Day 7 and still GF
I couldn't come here yesterday. The day just got away from me and I was dashing around looking after everyone. Everyone here seemed to be dropping like flies with being sick including me.
I ended up in bed after suffereing a really bad set of stomach cramps for about 2 hours. I thought i might have to go to the hospital but it seemed to subside. I have no clue what it was and it just came out of the blue, really strange. I took a strong antiacid and things did get better but wow. I was laid out for the day.
Much better today. The kids are all at school today, hubby still ill at home. I have never seen him like this. I do hope he feels like himself soon. It's been the strangest week with so much time on my hands. I think when I was juggling everything around like working, gambling, and living I would dash around madly trying to make up for the time that I didn't have. Now I have so much. I shopped at the grovery store this morning and once again got around with time and felt like I had a full load.
I have felt like gambling today. Hubby asked "what are you doing today?" chores, the usual. So often in the past that would ahve been a lie but it wasn't today it was the truth.
Pay day is tomorrow and we have extra cash. We have a huge VISA so this will help. Extra cash, now there's a bonus, usually i would have twiddled away all the extras and then some. It is a good feeling. It will be interesting to see if I make it to a month GF just how much we actually save by staying away from those machines! I'm still taking once day at a time.
Work called me this morning and asked me to temp over the next few weeks for a couple of days. Exta cash once again but this time it can go towards something worthwhile itstead of being wasted.
It's been a whole week since I have been any where near a venue. I am discovering joy each day. I am really enjoying my babies, not that they are small but they are so fun! There is a freedom rising up slowly and a peace.
hugs to all and i hope your weekends were all great.

Great job! I'm really glad you are doing this. Isnt the extra time nice?
I wonder if you had a touch of food poisoning?

I hope you are feeling better.
Always be aware that you must never let your guard down to gambling. It will try to coax you in but don't let it. Be strong. I wish you a good week ahead. Think of it as a fresh start. You are doing so well, keep up the good work! hugs

Westy is right, it is all too common for us to feel ,after a period of success, that it is now safe to "just try it for a little bit". Beware of that trap, it is our addiction crying out for food, let it starve!! You take the extra time and money that you've earned, and use it to make your life,and the life of your family,a better, richer, more fulfilling experience. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, sounds like a bit of food poisoning to me ,too. Everyone gets sick at once,too much of a coincidence.
Glad you all feeling better.
