The FIREPLACE??

Wow - we do live in different parts of the country now don't we?? Still 80 degrees or more here in Louisiana!

So how many more months till you move to DC? (Isn't that where you are going next?)

I'm doing good. Been very focused on work the last couple of days which was much needed and I'm starting to feel a little better now - so that's REALLY GOOD!!!

Hey Giddy and HAW - you all went the same hairdresser!

I wish they had the hair blowing thing like Dallas has for shorter hair like mine, but they don't. Can't look cool with my hair!!!

Hi J&P!

Hi BW,

Did you get a reply from your ex?

 

[blessedwoman]

My husband said there was one. I wasn't planning to look today...Anyway, since he brought it up I asked what the general gist was. He said the ex said "You need to talk to E to find out the truth. It's only occasional. You (me) do the same thing. You gave him a glass of champagne." Is he for real? This stance, if it's accurate, will be unacceptable. 6oz of champagne the night he graduated from high school is not the same thing as giving the boy license to drink one or two beers regularly, not occasionally, (more if the ex isn't paying attention as my son confessed is the case) starting a year and a half ago, AT LEAST.

If this is what he is really trying to live by, I'll let him know we'll see what court thinks of it as it relates to his time alone with my other son. I'm not letting him mess him up!

Last night I confronted my son AGAIN about the drinking and also the fact that he lied to me for so long about it. He agrees he was disrespectful. I told him what I have been blamed for in his life, while his father chooses to break the law. He asked what he could do to put me at ease or make it better. I told him to start with respecting my concerns for him and stop the drinking now. He said he would. I did tell him if his father didn't comply, I was suing for custody of his brother. This upset him, understandably. I've made it a point to not let them know most of the attitude their father is exhibiting, but I let a lot out last night.

I also told him I needed to see him exhibit more self-discipline. The other night he was so concerned about upsetting me with his confessions about God and disappointing me. I had told him he was in God's hands, not mine and that I prayed for him regularly and loved him always. I told him I would be disappointed if he was not a man of integrity. Last night I told him that lying and hiding were not signs of integrity.

So, I deal with the ex tomorrow. I worked today and Tuesday is 'date night'. My date is fast asleep! LOL

Uuuhhh, how was your day?????

 

[Joyandpeace]

My day was good! I've been getting so much done at work because I've been staying off the internet more! And that makes me feel good to do a good job.

Nothing else much to report! I lead kind of a boring life!
