TGIF!!!!!!!

 

Friggin finally! 

Plans?  Well, yes some.

Miss T has an excursion on Saturday morning 10-12 with the science teacher.  Parents are invited along to hike a nature trail and have a picnic lunch....that is IF the info comes home today from school.  Then she has solo practice.

Otherwise, I seem to be free!

What do I need to do?

1.  Laundry roflmao

2. Clean MY room....imagine that!

3. Organize Miss T's room some.....help me Jesus!

4.  Get in my 4th bedroom aka junk / crafts room and get busy!

Guess I'd better stop by the drug store for some motivation tablets.

Hmmmmm I didn't see POOL mentioned....hopefully I can take a dip this weekend before it begins to rain on Sunday.  L99 is lurking out there wanting to be a storm I'm told.

We do need the rain.

Girls

Give a Tom a cookie.....

                                    

and he'll just want a glass of milk......or Give A "Tom a Praise" and you'd be assured that there will be a slip.  You know the drill......."proud of ya for containing your drinking this weekend - yay you!"  and "it was nice to get out, alone together for a change" or "hold hands" or......

......then......

Wednesday I have Mom pick Miss T up from school (Tom's working) with the idea of taking her to the restaurant and him bringing her on in for dance.  BUT.....he's off early, just sitting there waiting for them to show up, so I suggested they all just meet at home so he can shower and T can get her homework done.

Mr Man tells Miss T that he "had a glass of wine" at the restaurant after work  (while waiting for her).  So she calls me to tell me this while he's in the shower.

He calls back.........I ask him and he admits YES....and says "you told me if I were honest I wouldn't get into trouble".......

                       

HELLO!   OK yes, I said "be honest with me" instead of denying it,

BUT

You still can't drink AND drive my child around.  I said "the rule is you will NOT drink and drive my child anywhere period!"  Therefore Miss T did not make it to her dance class. 

   WTF????

What makes this glass of wine (or any alk) a bigger problem is the heavy narcotics he's taking for the knee pain.  Combined could be very nasty.

Ya know, my mom reminded me that Ron White says it best......
"Ya can't fix stupid"

Come to find out he was going to pour himself a Tea glass full of wine once home until Miss T stopped him (roomie watched it).  He said he wasn't going to pour a drink.  HUH?  Why have an empty glass and reach for a bottle?  He doesn't get it.........we're not stupid.

He shut himself up in the bedroom....I called him the 8th Dwarf, Pouty --- maybe I should change that to Baby.  He didn't want to talk to me.  And NO he wasn't "drunk", I guess he was just irritated because he "can't do anything right". 

Trouble is......now Miss T is asking "did I do something wrong?" but roomie and I keep assuring her that it does not have anything to do with her or anything that she did or said.

He is upset.  He has told me before that he is having a hard time accepting that he is going to have to make changes in his lifestyle...that he is "scared" of the thought of quitting the drink. 

After watching his crazy NY friend this weekend, he actually said THANK YOU to me for helping him not be a drunk and strung out on drugs.  Sooooooooooooo...................

FYIF--Abron

Just when I think I'm the only one on a roller coaster ride.......

Miss Abron Kelly is back at Duke....they performed a biopsy on her kidney on Tuesday and are awaiting results to see if the anti-rejection medicine is working properly.  Last Friday she was rushed back to Duke because of the lab results that were done here in Wilmington.

Lots of prayers needed for her and the Kelly family.  It is so sad to know that this special little girl has to go through so much.

Daydreaming on Hump Day

He's only a figment of my imagination......................

Not quite my type but he'll do in a pinch!

My New Diet

                     

Chocolate Calories 

A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy
two servings per night, and a few more on weekends, I
consume 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals
one pound of weight per week.

Therefore...

In the last 3 1/2 years, I have had a chocolate caloric
intake of about 180 pounds. I weigh only 165 pounds, so
without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about
three months ago!

I owe my life to chocolate.  

