I have been hating Fridays! This is the day that my A designates as go to the bar night.
I started thinking yesterday, I have not been good to myself. Since preparing for the boys to go back to school, teaching the 18 yr old to drive, etc. etc. in the past 2 weeks I have neglected myself. I haven't been doing my daily readings, haven't colored my hair (although I bought my color over two weeks ago), haven't seen my friends or my mom. etc.
So back on track I go.....I love that you all are here, it helps so much to know that there are so many of us affected by alcohol and/or drugs.
I too, hate Fridays, Mar. For different reasons. It is the day that reminds me that I am alone now that my A is gone. ((((HUGS)))) to you. Go color your hair tonight and celebrate you. Funny enough, I just bought my color and will be doing mine tonight.
I've got an idea--do hair color, finger and toe nails. let there b spa night!--or buy yourself some flowers thnks for reminding me to be nice to me. i've had a challenging week too--and to top it off, my 12y/o fell down the steps last nite and broke his foot!
but so much for TGIF! I used to work every other weekend for years, so specific days of the week have never made me happier/unhappier than others. Weekends are really overrated--and truth be told--we need to learn to make the best of each day of the week, not just kill ourselves to get to those glorious 2 days off.
Happy Friday

Anymore Fridays to me are just the same as any other day. When you don't have much extra money to spend Friday or any other day becomes just another day.
Thanks so much for the reminder. Same with me.. since getting my son off to school and me back to work, I've neglected myself. We should make a hair appt. together. My roots are showing and my finger-nails need a manicure.
Go for it this week and I will too!
Luv, Heather
P.S. I hate Friday's too...also Thursdays! Those are typical "bar nights" for my A too.
