I decided to stay home Friday too, and make it a nice 4 day weekend. It rained most of the day til around 3pm, when suddenly the sun came out and the wind kicked in.
My daughter came over with the baby and spent the afternoon with me. Around 8 pm I went to dinner with my sister and two cousins - we celebrate each other's birthday going out to eat. It's always the birthday's girls choice and the other three share the bill. Last night we went to STOVE - it's an American-French place - we skipped the appetizers and ordered 2 cosmos and 2 glasses of wine). My cousins' husband came over after work = he and my husband were going to eat at a place called the Beer Garden - hamburgers and potato pancakes (and a beer or two).
We came back to my place after dinner to find my cousins' husband had fallen asleep on the couch. My husband was holding court at the kitchen table, smoking, drinking and rambling on to some one in his past. Not a very pretty sight, but everyone knows about him. On the kitchen table was a large empty bag of Burger King -I guess they decided to skip the garden and to go straight for the beer. We all said good night and I got ready for bed. My husband was not happy - he promised to throw out the computer in the morning - he did not want me sharing my journal with some guy in Hong Kong. (Did I say something about Hong Kong?) It's funny, but what he was saying did not bother me. I knew from experiance that he was more drunk than I could understand.
So as I watched and listened, it seemed more and more like a movie - I don't know how to explain it. Thank you Lord for my good friends and wonderful family = and a special blessing on your child(my husband) who you have left in my care.

I've popped in here several times through Blogmad and I must say your patience with dealing with a spouse with what I'm assuming is a drinking problem is remarkable.
Believe me, i'm not so remarkable.
I break down plenty - but who wants to hear that....
it is a disease - not as forgivable as a brian tumor but a illness just the same.
