FRIDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER

BB dear, I hope the results are wonderful. Glad to hear it has been a less stressful week.

Going out to dinner with girlfriends this evening, should be a lot of fun and will have one drink. First time in over three weeks. Wasn't particularly trying for it but there it is. Never would have thought that could happen a couple years ago.

All to come, I hope you have a great Friday!

Love and Hugs,
Mary

FRIDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER

Good Morning Muffins,

Keep us up todate -- OK BB.
Wow - way to go MKR & you didn't even trythat hard. Amazing. It jsut takes time I guess.

I too want to start racking up the days. I will be taking baby steps though. Yesterday was good day 2. I may have some wine tonight. Have very long work day. Then plan next Mon to do AF again for the workdays.

Have massage on neck & back later today & tommorrow chiro. I hope it helps. I am so sick of the pain I could cry sometimes.

Anyway for all to come --have a great day. It is hazy here in the NorthEast.

Luv&Hugs~C~

Chrysa dear, I am sorry you are in pain. That is what took me initially over to the dark side of alcohol. Feel better. (Not to sound like I was not trying - most days I didn't really think of it but a couple I really had to work on it and went AF just b/c if it was in the house I was NOT going to moderate well, just knew that already.

Feel way better dear! xo, Mary

FRIDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER

Morning y'all. I have only been af one night this week. While I haven't been terrible, it is more than I want it to be. Chrysa, I like your plan of af during the week. I think I may try that this next week. Dh travels lots for business, and has been gone all week-that is a trigger for me. Of course, he will be gone all week lots of weeks, so I need to just kick that excuse out to the curb! I used to think it was lonliness-and part of it is, I'm sure, but now I think I'm *jealous*. I know he works hard and his days are long-but mine are too. He calls at night, and has finished work, gone to the (very nice) hotels where he stays, gone to the fitness club at the hotel, taken a walk, gone for a swim, sat in the hot tub, etc... is having a very nice dinner at a pricy resturant, is sightseeing...then he goes to bed- in a comfy hotel suite/room. Me- I've been at work as well, but I have had to drop kids off at school, juggle schedules so I can pick them up on time, do errands, get groceries, help with homework, make dinner, clean the house, clean up after dinner, get the youngest bathed and in bed- then that wine is waiting for me to take that bitter edge off. I just need to do it without the wine, I know. Sorry for grumbling....I'll be better in a minute
BB I am so glad this has been a quiet week for you. Please let us know what your letter says. Your costume event for the school sounds brillant!!
Mary, glad the doctors report was great news. Keep us posted as well, please.
Chyrsa, I hope the chiro/massage helps. I know it does for me. Mary mentioned pain as causing her to go to the dark side with alcohol-me too. I mentioned it a few days ago on this thread.
Sammys, your af stretch sounds great! You have inspired me! Hope things are drying up and the mosquitoes are lessening.
Everyone else- check in and let us know how you are!
Have a great day everyone:h

FRIDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER

Hi all hope everyone is doing well! Sorry to be so hit and miss lately. In between fighting my son for the computer (the one who has autism) and when I do get on trying to get a website developed I am busy. I am starting a website for the fundraising part of his Autism Service Dog. Ok quite literally I just got here, he saw me and is now pushing me off to the side.

HUGS TO ALL I may be purchasing a computer for MYSELF!!

Back on now: I just want to say that I am so thankful today that people on the highway we lived actually obeyed the lights on the school bus. This is the second day of school and second time riding a bus for my twins. Well the driver opened the door, the monitor was not fast enough and he ran out in front of the bus across the highway and tried to get down to our lakefront. Traffic was backed until she could catch him. That was really scary. Another reason we are pursuing the service dog because he has NO comprehension of danger at all.

FRIDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER

How scary for you Beaches. My nephew ( who is also autistic) used to bolt out the front door as well and just start running. They have 4 boys so, it was hard to keep the door locked at all times. ANyway, one day three family members had to chase him all the way to the end of the block and literally tackle him before he ran straight into traffic. Everyone was shook up for a while after that one.

SO now you need two fundrasiers....one for the dog and one for a new wireless laptop

Can't wait to see the site when it is up and running!:h
