Today is my one year out

When my laptop gets back I will update how my year has been. My back kills me in this chair. You all know I have had a pretty shocking year. Now all is back to normal. I am myself. I stopped going out. I am myself. Me and my husband have just settled for each other. And thats how our life is going to be. My drinking has completley stopped. and smoking has also. I still take my nerve pills. Only when I feel I need one. Fall is on its way. There soon to be christmas thanksgiving and all our favorite holidays will be here. ( I will have a grandaughter )))) My goal is to wear a sexy red dress for christmas and a black sexy dress for new years. I think we all need to walk walk walk. The smell of fall and the leaves changing is so beautiful. Lets all start putting on the miles. Get our bodys in shape for the holidays. Hugs Barb

They pretty much seem me go threw alot. I have One 8 another 4 another 3 wow they are all boy !!!!!! My grandaughter is due First week of Dec I am so excited. Her name is Avery Ann I wanted alittle grandaughter so bad. My dream has come true. Hugs Barb

How great just in time for the holiday's. We had 7 nephew's when my niece and the last of that generation was born.... She is a love and I have enjoyed spoiling her rotten. I am lucky that my boys are the oldest so I get to enjoy spoiling all the nephew's now, and my niece and I are very close. She has a very strong personality like myself. Not having any girls myself I get the chance to grab her and take her shopping and stuff. It is a ball. donna

I am so glad everything is going better for you and everything is back on track..and atleast you got all that stuff out of your system.... Now you can focus on what matters. just make sure ur happy

Barb, What a year it has been for your!! And I salute your courage and your willingness to share it with us. I so admire you for all you have done and must let you know what an inspiration you have become...no hiding... honesty and integrity.. Your entire family should be so proud of you. I know life has interferred with a smooth year after surgery but you have taken it all and still come out the other end. Keep taking care of you and loving YOU. Know you have a FAN here and I will support and help you any way I can. Hugs, Jacqueline

Barb, You've had one heck of a year! A lot of ups, and some downs, too. I'm so glad that you lost the weight you needed to, for yourself...and I'm glad that the little demons that popped up are now being controlled. You seem to be on the right track and keep going, you're doing a great job. Remember, nobody's perfect. We all have our little bumps in the road and have to deal with them. Congrats! paula
