3 THINGS FOR FRIDAY (THE 13TH!)
What I'm thankful for today:
1. This board and the people on it. I know that I have found a great bunch of people who I can turn to for support or for a laugh!
2. For my wonderful 13 yo niece who calls just to see how much weight I've lost since she last saw me!
3. For Dr. Singh ,Cathy and Arlene...who are all working so hard to figure out what's going on with me and my lack of fluid intake. I will ever be grateful to Scott Bovard, MD for sending me to Dr. Singh and his practice.

1. I am grateful for the words out of the mouths of babes. I was in the pool with my 5 yr old granddaughter last night. We were playing and I had my arms resting on top of the pool. Well, the loose skin on my arms was very obvious. She said...."nana, your muscles are funny". I said "honey, that is not muscle that is skin". She then proceeded to tell me that her other grandma had those kind of muscles too. Should I call grandma and tell her...lol
2. I am off work on Monday and am going to the beach with 3 other women...no husbands or kids around.
3. That my son is 4 months sober. I guess that really should be at the top of my list daily. Keep him in your prayers.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers on this board.

Alcoholism is a killer for any family. I grew up in a dysfunctional household. For years, I thought it was normal to have a drink at 9 in the morning. I can't tell you how many times my father would drink and drive with all of us in the car. Just a mess. He sobered up after I moved away from home at 18. And while he may be sober for 22 years and is a different person, the memories from my childhood are what stick with me the most. He really was not a very nice, good or decent person. I don't know how my mother stayed with him.
Gail,
I have been 8 years sober. Your son is in my thoughts. It's not easy. For me to stop, it took a life threatening accident to happen (not behind the wheel but it involved me falling 7 feet head first onto concrete). I was so out of control then. I guess you could say I was scared sober.

Back to work on Monday! BLAH!
1) Thank you Phil! I was in such a need of my manicure and pedicure.
2) My new mission, FIND A NEW JOB! I am really excited about this and want to do something different is this is possible. I have been in the medical field for almost 18 years now and need a change. I would not mind something federal but I don't want to drive to Washington everyday but we shall see. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I really need to do this for me.
3) Grateful for DAYCARE! OMG Gabriella drove me nuts at the pool yesterday. I think she was really tired and her friends were not there. So today is my day to sit at the pool. Back to work on Monday so I need a little R&R and want to read my new self help book. I am so into that crap but it works! I love to read!
4) Protein shakes, thank goodness I still like these things. I just can't seem to get the whole eating thing yet. I wanted to eat so bad and did great from about a week. Now back to drinking a ton and doing shakes cause I am just not wanting to eat.
Hey Kristen - A guy does your mani/pedi? Oooooh, does he give hand massages? There are federal jobs all over - not necessarily in D.C. And NO, you DON'T want that drive!! Good luck with the hunt! Dave, in Alvin & the Chipmunks, said about having kids, "And sometimes, you just want to put them in a box and leave them in the park!" AMEN!!!! Love 'em, but jeez, sometimes..............

Hey Guys
1. I lost 13 pounds in 7 days !!!!!!!
2. For my Pop. He is the only man in all my 31 yrs that I can depend on no matter what. He is a wonderful grandfather and even better great grandfather to my son. He loves us with all of his heart as we do him. He is the best...........
3. For being able to walk for about 30 mins this morning without colapsing lol. Before surgery I could walk over an hour and be fine with it so I am not used to get tired so quickly now. Its getting better everyday.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
