Checking in
I’m still here. Still sober at 9 months! Madly dashing here and there, trying to be super-medicore-mom while trying to juggle Christmas tasks, work, and child rearing responsibilities. I’m a little tired (I have that crappy cold that’s going around), but feeling pretty stable and happy. Max’s Holiday program at school last night was amazing. He wasn’t fidgeting (or picking his nose) and he sang all the right words (no “Batman smells, Robin laid an egg…”). I was so proud I thought my heart might explode.
This weekend we’re caroling over at my Grandma’s complex with the cub scouts. That should be a friggin’ hoot, considering how cold it is here and how much we haven’t practiced our songs. Good, clean, Christmas fun.
Anyway, I have tons of stuff to talk about but no time to do it. So, this is just a quick check in mommyblogging entry.

Woohoo!! Nine months! Isn’t it just the coolest thing in the world to lose track of exactly how many days you’ve been sober?
What a delight Max is. I wish my son could have a play date with him!
Don’t neglect the “suit up and show up” stuff the next couple weeks — alcohol came out of nowhere and took me down just before New Year’s last year. People tell me the holidays take down a lot of us our first time through them. Please pray for me that I safely navigate through them, too!
That being said — I’m glad you’re having a happy holiday season.
Nine months is huge and very good to hear. We caroled with the Tiger Scouts last week. Very fun.
Congrads, That is great!!!
Thanks so much, all! Your support means a lot to me. You’re right, Phil, I’m defintely going to play it safe and keep up with my meetings and other “sober” festivities. I’m not sure how I’ll handle my New Year’s but I will quietly toast you (with my sparkling cider) and pray for us both to make it through to what’s bound to be a great new year.
COngrats on the nine months!
Hope your oK..
