I am having one of those mixed up days today.....So I thought I'd come in and just let it out....Friday I went to see about a job...have to be back Monday morning and talk to the supervisor...I know her personally so it will be fine..just a little concerned about the hours....don't think I can be gone all evening from the kids.....hope I can either get day shift or night shift.....that would be great....anyway, feels good to have my mind on something else than the a all the time....
My son had his first high school football camp last week....he survived but is not that in love with football this year....he is a freshman on a Varsity team and that is never a good thing...lol...however, he is a starter on JV so that is good......Samantha my daughter, has her permit...and driving me up a tree....lol.....also home coming is right around the corner and she needs a dress....oh no....expensive.....so we have been looking.....
So my life is starting to fill up again with wonderful things and I am really enjoying that.....isn't it funny when we put them in the rear how things change for the better....I know hub is drinking, no doubt......and when all of this first started I slipped right back as well......I was pizzed, mad angry and then somthing happened....I calmed down took a minute to think and wow.....I wasn't back there with him, my life is still moving forward.....I am going to take it slow and easy and move forward with my future and wow, what a feeling......One Wonderful Day at a Time....
Hello Andrea - yesssssssssssss I knew u could do it girl. focus focus focus this is not your problem and your leaving it right where it belongs with him. I am so proud of you , you have come along way. You have a right to be angry and dissapointed but as u said it is not the end on YOUR world . Good luck on Monday. and hope u can get the hrs u want. Louise
((((Andrea))))) you poor thing, teenagers! LOL No, seriously, they can be so much fun (except for the driving part!)
Glad you are putting the focus on you! You sound amazing. I'm with Abby...Yeeeeesssss! Woo-hooo!!! Go Andrea!
Isn't it amazing how this program works? It creeps up so slowly, you don't recognize it (at least I didn't) until one day, I felt pretty good. Hmmm, what was wrong with me???? ME FEELING GOOD????? Then, the next day, same thing. Hubby is still drinking. He hasn't changed. I have.
I still love him, but I love me, too, now. And I love you and all the rest of my Al-anon buddies. Through you all and thru HP I have gained so much strength and hope. I can see the beauty all around me where before I could not see anything but pain and sorrow. I have much to be grateful for. And I am trying very hard to live each day as if it were my last, cos you never know.
Like Keith Urban says "You better start livin' right now, days go by"
So glad to read your post today, made me stop and remember to continue to be grateful for all I have, all the love I have, for my beautiful daughter, my family, friends, my kitties, my baby granddaughter. Life is beautiful if you only look for it, it is there all the time.
Good to get an update! Glad you are moving forward......it's what u need to do for sure. Keep trusting God and all the details of the new job and everything will happen as they should. Sounds like your kids are staying busy which is a good thing. My son also started High School football last week.....he is a Freshman as well. He too is playing with the Varsity/JV squads, and he is loving it! They have their first double practice today......just finished the morning practice and will go back this evening. So your daughter is driving(what grade?).....sometimes scary, but nice to have another driver. We just got our daughter a car to use, which will be nice since she and her brother can ride together to school and she can bring him home after their practices.....she runs Cross Country.
I continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. My son (the 20 year old) is doing well. We are counting our blessings....God has been good.
Take care friend, and remember.........GO SEAHAWKS!!!!
Glad to hear that you are doing better dear friend. Somehow staying busy and focusing on the tasks at hand can be a godsend. You sound so strong. I am very proud of you and your family. They have a great example on how to live their lives. You are an exceptional human being. How lucky they are to have. How lucky am I to call you friend.
Much love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
