I am ashamed of myself today.
When my boss got divorced, I went as his witness & afterwards we had cocktails at Georgie's.
When I got divorced, my boss went as my witness & afterwards we had cocktails at Georgie's.
When my brother got divorced, I went as his witness & afterwards we had cocktails at Georgie's.
When Nate got divorced yesterday, I went as his witness & afterwards we had cocktails at Georgie's.Some what of a tradition, huh? But I have never been one to sit & drink with my son and I felt weird sitting there with him yesterday and really bad about it today.
Well, never fear, God always gets me when I get out of line....I got home from the bar around 5ish, after having 3 cocktails. I did a few things around the house & then settled down in front of the TV with a handful of peanuts that I didn't want. I saw someone pull in my drive as I popped the last unwanted peanut in my mouth and went to answer the door.
To my pastor and his wife, who have never ever visited me before.
Sheesh.
I invited them to sit at the dining room table and as luck would have it, he decided to read some scripture to me, pulling his chair over right beside me so I could read along. Me hoping the entire time that he smelled peanuts and not vodka on my breath.
Sheesh.
To make matters worse, Nate left the bar & went to a friends house & God only knows what time he got back home, it was after I went to bed at 11:30. I woke him 3 times this morning, the last time being as I was walking out the door "I'm leaving so I won't be waking you again so get up!". At 10 my cell phone rang...my brother in law, Nate's boss, wanting to know where Nate was since he wouldn't answer his cell.
Sheesh.
By persistant phone calls to the house and alerts to his two way radio, he finally got up. I don't know what time he actually made it to work, but I'm guessin around noon. Long day for him today, boy.
Sheesh.
I have officially lost my "Good Mom" title.
~sigh~

Well hell, if you're going to blow it big time (LOL that the pastor came) it might as well be AFTER the kid's already divorced. Congratulations!
RYC: You might be surprised, I'm not as lib as I seem....certainly not about all things.
Now you will be the object of more concentrated prayer. Hey, that's a good thing. I love you just the way you are!
RYC: Yes, it was. The difference in the jack asses(I mean "donkeys") in my picture is that the ones in my picture are cute and have brains....unlike the ones just taking over the majority in congress. We need to work hard the next 2 years to see that Hillary does not get elected...Nancy is such a lover of children...why the woman almost had me in tears with just how much she loves little children...She's a gramma too so that makes everything o kee do kee and....she's a good catholic too. And...she's going to see that there's more cooperation between congress and the pres...that is, as long as Pres Bush cowtows to these dingbats! Now, do you feel better?
I just love Fran's comments on your site and mine. She is so good with words..........lol
Be sure your sins will find you out as my mother always told me.
I think it's nicer when pastors call before they come calling. Oh well. If you were perfect you couldn't join that church!
Nah - you are still cool!
Oh MY GAWD Terri, YOUR PASTOR....well sorry I busted up laughing when I read this entry. How priceless is that? Oh you know i love ya and you still have good mom title. I bet you Nate would even say your the BEST mom!!! Anyway, thanks for your comment....I think you must have been a couneslor in your past life? Yah, I tried to forgive and forget but I feel self conscience around him now...oh well...it will pass eventually. he didn't even go with us to lunch today so HA on me eh?
Well if I get divorced I expect you to pick me up at the airport and take me STRAIGHT to Georgio's!! ;0)
later!!

that is funny terri. i think you are "cool mom" and "awesomely supportive mom". "understanding mom". you didn't lose a title, just got more. i hope you are feeling better and that the low valley gives way to a beautiful vista. i am really truthfully honestly thinking of looking for a different job. i hope that will help. cause if not, then it is me. and that is just sad. enjoy your day good friend.
Me again. I came across this Xanga website. You might be interested. A former Marine and ....he's even older than I am!
boymarine:
Hee hee, Murphy's Law in full force! Pobodys Nerfect. 'Good Mom' titles are accumulative, like lifetime achievement awards.
He's an adult. You are totally off the hook about being "good mom".
I almost went drinking the past couple of days (after tuesdays results)
My parents never went drinking with me being a PK and all.
is this the protected post you mentioned? I dunno.
Anyway, as I said elsewhere you're still a good mom!
Shalom!
