Hello all, it has been a super long time since I blogged. Alot has changed in my world in the last 5 years. I have 3 grand children now, alcoholic liver disease, and a job I start on Monday. Just 4 short days from now.

My sobriety was forced on me due to the liver disease. It wasn't a choice I made. But I like sobriety and now it's a choice I make every day.

Sobriety changes you. It changes your thinking, changes how you feel, and changes your relationships. I see people in an entirely different way than I did drunk. Hubby in particular. I still love him, but he drinks, in front of me every night and I find in disrespectful. He saw my struggle, my illness. I understand it's an addiction he can't control any more than I could control it. I'm not judging him. I dont fuss about it. But I do wish he'd do it outside. Anywho that doesn't tempt me.

I've been sober over a year and I dont even want it. My only weakness is a margaritas at the Mexican restaurant. That is hard to resist. It's like that cig after sex.

Anyway I hope to gwt back to posting again, maybe offer up some great content.

Thus post is just a taste of what all I have to talk about. So watch for more. Maybe some confession of a sober bitch stuff.

to become immortal

It's no secret, its just something that is commonly over looked or misinterpreted. Fact is we all die. But there is a way to live on past your death... In the memories of those you touched. My grandfather will probably live forever because he led such an adventurous life that his stories will go on for generations to come. My mom still tellls me stories of my grandpa's adventures and misadventures and I tell them to my kids who will likely tell them the their kids because they are good stories and it gives you a sense of pride to know that the blood of the man who did "that" also runs through your veins.

So I tell you friends and neighbors.. The key to imortality is rolling down hills with your kids, making mud pies, fishing with marshmallows when you have no bait, having soda pop wars with canned sodas, those are the memories that will live live on way past your life time. Those are the stories your cildren will tell teir children with a smile and a sense of pride because the blood of the woman who "did that" also runs through them.

Sure enough, your friends might roll their eyes, your neighbors might think you are nuts, it might seem like no big deal to you, but your kids will think you were the greatest person to ever walk talk or breath and when they tell those stories to their kids they will smile and laugh and remember the moments with you. and in that way in their words you will never die.

my gun or my child

I was shocked today when I visited my daughters facebook causes page to see that she had recruited more of her friends.. Infact almost double the amount of friends to promote the cause "right to bear arms" than she had either of two other causes, "child abuse awareness" and "cancer in children".

Where is the humanity in being more concerned with being allowed to have something that kills people than with a cause that helps children?

Dont get me wrong I think we shoiuld have the right to bear arms too, but I don't believe being able to kill should takje precedence over promoting something that could potentially save a child, or any human life for that matter.

"now little Tommmy, Im gonna look the other way while your daddy beats you, and it sucks that you have lukemia but on the bright side if you live to be an adult you'll have the right to carry a gun because I supported that right for you" Im sure little Tommy will than you all..

Im just saying...

life is short

Is your life where you planned it to be when you were a kid in your footie pajamas planning your future did you think it would be where you are right now? Do you have a bucket list?

My life, and probably no one out there has the life that they dreamed 20 years ago. Children dont seen the hidden stuff. In a childs life its all cut and dry and about right now. They dont know that today paves the path to tomorrow. How could they?

If I could go back and talk to 12 year old me I would tell me tht everything I do at twelve effects everything Ill ever do. Id tell me not to take that whole bottle of tylenol and hope death takes it away cuz id be missing out on so much now, and i'd have stomach troubles for the rest of my life because of it. Id tell myself that the boy that was my everything and knocked me up would dump me soon after the baby arrived. Id tell me to slow down and be young every chance I got. Because life is far to short to grow up to fast.
