:hug::hug:Hugs for you Gladys!:hug::hug:

:Wave-Hello:Hi everyone!! I have missed you all!! Checkin in...hope everyone is doing OK!!:grouphug:

:hug: Checkin In :hug:

Had a busy weekend with my middle son's 3rd birthday! Wow, hard to believe how quickly time flies by!

Also celebrated my 1 yr anniversary for my MS dx and am about to celebrate 1 year on Copaxone for the MS. Busy week ;) :hug:

Think I'm getting a cold or something, I've got a sore throat, and have been feeling fatigued....other than that ;) :D ....Life is well :D

I actually stopped drinking around this time last year, when I started meds....started back up in March, then stopped for good in May, after I realized my mind could no longer tolerate the drink.... :hug:

Oh Happy Birthday to your son:hug:and a hug too!!

Good to hear from our Gladys!!! I am happy to see that you are OK! Hey...you wil have 6 months next month...Yahoo!:Dancing-Chilli:

Good Wednesday!

Checkin In! Just got back from the dermatologist and the moles of concern get to stay on my back, as well...they are normal looking :D Yay! Kind of figured, as the 'one' that always seemed to freak out the nurses, et al...I've had since I was born.

Going on 6 months next week, today! Can't believe how quickly the time flies by. I just stumbled upon a website today, as I was looking into acoa. www.recoveryissexy.com
It has info about almost every imaginable addiction one could be trying to recover from.

I haven't meant to disappear from here as sporadically as I have. Life just seems to catch up to me that way, sometimes:) If I'm not posting as much, it doesn't mean I'm not reading :)

:hug: :hug: :hug:

Don't you worry Gladys! I know you are around helping others!! Isn't that something...6 months coming up!!! WOW!
I started going back to meetings and oh my goodness I feel so much better. They really help me there. I have been so stressed out...I go there and I can dump my ***** on the table...I have felt much better and got to see so many people who have helped me so much...I never realized how much I have missed them!!! Hope all is well with you and the boys Gladys!!! Good to hear from you!!:hug:

Just checking in on this Sunday Night. 6 months will be here before I realize it, WOW!

Had a busy, yet fun family weekend! Enjoyed the nice weather and the boys had a blast between Trick or Treat, playing in piles of leaves and going to a Fall Carnival-where my oldest spent time with schoolmates.

Good times!

Hope everyone had a good weekend :hug:

I actually Missed my 6-month marker, here! ;) Like OMG! {I've been teaching my oldest to say O-M-G instead of Oh My G*D---he's catching on :D}

I've been dealing with a cold all week long, been a bit on the exhausted side of life, but it's all good.....

Other than dealing with the stressors of having an almost 2 yr old and definitely having a 3 yr old in my home, well....I don't envy myself, LOL :eek::winky:

My 3yr old goes for an informal speech evaluation next week. From there, they will determine whether to go all out with the formal evaluation. I'm taking it in stride, I realize what the ramifications are of this, but hey, it's not like it doesn't happen to what(?) 1 in 40? Darn genetics, lol ;) :cool:
He's a smart and cheerful young man, I see the opportunities in this all. Life is certainly much different today than it was 30 years ago....all of our children and grandchildren are and will be better off for all the changes and awareness this world has gone through....but I digress.

I suppose in the past, I used to drink and smoke my woes be gone. Of course, the woes never really seemed to leave me behind....

So here I am, saying, Hi, Hello, It's me GladysD and I'm checking in....it's been over 6 months and I'm a much better person (and writer too) for it!!!

:hug::grouphug::hug::grouphug::hug::grouphug::hug: :grouphug::hug:

Oh Gladys I am so sorry I missed your 6 month mark!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! You are doing great! Hope the boys are all ok....Hubby is away all week so I will try to pop in next weekend. Life has been stressful lately...will catch up later..take care...Luv Dorrie:hug:

Hi :) Checking In...

This week has been quite busy. The youngest had his crib converted to toddler bed over the weekend and now all the boys are sharing a room.....it's been an adventure in parenting as the bedtime routines have changed to accomodate the room changes. So far so good, although I'm starting to get used to seeing the three of them in the middle of the night when I check, curled up on the floor sleeping next to one another----kind of precious when you think about it :wink:

Also this week has been busy, as my 3yr old decided this is the week he's going to use the potty....he's doing great, I bet he'll be out of diapers before I can say diapers, lol....

I also sent in the paperwork to get the formal evaluations started. At the least he's going to need speech therapy twice a week. In a way, good for me if he can get enrolled into the preschool program :cool:....although I'm shaking my head in disbelief that sooner than I planned, I may be down to just one kid in the house....*breathing a small sigh of relief* :winky:

Hope all is well.....
