** 'Where is everyone?' Wednesday roll call **
Alright peeps - I know that I LOVE to hear myself talk - even if it is in my own head - but where are you early people?!?! I am shocked that at 6:45 I am starting Roll Call.
In any event - I survived my first long and crazy Tuesday and didn't kill ANY of my children! Always a good day!
Today is Larry's 45th birthday - I went ahead and purchased the Nook for him and will give it to him tonight. That is really the only plans we have. I will be at school today and then he wants Sushi for dinner. Which is great - considering only he and Molly like sushi - Not sure what the rest of us will do for dinner.
That is my happily calm and exciting day - what are you all up to?!?!

Good Morning Steffi! Glad that you didn't harm your children yesterday :) The year is still young though! lol At least Larry wants something you don't have to cook 
I am running a bit late this morning. Amelia was up at least 6 times last night, not to eat, just her pacifier but still it = 1 tired Momma today. I am at wor****il 4, I think I'll run out at lunch and get the few things I need at Lowes. AFter work home to Amelia to relieve my Grandmother. That's all I have going on today.

Steffi, tell Larry Happy Birthday!
Work yesterday was hard. I was not very mobile and in a good bit of pain. I hope today goes better. Last night at scouts Caleb was elected Patrol Leader. His troop has 4 patrols. He was very excited since he is the youngest member of his patrol. He thought he would be a chaplain or some other newbie position. He did earn the rank of 1st class in an amazing 5 months...it usually takes 1-2 years...that must have helped. I am very proud of him. Today we take him to have his eyes examined again. 3 weeks ago he was having issues and the Dr said it should go away in a month...well it is getting worse so we go see him again today. I hope he knows what the problem is today. We are all getting stressed out about it.

PS: I am already looking forward to coming home and taking pain medication (I can't take it when I am driving)

Morning Steffi. I was awake, but prepping dinner for tonight as I am actually going to be OUT of my house today.
Today is the United Way Day of Caring and I will be volunteering at a local thrift store organizing, pricing and hanging clothes. I'm sure there will be some shopping going on while I am there, as well.
I am not scheduled to get home til around 4, so Siehara will hopefully hang with her new friend at either our apartment or hers.. not really sure yet... oops. Talk about advanced planning. But, she'll be ok. I have faith. Even if she has to stay at home alone, she'll be ok. It's only about 90 minutes and she's been doing pretty well with staying home for short periods of time.
When I get home, I will cook dinner--pork chops, popcorn cauliflower and roasted red potatoes. Siehara and I will eat dinner and then head off to First Strides. Siehara may be coming with me or she may be hanging with the friend who she's been with the other weeks. Again, advanced planning... I did at least contact THIS mom to see if she could hang there.
After First Strides home to shower and Bron is supposed to be coming down so we can just hang out. We haven't seen each other in a while. I'm assuming he is sleeping over, but I'm not sure yet. LOL. I asked him yesterday if he wanted anything when I went to the grocery store and he requested cheese sticks and pork chops.. ok.. I have cheese sticks and thought it would be nice to make the pork chops for him. So, he'll be having dinner warmed up when he gets here.
Busy day, but it should be a rewarding and fun one.
Hope everyone has a good day today!!

Greetings PA and Steffi,
I was up late, but too tired to type anything intelligent.
Today I have 8 months of sobriety. That is huge for me these days. I am very grateful for it as well. I do not take it for granted.
Wednesday is kind of iffy for me. I must make my meeting, and I also want to get to the gym to swim. At 11:30 I am heading to church to make up viewing a DVD that I will miss because I won’t be at Bible study on Thursday night. Not sure what order things will occur in, but the 11:30 time is fixed.
This afternoon, I am supposed to meet with someone about a possible lead on a part time gig. Not sure about it yet, but I am interested in learning about it.
I hope everyone stays safe and makes wise food choices.
Hugs,
Trish
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Well done Trish!!!! I am very proud of you. I know you have written about some of the stressors and triggers you have been confronted with over the past months. I think you should be very proud of yourself for managing them and relying on your support systems to help you through them without turning to substances for "relief". Keep taking it one day at a time and keep fighting the good fight. We are all behind you!
