Christopher!!!! (my baby) ”sniff sniff”

Today is a really big birthday in our house.  Its a beautiful day so far, the sun is shining bright, and we have a beautiful cool breeze.  I woke up feeling great, watching my silly scale going up 1 pound, then down 1 pound, up, then down.  Crazy.  At least I’m somewhat maintaing, I just have to kick it up a notch.

So my youngest child, Christopher turns 21 today.  We’ve been trying to figure out what to get him for the last three days.  Of course he says “oh nothing Mom”  Alan and I ran to a little shopping mall where 2 of Chris’s favorite clothing stores were.  We figured we’d give him a gift certificate so he can pick what he wants.  That night all the power was out and the stores closed

So here I am on his birthday and still nothing.  My other son was thinking about this as well and came up with a MP3 player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was so relieved, because this is a big birthday.  Any birthday is special, but this is big.  So today I’ll go and pick one out  (may wait for Alan and go together, he knows much more about these things)  Jon and Alan and I will all pitch in so we can get a better quality one.

I’ll pick him up a small cake and there you go!!!

Now about the praying all day and night, he is now legal age to buy beer/alcohol.  He’s been drinking on and off and I have no way to control it because I can never catch the one buying it for him.  Its a serious offense, contributing to a minor.

So Chris plans to go out tonight for a party, he has a vacation day tommorrow.

My stomach is in knots.  Please say a prayer that he survives his 21st birthday.  His life is just a mess right now, and he seems to think turning to drinking will make the pain go away.

Ok…that was depressing enough.  How is everyone elses day going? 

Ate some homemade vegetable soup and it was yummy and almost completely salt free.  I’ll be eating it for a couple of days LOL…the scale will surely go down if I keep this up

So, lets all have a really fantastic day….you are all so unique and loving in your own special ways.  I love BuddySlim, good friends, good support and always someone there when you need a friend.

Gods blessings to you all, have a beautiful day
