WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY

WE are down at Micheles house and they are really doing good ...im so happy for them...we went  garage saling this morning  had lots of fun...found Joe some brand new jeans for 1.50 apiece lol couldnt pass that up at all.

Anyway we are going to go get pedicures here after while . She doesnt know it yeit but we are.

took her some flowers that we are going to get in the ground here in a little while...their house is really a nice 3 bed 2 bath house....with 2 car garage ....very nice. ...needs a little bit of updating but not a lot.

will talk to you all later today.....tell me what your week end is ..ok....love and hugs...

Happy to hear she is doing well Jan.  Getting pedicures will be fun.  I do that once in awhile. 

My son seems to be doing well.  He spent the day with Max yesterday and Max said he thoroughly enjoyed their time together.  Greg told him he has not had a drink since Oct. 15th.  That's the night I called the police.  He said the detox was just awful and he never wants to go thru that again.  He has been walking 30 minutes a day and has lost 2 pants sizes.  He says he feels so good now.  Next Wednesday he meets with his attorney and he's going to ask about the breathalyzer that's installed in the car. 

No big plans for my weekend.  Max is going to the hockey tonight and tomorrow night so I will have some "me" time.  I need to make a Walmart run this evening.  We will go to IHOP for breakfasttomorrow, and I'm supposed to meet with my literacy student tomorrow afternoon. 

Hi Jo so glad to hear that your son is going down the right path again, from what i read about this problem it is really most of the time a series of starts and stops even when they really really are trying and they do slip up once in awhile. but we just have to believe that they will one day get it perfected ...Is your son still living there with you or is he back with his girlfriend
keep praying for him and i will continue to add him to my prayer list.

Hi OH,

I'm sitting at my daughter's in KC. Jan, so glad to here that Michelle is doing so good. Enjoy your pedicure never had one, but think next time I want a set of nails will try that instead.

Jo~sounds like your son is doing good, sometimes it takes a few starts, ( like Jan said) before it finally works. I am addicted to cigarettes and I have been trying to quit. If I keep trying I'm going to be sucessful, I think it works with other addictions the same way, you really want to kick it and keep trying it is finally defeated.

Well need to close now, hope everyone has a great week-end.

HUGS

Jeanie, you are doing so well.  The surgery has surely changed your life.  I refer to my life as the old one and the new one.  I came across a picture of Max and I taken a few years ago and it went to the trash.  OMG.....I looked old enough to be his mother and he is 8 years older than me.  Never wanted to see that picture again.

The cigs are a bad habit but you won't get arrested for smoking.  Greg used to always have a comeback compaing drinking to this and that.  His GF has a shopping problem and drinks nothing but sugary Mountain Dew and Sprite and yes those are bad habits, but you won't get in trouble with the law doing those.

He has been thru detox several times, but the last time he did it at home with no medical help.  He said it was the worst detox and he never wants to do that again.  I'm wondering if in the hospital they kept him sedated so much he didn't realize how bad it was. 

I would really like to meet you and Jan.  If you're ever in the Kansas City area maybe we can meet.

Jo~I think you're right about the hospitals sedating your son, sometimes that's what they do best. I hope he has success this time, and maybe he and his GF can work on their addictions together, shopping and drinking sugary drinks may be legal, but the addiction is still hard to fight.

I come to KC, in fact I was there this week end. My DD lives in Lawson Missouri. After I get back on the road maybe we can hook up. Would love to meet you and the others that live in the KC area.
