Catching up
Yea, so I said to myself I would update often and, well... that didn't work out.
I've been a boring girl. No drinking for over two months ... no smoking either (go me). I'm going to cheat ... but I will NOT beat myself up for doing so.
Easter was good. Spent Good Friday with Mom and Amy. Brought Amy to the dentist, went grocery shopping with Mom, picked up Amy and the three of us went to lunch at Mystic Village. Then went job hunting for Amy at the Village. She got a job at Angel Haven. Watched "Borat" in the evening with "ZomBee" and Mom and Amy. Saturday we all colored eggs and made cookies. Mom, Beth and I spent the better part of the afternoon just yapping and I balanced Mom's checkbook and in the evening we had Dale over for Chinese food and watched The Guardian on pay per view.
Easter was nice. All family and no major dysfunction! Yay!!! Did the annual Basket Hunt for the kids. Too funny that no matter how old they get I STILL have to do the the dang basket hunt. LOL! You know, I first started doing this tradition when Amy was but a wee one. I had this freakin' brilliant idea that I would start a tradition all on my own. It was to be a tradition that, when my kids were older and had their own kids, they would remember with fondness. Well, little did I know that I would end up doing it for years upon years on end *cracking up*. Let this be a lesson to all you potential parents out there... be careful what you set up as traditions cuz you'll be doing it for YEARS! LOLOLOL!(But you know what? They WILL remember it for the rest of their days and hopefully pass it down to their kids... so I guess my work here is done *smile*)
Talked to my shrink today about what a bitch I've been. My sister said maybe I've always been a bitch, but have medicated myself for all these years and have hidden the fact. My shrink didn't agree. He said that I've swallowed myself (so to speak) for so many years that I'm finally learning to assert myself. He said it's like learning to walk... it's new to feel empowered so I tend to over-exert myself. I just have to learn how to take "baby steps" and not try to do it all at once. Personally, I like what my shrink said better than thinking that I've always been a bitch... but whatever. LOL. He has a point. I need to learn to temper my aggression. And, with that in mind, I will try to do so. It will be a challenge, but I'm up for it.
I'm rambling... that's what happens when I don't post for a long time. I'll shut up now :)