                   

Seeeeee?  Told you it was good for you!

 

               

Miss T made brownies yesterday.....I love brownies, but I've stayed away from them.  As a matter of fact, I am going to go back to using Chitosan and White Kidney Bean to help with my so called "diet".

Tom's friends came over on Sunday.  I decided to stick around to "babysit" the drinking.  His NY friend is one wierd, obnoxious fellow, but of course I new that.  At one point during dinner he began to choke on a piece of meat....he got it spit out into a napkin after a slap on the back.  Get this.........he ate it out of that napkin.

Now, I get that it is not a regurgitated kinda thing, but YUK, ya still don't eat it!  Reminded me of a dog after he......well, you get my drift.

Anyway, be very proud of Tom.....he had 2 glasses of wine AND ate dinner and he wasn't stuuuuuuuuuuuupid.  He should NOT have consumed ANY, but....... baby steps are good.

OK, enough gross stuff.

I did not do anything special for the long holiday weekend. 

Saturday Miss T had solo practice - she's doing a modern lyrical to "Hallelujah" from Shrek.....then we went to the Mall to look for pants for her skinny self.  Tough job!  She's so tall and thin it's hard to fit her.  We ended up finding a couple at Limited Too! and they were having a sale....the ONLY way to shop there.

Dinner was at TGIF.  Love the Jack Daniel's sauce!  I get the Chicken and Shrimp.  Tom had fajita's and Miss T ordered the Tostada Nachos and a salad.

Roomie was not feeling well at all....her heart.  She has congestive heart failure and she has been experiencing crazy blood pressure.....her BF needs to get his act together and come through with the insurance info and $$$$$$.

Monday I took Miss T to Halmark to buy a Webkinz and I got her one for her birthday.  That will make 5 of them.  Tom worked.  Had a lady (waitress) faint at work...so he stuck around till the ambulance etc were able to assess her situation.  Must have been heat exhaustion.

Well, that's all I have for now..........

 

September already!????

                

I can hardly believe it!  Where did my summer go?

I'm so disappointed in myself that I did NOT spend my summer on the beach or having any other kind of fun.  Summer '07 has been weird - not one that I'd like to do again.

Cindilouwho's wedding dramas.

Roomie's displacement.

Tommydrama.......the saga continues.

Lazy.........

Mostly meloncholy......no desire to do anything.

 The pool temperature this morning is 76 degrees....we've had a couple of cool (68) evenings that helped drop it down from the 80's.  I've contemplated getting a solar cover or the solar pads for the late summertime enjoyment...we have lots of nice days even through October that I could still enjoy the pool on the weekends.

So far Miss T has enjoyed her first week of school.....I so hope that continues.

Tom has a friend visiting from NY....he was here at the house yesterday afternoon.  Mr Man and I had scheduled a "date"......ready to leave the house by 5:30pm I said......

.........but he left at 5pm to take the friend to the other friend's house and didn't come back till  almost 6pm and couldn't understand why I was a bit upset when we were leaving the house at 6:15!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....like I've always said to him, I come SECOND.  He of course says that isn't so.

But I reminded him that he's never late for anything else esp WORK.  I said "What time do you have to be at work?" 

"Ten"

"What time did you get there this morning?"

"Nine-forty five"

My point exactly.

However, we did get to one of our favorite restaurants and were seated promptly.  Tom always has the Stuffed Flounder and I get the Stuffed Shrimp or Shrimp Scampi;  the appetizer here is always the Crab Dip!  Excellent stuff!  Best I've had ANYWHERE!

Saturday is overcast here.....Miss T has solo practice at 2pm.

Tom wants to invite his friends over on Sunday for a Pool Party (grrrrrr)....I say NO drinking!  I'm sure THAT won't happen.  I am planning to go to the beach house with my friend T and her son K for an overnighter.  Hope it doesn't rain.

YIKES!  It's almost 1.....gotta get outta here!

Tah all!
