Ladies on a Mission: The Official Site

[scottish lass]

Hi all - checking in early (well it is for us on West Coast USA) before my day runs away with me. Sad to wake up in the dark again, dang DST.
Getting windows and guttering cleaned today - first time for windows in three years...I can get inside done, but never get round to outside, so this is one of those splurges! Will be lovely to see out of clean windows.
Yeah for all the sober holidays being planned!
Working from home today - so may check in a little more....working from home used to be an excuse to have a little drink with my lunch and then..........you can all relate I am sure - happily enjoying an UnHung Monday....

Hi all,
Yes meeting the workout gals later today. This is a group of girls with a trainer that I worked out with when I was working. She charges much less than the fellow hubbs and I were using. I have a few sessions left with him and after I use them up I wont renew. I need to be with the girls and one of them is a young widow too so maybe she can help me keep moving forward.
Group grief thingy is tonight. Hope that is good if not I will keep looking. I need support from everywhere.
And from all you wonderful folks too!!

[scottish lass]

Dottie - you sound more positive today, that is just wonderful! You are taking great steps, and you seem to be so aware of what you need and want. Keep moving forward and I am so happy to hear a little bit of an upbeat tone. There is so much help out there, sometimes it takes some looking for, but hopefully you find something that fits you. Being with someone who is empathetic too will be a good move. Thinking of you dear lady...

Yes, Dottie, you do sound better today. I am so glad. Group therapy sounds interesting and hopefully you get to release some emotion there. I am sure it helps being with others going to a similar situation.

TT, I can imagine the trouble you might have run into drinking too much in Thailand. Scary enough drinking too much in your own country.

Sober Monday here, I have a job which is good. Hubby has been unemployed since August. He worked in January but then the job was over because of oil prices. I get stressed about it sometimes but then I just think- It will pass and he will get a job. This is only temporary.

Anyway, I am going for an abs workout today at noon so that is good. (I almost typed ass workout!!)haha
I need that too.

Have a great day.

[scottish lass]

Take my parts and work them out too will you dear Narilly? - my abs and ass both could do with whipping into shape!

Narilly while you're at it...
Dottie I hope things went well for you today.

Hi Gloamers,
Feeling a little overwhelmed/down and out/under the weather over here but just wanted to check in to say hi. xo J

[treetops]

Jane what's up? Anything in particular or just blah?

I'll post more soon just very busy and preoccupied with work. I think the crisis is sorted now but as we know there are always new ones. But I did buy some really fab new shoes. I am not much of a shoe lady but these cheered me up.
You sound quite good Dots and great that you have some support.

[Lizann]

Treetops, new shoes always cheer me up!
Jane, hope you feel better!

[little beagle]

Hugs Jane.

Hi,

Hope all is well, Jane. Sorry you're down.

Dot - hope all went well today. I'm glad you have that group to work out with.

Struggles with A2 again - so many missed homeworks, etc. I'm not sure how I can keep track of HIS homework AND all of the crap I have to do, but whatever. Just found out that he gets 100 points for a "portfolio" (binder) in math - it has to have all of his papers and stuff. 40 points are for "presentation." Is it neat, etc. WTF?! Everyone should have an ADHD 12 year old boy at home and THEN make homework up...

As I said in the nest, thank goodness I am not drinking through this - I know I would be dealing a lot less and feeling sorry for myself a lot more. I feel like I can help him much better now.

Anyway - hugs to my gloamers. Hope you're all well.

Thanks for the shout outs in response to my post folks! I took it easy today and feel a little bit better. Looking forward to an easy day tomorrow and a longer check in. Love, gratitude & strength to my Gloamer family xo

Indeed Narilly! Hello Gloamers.

A few years ago I woke up after a drunken evening wandering the streets of Bangkok on someone's front lawn. I woke to the warm and relaxed sound of a 'little old lady' yelling at me in Thai, words to the effect of....'git off my lawn now you drunken hooligan!' A sympathetic policeman motioned for me to move on in case the lady whacked me over the head with a hot wok.

All the best with the new training and support group Dottie.

Hope you're feeling better Jane.

All good here. Take care y'all. G

[treetops]

Eek Mr G.
I didn't get into that kind of trouble - mine was more private and involved complicated depressing personal stuff with someone else. That's 30 years ago!

[narilly]

I will remember those stories when I go to Thailand one day. Thank goodness I don't drink anymore. It is so nice not having to worry about drinking too much and obsessing about the stuff. I don't miss that at all.
Hi ya G!!

Pav, hang in there. I went through some tough times with my kiddo when he was in school. I am sure I will still go through some with him.

Dot, hope you are doing ok. Hang in there.

Very busy today at work. I will check in later.
