Life and My Pursuit of Happiness.....

It's been awhile since I've last posted.....we're doing well. Mike still likes his job. London is ornery and feisty all at the same time! I'm not sure I like the 4 year old stage - he's very bratty at times! Please tell me it gets better!

Now don't laugh but I've been working on Barbie clothes - crocheting them. It's fun and gives me something to do in my quiet time. It started out as just making them for London's barbies (yes he plays with barbies, and no he's not gay!)and then for London's Godparents' little girls and it just grew from there. I've been making other stuff as well. I've found a couple of places to sell my stuff so now I'm looking into doing that as well.

My manuscript for my 2nd book is in the envelope and ready to be posted in the mailbox. I'm always a little anxious and nervous when my manuscript leaves my hands and arrives in the hands of my editor. EEEEEEKKKKK!

We're just trying to keep life as normal as possible for London despite the alcoholism going on here with my Dad. If I were president I would enact Prohibition all over again and then all of the alcoholics in the world can stick it up their butt and smoke it!!!!! Here's my definition of an alcoholic:

A: Absence of Judgement
L: Lack of Care for Anyone but Themselves
C: Careless
O: Offensive
H: Hopeless
O: Opposing of "doing the right thing"
L: Lost
I: Insensitive
C: Coddled by enablers who don't make them deal with their little problem.

I hear it all the time...alcoholism is a disease...blah, blah, blah.....I don't really care if it's a disease or all in their head. Deal with your problem, get over yourselves, buck it up and do the right thing. Stop making your family members bow down to you by manipulating people to do what you want them to, stop blaming others for your inability to deal with your drinking problem, etc......we're not the ones at fault for you losing your job, for you getting a DUI (which you deserve if you get caught drinking and driving) for your lovely hangover the next day, and for the money you don't have because you blow it all on drinking. Look in the mirror and figure out that you only have yourself to blame for taking your next drink. And THAT my dear friends.....is my opinion of an alcoholic. It's just an excuse to drink.

TA TA For Now.....

P.S. I'm not lowering my standards just because other people cannot live up to them...
