Um....Really?

I am 42 and it didn't last long.

The Dental Pain

So today I had two teeth pulled, OUCH! Man my mouth hurts. Years of neglect has landed me here. Now on top of it all I have a partial in my mouth. Will I ever get used to it? I am having about $7000 worth of work done over the next few months and I am not looking forward to it. The pain now is nothing I can't deal with it's just something I wish I didn't have to.

On top of everything else my period won't start. It's over 10 days late and it's driving me nuts. I think it's just the start of me getting old.

My guinea pig count as of today is 15. This all because someone accidentally put the boy pig in with the girl pigs and he got all 4 females prego in a matter of hours. I didn't know it was even possible for a pig to have that kind of stamina! It's funny because the boy pigs name is Elvis because he's Elvis with the pelvis! Now to find satiable homes for all these little guys. Elvis is going to make a little visit to the vet so it doesn't happen again, EVER!

Feeding all these pigs is $$$$ ! Between their food pellets, fresh fruits and veggies and well piggie checks at the vet I'll be broke.

I do love my piggies though!

I still haven't drank and I don't miss it. Actually that is a partial lie. I could of used a nice Pinot Gris the other day when it was 107 outside. But I got through and one glass of wine is never enough. I sure do wish I didn't have my parents bad genes. My father (real one, sperm donor) had a drinking problem. I don't know him but I have heard stories. My mother is VERY obese. She doesn't understand why people have problems with alcohol. She always say, "just don't do it!" Well mommy all those knee replacements, back surgeries, diabetes's, foot surgeries and the list goes on....wouldn't be necessary if you would just put that fork down!

I grew up vowing I would never be heavy like my mother. At 42yr I wear a size 10. I'm okay with that. I'm a vegetarian and have been for about 6yrs. With the exception of fish every once in a while I can't even imagine eating meat. I do LOVE cheese. My hubby brought home a hugh platter of sliced cheese from Costco yesterday. It is so fattening but soooo good! I love Asiago cheese. I eat it just cut into slices. Oh and good Gorgonzola. Now I'm hungry and can't eat....SHIT!

Now I am going to be a bum and watch the movie Sunshine Cleaning! I so hope it's good.

Just remember to brush and floss the teeth you want to keep!

I Wish I Could Sleep 13 Hours

This week oldest child moved back home, again! Poor thing just can't seem to get the man thing right. She knows he's not good for her. She is just scarred of being alone. Not to mention the fact she has to move back home to her own room. Now comes the task of moving all her stuff back into storage. This is the 3rd or maybe 4th time.

She isn't as upset as last time but she's still hurting. She leaves for her vay-cay to Hawaii in a couple of weeks so she has someting to look forword to. I can't believe her 20th birthday is next week.

My husband announced he was "having a bad day and going back to bed!" That was at 11:30am. He is still in bed.

So now the fights start. Younger kid's stay up till 2am and sleep till 3pm and oldest works and has to be to work at 6am. Balance that one mom!

So for now I just wear my striped uniform and say....Shhhh, someones always sleeping! Son of a bitch!

July...Oop's

I haven't posted in so long. I look at the blog list I am reading and I see my own. Some how I always put myself last. I always finish reading everyone else and I get my fill of blogs. Mine always goes to the wayside.

In the month between my last post I have done lots. I finished my program and graduated. Yeah me! I'm still sober.

I've done some Kayaking, hiking, boating, and camping. Lot's of outdoor activities. My dog is loving the camping. My kid's, not so much! No electronic devices. My new fave place is Cougar Washington. It is so pretty up there. It only takes about a hour to get there so it's a easy trip.

I wish I had more to say...what I can I say but I don't!

Oh ya, anyone out there want a guinea pig? I now have 9 and one more due any day.

I could freakin wring the piggie rescue for mis-sexing that cute red piggy. Then I would have to wring my own neck for not checking it myself.

Still Sober!

I can't believe how long it's taken me to post again. With camping, school ending this week and my classes, time just flew by.

I am finished with class on July 14! It seemed to go so fast. I enjoyed every minute of it and for that I am thankful. I know so many people in my life that are still suffering. If I have learned one thing from this entire journey it's that you can't force anyone into it. They need to be in the right state of mind in order to succeed. It still breaks my heart for those that still suffer. I wish I could take away the pain and give them a new found freedom.

One day at a time.....

Friday, Again!

Most people look forward to Friday. Me, it the start of routine bending(or so I call it)!

Nothing is ever in a routine. One child is going to a friends after school to spend the night. One husband is flying home. One son is already bored. The car has to go to the shop. The lawns need mowed. The grandparents expect us to drive for 2hrs to spend Sat. with them. The laundry needs done. I need to go to DEQ followed by DMV. I need to pick up kid from friends house before friends parent leaves. It seems never ending.

Maybe I should just go back to bed till Monday?

Crap! I have class today! Crap!

But the one thing that stands out on this friday is...I'm still sober!

Memorial Day

I made it to the Columbia River....yeah! 

Picnic in hand, children in tow!

The beach was full of sun worshippers from all walks of life. It's nice at this park," The Fishermans Bar." At least I think that's the name?

We all played in the river and had a grat time people watching.

Speaking of people watching, why can't I be comfortable with my body to where a bathing suit? Some of these women were a good 200-250lbs and were wearing swimsuits. Me, I'm 5"7 and 143lbs and I am NOT wearing a suit out! Some of these women had two pieces on! I wish I was that confident. I feel out of place wearing shorts.
