9:14 at nite

Good evening, yes it is nite time. This will be short tonite. I thought I would reintroduce myself to you. I am 55, married, and I have 3 kids. Meg 23,Erin 13 and Bill 83. Meg is away at school and Erin is almost in high school. My husband Brian is a carpenter.

Bill has Parkinson's dementia, so we live with confusion most of the time. It does make for an interesting Household.
We live in a beautiful S Calif city. The weather is great, the beach beautiful and the neighbors cool.

We work hard. When we are not working we are home people. This actually works out well now days. Who can afford to go out. The cost of dinner and a movie is almost as much as rent. Add a club, and you don't eat for a week. (great for diet)
Little extras we have, 2 rats, 2 turtles, and 3 rabbits.
Now I don't think I have to tell you who takes care of the pets. This job usually goes to a parent.I have a poll off to the side, lets see what you think.

Another big thing is I have been sober now for 1 year and 4 months. I think this is pretty amazing. Life, especially mine is pretty rough when you are drunk or with a hang over. We started taking care of Bill with 1 month of sobriety under my belt. What was I thinking ?

Well I have survived and so has my family. We I work early tomorrow so I must end. Have a great nite and be safe ! PS: I hate capital letters !!!!!!!

Well, my friend I think it is pretty amazing that you have been sober for as long as you have with all you have been dealing with! I think you should give yourself a pat on the back! God Bless you!
