There may be snow on the ground, and it may be freezing outside - but the sun....it's shining.
The bottle was left untouched again last night, making it 3 consecutive nights of not drinking. You have no idea how absolutely ecstatic that makes me. We had an easy dinner of pizza and wings, and settled into the couch to watch Grey's and Private Practice, it was generally a fantastic night. I'm so, SO proud of him for doing this. I know that he doesn't want to talk about it, but I make a point of telling him how proud I am that he didn't drink and how great I think that it is. He just smiles. I think he knows.
As for me, my hopes are high - but still not too high. I don't want to be absolutely crushed if this doesn't work out the way I think it should. I know that he may make a drink tonight, but as long as he stops at one I think he will be fine. I can deal with one. I can deal with HIM when he's had one. Any more than that and we will ultimately have another in depth and serious conversation that he will not be fond of.
Everything else on the homefront is okay. The boys are good, the dogs are lazy, and Peeka is still fat. I gained a whole pound, but then lost it somehow yesterday so now I'm back down to 110.8. My jaw has been hurting lately, and I'm not sure why. It pops sometimes, and while I know that it could be a warning sign of TMJ, I'm not too worried about it right now. Maybe when it locks up I'll go get it checked out :) ha!
My clumsiness, however, is unchanging. I'm getting worse and worse and worse. I tried to hop over this big Rubbermaid container (used to block Conley from getting out of the living room because I don't want to buy another gate) on my way to go pee, and failed miserably at it. When I landed my bad knee ended up hitting the corner of it and I collapsed and screamed. It felt like I ruptured something for a good 10 minutes, as I lay on the floor biting my sweatshirt so I didn't scream like a little girl. Aiden came and laid next to me and just said, "mama....hurt?" He's always so worried. I laid there for a long, long while and finally got up and hobbled to the bathroom. I stubbed 3 different toes on 3 separate occasions, I dropped some gelatinous goo from some Gerber turkey sticks all over the floor, and then proceeded to blow up one of the said turkey sticks.
I gave up and just sat on the couch.
One of these days I'll get my grace back!

Awesome about Tyler. Maybe it sunk it that you mean business. I can imagine how hard it is for him to NOT drink, but he's making progress and that's a HUGE start.
About your gracefulness or lack thereof, I won't go there! ;-)
