I had an unbelievably stressful day.
oh man…if I didnt have my son tonight, I’d be irresponsible and somewhat wreckless in my pursuit of relief.
Any suggestions for someone who still needs to be a reliable parent?
I have organized two Halloween Parties, two parades and now my neighborhood party and parade…A lot of wine will be flowing… Wine helps everything…except the next day…which is so unfortunate.
But wine in a tub with with a candle and People Magazine…
Don’t know how old your son is, go out to a “funny” movie, rent a “funny” movie, go out and eat, play games, have a glass of wine,think about all the good you do have in your life, hug your son, tell him how special he is, he probably is the best thing you have in your life. You have been through many rough days, you know you get another chance tomorrow,it will be better. This is my Dogs favorite night of the year, A Jack Russel Terrorists, he will be running all through the house mad, crazy and barking all night, at all the cute little trick or treaters.Can’t open the door with him so I have to stand outside, to pass the candy out, lucky it is warm decent weather. I am going to have a lovely evening myself. Remember this will pass. Hugs mamolie
I hugged my son…LOTS.
I got a bottle of wine and Baileys, I’ll make my final choice later when he is out trick-or-treating with his buddies (he’s 11, he doesnt want one of his parents following around anymore). I ordered dinner in so I dont have to face a cutting board and chefs knife!!!
And I’ve got a thriller to distract my attention. I think I’ll do the bath after my sons gone to sleep.
So thanks girls for the suggestions, I’m seeing how I can fit them in as I go.
parades huh? sounds like lots of fun.
A few of my “clients” were particularly “without sufficient self-censorship” today in terms of behaviour. There was a moment I was actually afraid someone might get hurt. It turned out my fears werent realized thankfully, but the stress of that half hour is still in my body.
I’m thinking the guy I team teach with, and I REALLY need to find a way to inject more humour in what we do…its like a M.A.S.H. unit in there some days.
Call me Hawkeye.
I think you made the right choice Phoenix…
EXCEPT…
DO NOT mix the wine and the Baileys…
Trust one who knows, it will taste disgusting…
And either way, quit while there is still a glassful in the bottle. It’s that last glass that is the killer.
I am SO envious…I SO wanted a bottle myself tonight, but I am on standby for a possible 60 mile drive so I can’t… :o(
Lindt 85% cocoa solids dark chocolate on special was nice…
But it didn’t really hit the spot square on for me.

Oh sorry - I thought you were looking for someone to be irresponsible and somewhat reckless with 
Nevermind 
Mercenary,
youre funny. I have someone in my life already, a really good guy. You can imagine how that soothes and brings some relief to a spirit full of anger and anxiety sometimes…
other times he is the last person I want around when I’m feeling wreckless and angry. Then I just want to be alone, usually in my car driving far too fast for anyone’s good, and looking for trouble.
Those are the times I think its a shame I wasnt born a man. They seem to have a much easier time working out all that testosetrone in wreckless but more socially acceptable ways.
But I hear youre almost offering???
(chuckling) silly boy.
If you were a man, full of testosterone, you could become one of the contenders in the UFC (Ultimate FIght Challenge). Have you ever seen that? Oh wow, its rough. My SIL watches that stuff.
I prefer Dove Chocolate. Or even a pint of good quality ice cream. Of course, one knows that I am a comfort eater by the size of my behinder.
The problem with drinking (even good wine), is that the alcohol is a depressant. So the more you drink, the worse it gets. And if you have an abusive ex, that’s the “ten foot tall and bullet proof” you that decides to call him and give him a piece or your mind. And that’s far worse than waking up next to a stranger. lol.
