought I really ought to call her, but was peeved about her not coming to me directly, and then thanking the sandwich artist's parents for being so supportive (on FB), and... well.. yeah.
So, I had every intention to take some time this afternoon and have a heart to heart with the girlie. Figured I've had enough time to digest all this news to not end up saying something I might regret. Well, when I came in, there was a message from her to call her, she needs to talk. Phew. Alright , so I armed myself with a cup of tea and here's the gist of our conversation:

1. She doesn't know what she's doing
2. She's NOT engaged... the sandwich artist changed his FB status and talked her into changing hers
3. She's certain that she doesn't want to be with the sandwich artist long term
4. She really doesn't want this baby, is not ready, feels like she's trapping herself

I'm utterly delighted that there's a glimmer of hope that my girl hasn't lost her mind completely. She even acknowledged that there is a rather large gap of intelligence/ambition between the two of them - PHEW! She DID notice!

I don't want to get into any pro-life controversy here, but I think she will look into a family planning/counseling facility to see what her options are. All in all, I'm a bit relieved. No, a lot relieved, actually.

Hello to all of you; I hope I'll have time to poke my head in later and catch up. If not, have a wonderful evening and weekend!

ONE THING IS FOR SURE.... there will be no drinking!

Cross post w sunny. I so feel for you in your predicament. Your daughter is so lucky to have a wise, caring mom like you. The fact that she realizes her situation is grave.... She is really in awkward spot.

We are currently just trying to get restraining orders recognized on both sides of the Canada US border to protect my two year old and one year old grand children and their single parent mom.

Send well deserved hugs your way.

Uni - it is her problem. :l Your hubby and friends are sure right about that.

Hi M3!! I bet you are buffer than buff by now! Are you still enjoying yoga teacher training?

Kas - Dahlia bulbs seem confusing! It is Hairy Leg Season here in Illinois.

Sunny - I am very glad that your DD is at least looking at the seriousness of her situation rather than just fantasizing, etc. I bet you are so relieved!

Figure skating!!!!

Oh Kaslo :l
That is scary and awful for all involved. Hope you get what you need to keep your daughter and little ones safe.

Hello again, DG! Thanks, I really do feel a whole lot better now
Btw... are you going to work figure skating into your debate!? :H

Wow! Busy AF daily threads!! That is awesome to see so many people posting!!

Sunny - so happy you had a talk with your daughter. I hope she figures things out and how awesome of you to be calm, and there for her!

Uni - BIG hugs to you. It is indeed your friend's issue, and not yours. You just keep your chin up and keep plugging along. She sounds like a real bitch, and you don't need her garbage in your life! Sending you an extra hug for your family situation with FIL.

Hello to all others!!!

My chemo did not start on Wednesday; I honestly had no clue what was going to happen. A little relieved as I would like to get through Halloween first anyway. Take Little AFM out and about and also I am Chair of the Parent Advisory Council at her school and we are doing 'cupcakes' to raise money for extra curricular activities for Halloween day as well.

I met with the local oncologist and he did a check up and sent me for blood work. I have 'training' on Monday where they show you what it is all about and how they do it etc. Then on Tuesday, November 1 I have my first cycle of chemo at 1pm. I think the hardest part of all of this is the waiting and all of the appointments. The chemo should be a breeze compared to the rest. :H

I am really loving my new home. I also just had my new washer and dryer delivered today. Whirlpool Front Loaders! Weeeeeeee!!! Had to do the laundry mat, and ummm... that was something I really didn't want to do long term!

Other than that, it has been pouring cats and dogs here today. The poor construction people putting in the new windows (mine are already done) were all totally drenched. Yummy, drenched men! Yousa!

K, have a great day everyone! xo

Speaking of men...

You may have heard stories about how men vastly outnumber women in Alaska?

Us ladies have a little saying about that which goes like this:

Alaska Men...

the odds are good....



but the goods are odd.


please send Yummy men.

Hi Abbers,

I'm here and good. Just exhausted, scratchy throat and my shoulder is killing me from overdoing it today (I used the hairdryer for the first time since last Friday :H).

Have to prepare for 12-15 inches of snow tomorrow nite. You read that right!! Not even fecking November yet AND it's only been 7 months since our last snow!!!
Tomorrow will be running around like crazy doing errand and as much yard clean up as possible. Oh, and I guess I should find my shovel!! Sunday will be tough driving and shoveling with one arm but to the Nursing Home I must go. I do like this job but the hours are killing me!! The pay check however makes it sting a tad less.

Car got fixed today for less than $300 and it purrs like a kitten!! Talked to Dad about cashing out my TSAs and to my utter surprise he is all for it (as long as I stay employed in the state system. Which, after this past year of job hunting doesn't seem so far fetched!!). So, as soon as I get the appraisal done for the damage and fixed, I will be SUV shopping!!

I've read all the post these past few days and happy to see everyone busy and AF. Do we have a returner??? Where is IJM???

Greenie-so happy the hair cut business is booming for you!! Wow, the Universe really came through!

Uni-hugs and I echo that it is HER problem not yours although I totally get how hurt you are. Serenity prayer will work here.

AFM-big hugs to you! We will be with you in spirit on the 1st. Hope you enjoy Halloween and all that goes into it.

DG-how was skating today? Did you get ANY school work done?? how was the Chamber event?

Kas-that pic was absolutely dreamy!! Hope you had a great time in Nelson-LOVE LOVE LOVE that town!!

m3-good to see you and happy the training is going well!

Deter- Glad you're home safe and sound!!

Turn-how is the knee? Hope you didn't overdue today!

CAB-how was the visit with mom?

Sunni-you have got to be exhausted by now with all the barn work and what's going on with DD. Hope you can get some rest this weekend but I'm thinking the answer is No.

Lav-the chicken pic was hysterical!! Gosh they do provide entertainment don't they!! I'll take one of those sweatshirts please!! Although I think I actually might have some holiday spirit this year!!

LVT-do you ever slowdown????

OK, time to ice the shoulder and hit the hay. Big shoutout to anyone I missed.

P3 - SNOW???????? Wow. And that is a LOT of snow too!!! :egad: Glad your car is fixed. Hope that weather forcaster is wrong! The Chamber event was fun. Didn't stay too long but saw a lot of people I know and haven't seen for awhile since I started school. When I got there, I found Mr. Doggy near the Hooters booth. :H Boy did I give him some shit about that. Then he said "what's with their Big Hair and porn star makeup?" At that point I had to fess up and admit I hadn't even looked at THAT part! :H

3 more dance teams to go, and then I'm off to bed. Class from 8 - 12 tomorrow.

AFM yer amazing! How do you keep so level and humorous under the huge weight of what's going on in your life? You truly are an inspiration!

Sunni, yeah well my x-son in law just spiraled out of control...with two little kids under two, and not used to working, he snapped, he was up on a weapons charge then he was fired and he just lost it and tried to kill my daughter and himself. He disappeared stole her car, we found it, I got her back over the border and since then it's been hard for her. He won't accept service of papers and keeps sending emails saying hes coming to get the kids. So it sounds really bad, but I think its mostly talk. However it sure puts what is important in perspective. Even after all that's happened I also know my daughter is difficult and it does take two to tango. Although I don't tell her that. honestly I have one who is a dedicated student and the other is a disaster but I love them both.

Too funny Turnaround.

Well we ended up just staying in having a nice home cooked meal, there is a fire in the fp, watching baseball, mr Kaslo brought me roses. 26 years. (I thot it was 27, apparently I can't subtract). I am truly blessed.
