Nothing was going to wake my husband up for work yesterday. Not even the threat of my staying home with him. So I had to let go and let God be God. I had to rememeber that I had no control over the situation or my husband and his drinking. So I got ready for work, walk the dog, clear up the place as good as I could and left. I wished my mom good luck, she was spending the day at Atlantic City with the senior group.My daughter picked me up at 3PM from work - she needed me to watch the baby while she worked on her computer - she has 2 sites she maintains -one is I'm Not Obsessed.com and the other is celeb-diet.com . I just can't take my eyes off my granddaughter - she is my darling. My husband came downstairs and was trying to start a argument with me. I try very hard to stay away from him after 12 pm. It looked like he had picked up where he left off at the union meeting the night before.
Finally he left with the dog and I enjoyed my granddaughter until they left. I had dinner and stayed downstairs. He finally got back after 7PM and sat on the stoop and was challanging someone to come over and he'd take care of them - oh boy...after he went upstairs, someone came to the door and I answered it.A woman was standing there, asking for my con ed bill to make sure I was not being cheated - are people crazy??? Was I crazy for opening the door?? I told her I shred all my bills after I pay them - OH?? Then I heard my husband yelling from upstairs, I told those people not to come over to this house!!! Oh Boy....the dog was barking and I closed the door. That's when I decided it was time to go to sleep. I let God be God.

I'm glad I have no drinking issues myself. Both of my parents were alcoholics and the only positive thing i learned from that was the fact that I would never, ever want to have a drinking problem.
(I'm goofy enough without adding alcohol to the mix.)
You have more patience than I. I grew up with alcoholic parents and have managed to pretty much steer clear of any, including my husband. I will add you to my prayers
Your strength of compassion truely amazes me.
While my father's drinking wasn't quite the same as your husband's, our life was arranged around it to some degree.
And those people who want to make sure you're not getting cheated by ConEd - they're actually salespeople "registering" (i.e. signing up) people for their energy company's services without their full awareness. The customer finds out they've switched energy providers after the fact. They came to my door a few months ago, and I posted about them on my blog.
