Hey AllToday of course is the day Tennesse plays for the SEC East Title. It was a very interesting game. 4th overtime and defense finally won it. I didn't go grocery shopping until the game was over so it was late. We got groceries and got home and was hungry. We put up groceries and then ate. It was late and I was wore out.I watch some tv, played with the puppy and then went to bed.Got up and got ready to finish cleaning the house what we didn't do yesterday. Got it done. Took a shower and then found out dad isn't coming. Oh well should have known. He never comes. He says something about Tuesday but we will see. Ralph's parents are coming and my mom and the two boys down the road from us. So we will have a full house with or without dad. Watching football and waiting to eat supper at 4. Tuesday will be my one year clean and dad will probably come with a couple under his belt. He always has had a drinking problem and we don't go to his house because he drinks in front of my kids. Even though they are 21 and 19 I'm still looking out for them. Always taught them drugs and drinking is no good. Even though I drunk when I was young and thats another story. My kids dont smoke either and not against anyone who smokes but I taught my kids it was bad for them. So feeling somewhat let down but I will have a good time with everyone else.Thanks for listening. LoveRobin

I\'ve taught my kids the same even though I did smoke and drink as a teen. They saw my late father-in-law at his worst as an alcoholic and have a deep adversion for the stuff. He was sober for the last couple of years of his life, so the kids do have some good memories of him. I hope you have a good weekend and that you get to see your dad. It\'s hard to be let down by those we love. I\'m glad you\'ve got plenty of friends and family to support you. Hugs, Anglena
congrats on your year, hope your week is great.
my dad was an alcoholic,and it was miserable cause he was not anice drunk.I saw my brother start walking dwon that same road.staying in the bar all hours spending his pay check on boose instead of his family.i sat him down and talked to him and he has not touched a drop since.I just wanted him to remember how rotten our young life was and compare it to what he was doing to hi own family.I,m sorry that you hve to deal with this,my heart and thoughts are with you talk care an enjoy your loved ones.and thank the lord that you have lead your children down the right path.god bless lol xoxo deb
