Hi everyone, Bad modem has kept me offline for about a month. Not priority to fix as there were other things higher on the list of priorities. Update: Middle son officially left states on Feb. 3rd to head to Iraq. Should be settling in Kuwait about now for 2 wks before he arrives at his assigned duty for a year. Surprising myself by coping with this better than expected. While he's gone......have a wedding to concentrate on so when he returns about all he'll have to do is show up and say "I do". His fiance is a beautiful person, litterally inside and out. I couldn't have hand picked a better one! Work......up to the eyeballs through all of Jan. Exhausting but exhilarating! Slowing down enough now that I'm heading Feb. 13 to Ky. to see my nephew's new baby girl. My daughter and her little boy moved back in with me. The father got caught 'redhanded' cheating which shocked everyone including his parents. Alcohol.......playing it's sinister role contributing to this uphevial. She has maintained the relationship in that no denial of allowing him to have time with his son. The good news (and selfish on my part) I get to spend alot more time with 'grandma's little man'. AND I'm loving every second of watching him discover and grow. He's a trip and makes me laugh all the time. Uncertain what the future will bring and how long they'll be with me, but for now cherishing the time. Other than that......thankful for life. A big "WELCOME" to the newcomers. Hope you keep coming back. In the 5 years I've been around I am constantly amazed 'learning' new things from the input on this site. It was not easy at first to tackle and take to heart the varying aspects of this disease and how to cope daily. But in time if you keep at it you'll realize how wonderful life is sober. Wishing all you new here the best in your respective journeys. Got to run....."Grandma's little man" is loudly requesting he be turned loose from the confines of the crib. Anyone seen my running shoes? LOL Wanda
