I have a hot date tonight .. yes .. yes I do .. my very cute son is taking me to the movies tonight. We are going to see the Lego Movie. Actually it's an afternoon date .. lol .. still I'm looking forward to it.
More good news and lots of prayers .. apparently when I was told that the stbax was in his atty's office it wasn't a lie. I don't know who twists the truth more alcoholics or atty's .. LOL. Anyway, there is an offer and I literally have not called nor do I have any intension of calling soon .. I'm riding things out. The meeting at the atty's office is not going to be pretty and I am just going to be firm in what I stand in .. I could stand in a pile of poo. LOL .. I know what a visual. Anyway, .. prayers that the new atty and I can see eye to eye on many things and what we see differently on we will come to an agreement on.
I had so much fun yesterday at work .. OMGOSH .. there were some S stories I had forgotten about until I started talking with a guy who is retiring and of course .. we were laughing and he turns and says I swear only YOU could get away with that comment .. LOL! He starts calling other people into the office tell the story ... tell the story .. LOL. Spent the afternoon just having a good time and very busy. There is a high possibility that I could wind up with a full time position .. wait and see .. obviously HP times. LOL .. I'm not feeling patient! Like I have a choice .. lol.
I went to an alanon meeting last night and an AA meeting this AM .. #1 daughter is off at her school stuff for the day.
So #1 son and I are enjoying internet time .. LOL!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, S :)

Good Luck with that meeting... I use to hate to do things like that, my Ex would stare at me and even if he couldnt say anything he would try to harass and intimidate me with his eyes. So I tried not to look at him and I always took a friend for moral support. Be strong and stick to your boundary's ...... og

Your HOT date sounds AMAZING!! The absolute best kind!
Having fun at work, laughing, telling stories & to think your HP may make it FULL TIME!! yeah!!
Prayers for you with the Stbx & Atty, I like Older gals thoughts on taking a friend for support, remembering WE NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANYTHING ALONE AGAIN, UNLESS WE CHOOSE TO:)
(((SRU))) Good program work and bonus hot date too!!! As you know, I've been going through a similar drill regarding attorneys and I hope your attorney works hard for a quicker and favorable resolution for you. Sometimes it takes switching to a fresh train of thought or mindset.
In my case, the judge is persuaded that my exAH has all the unravellings of a practicing addict of many years- and this is true- however, the judge only understands this piece of it, creating an unintentional bias. I forwarded a brief memorandum to my current attorney, whom I like very much, about addiction being a family disease, the distortions in thought process, the mindset of an addict who can rationalize anything as a stepping stone towards the next fix, and how addiction is a disease of compulsion- but it also is a choice (this is what I have come to believe) that he makes every minute whether he will drink and drug or not, work his AA program or not.
I was advised not to look at my exAH in court or at any time. Following this advice has been and is a blessing to me on many levels.
Fingers crossed that you get the full time position! Keep us posted!
LOL .. Well I wound up with two hot dates for that afternoon .. my son and his friend. :) I enjoyed the movie and it was cute .. apparently I felt the need to spend 7.50$ to take a nap in a theater it's official .. I'm getting old! It wasn't what I expected and had some cute plot twists it was fun though. I got poked a couple of times, the had the good sense not to mention if I started snoring or not .. LOL .. I don't think I was that far down sleeping .. however I was zoning big time. Taking my daughter at 6am to a scholastic tournament on a Saturday no less took a lot out of me .. LOL!
My first day as a "real" employee and I'm excited about that .. I treated myself this early AM to a nice cup of coffee and some internet. I have some things to get done at the moment and I'm going to enjoy myself at work I already know.
Speaking of dating I think I would like to go out on a date and just be treated like a woman .. nothing outside of that .. however I think it's time to dip my big toe in the water just to relax and be me. I would like a male companion friend .. nothing outside of that .. it would be good for me and for the kids too. It must be a hormone thing .. I've just been noticing being noticed a lot more .. that may just be because my confidence is coming out more and more. I had to laugh last night at the grocery store I wound up seeing people I used to work with at my other job and they all said the same thing .. you so need to be the one up at the front. We miss you. This is 2 years later .. that really made me feel so good. I guess that is much more attractive than I realized.
The kids called their dad (now this just is what it is .. however UGH is all I can say), it is a conversation we've been having .. it's 7 months sense he's seen them .. it is not ok that he's blown them off like this and I need a break .. even if it's just a couple of hours on the weekend it's better than nothing at this point. They need their dad as long as he's sober and he's gotten a clear message from them that he will have to be sober. He risks going to jail if he's not. It will cost him some serious money as well.
So next Sunday he will be picking them up for lunch .. of course he wants to take them to a movie too and my daughter said not the first day. LOL .. she has other plans for him and they involve Target! :)
Anyway, .. I'm very excited today and my chocolate coffee is tasting way good. :)
Hugs S :)
