I truly do enjoy being home alone free to do anything my heart desires. Listen to "MY" music, watch my t.v. shows, mess around online, anything at all. Let my hair down so to speak. But as I was just looking around the kitchen to clean here and there, what do I find? A half gallon of Jack Daniels. I don't even know when and how he got there. But it's not my job to stay on top of his alcohol but it has irritated me. That was almost $50 that could have gone to a lot more important things but hey when the alcohol calls he must go to it. I am about to go do some reading and release this unnecessary stress I just created for myself. It's me time, so I am going to go an do something just for me. I must, after all, take care of me and hand him over to his HP. I am a work in progress, certainly not perfect. Thanks all, just needed to vent.
Feel that bliss!!! Feel that goodness, really relish it! Its your beautiful life force from HP. Your glory and your bliss! Its what to follow. Yeah, let that old yucky stuff go and make it all about YOU and what pleases YOU- right here and right now. Hugs, J.
HOME ALONE!!!! I like it too! Have a blast, kick back and light a candle. I'm looking forward to my alone time too soon. I used to have it every 7 and 7 days. I haven't had it since November. But I'm getting it back soon. WHOO HOO... Sincerely, Tonya
Please see my post on "So how do you relieve stress of dealing with your A?" What you said is what I'm looking to hear! So reading is (at least) 1 of your escapes...what else? We all need to share where we get solace.
wldthng86, I'm right there with you in finding old JD in the cupboard too! Sometimes back in the day I would have a peek in my AHs beer fridge and if it was full ,my mind would just race with all those same thoughts. (waste of money, when's this lot going down then....etc.. etc.)
What did I think I was going to find in there anyway? Chocolate bars or something!!!? LOL!! An alcoholic always has a stash somewhere and hidden cash to replace the "empties". And your home alone bliss..ahh..... and isn't it great knowing that HP can handle anything that we hand over? Silverby.
((((((FAMILY))))))) I so wish you all could enjoy the time I do get just about each day, when I have no kids at home. I have the whole day, during the school weeks to myself. I truly believe that is what keeps me going. About a week ago I painted my bathroom, I loved it so much. I felt like only "I" was capable of getting it done right. I would get so wrapped up in it during the day I would lose track of time and be disappointed when I would realize he was due home sooner rather than later. But I would just suck it up and remind myself of what I had accomplished. I do love to read, watch movies and just get so lost in the story lines. So here is to wishing you all have some time all to yourselves. ((((((((((((roomies))))))))))))
LOL!!
