so the visit was a no go b/c the counselor had to re-schedule. He's VERY reliable so it's a little weird. I started to read into what the universe was telling me, but then I snapped myself back to earth.
Actually the c's wife had cancer and I think it might be back. Then again, maybe it's nothing. I really hope (for good and selfish reasons), that she's fine and well. They are a model couple.
Oh, my youngest sister lost a lot of weight and said maybe it was her drinks on weekends that was slowing her weight loss down. So she gave up alcohol for Lent and I thought, "gee, that's setting a good example for the kids, etc." So I FOOLISHLY joined w/her. Too bad we're in a wine club!
Anyhow, after gearing up for the big C session that we DID NOT have, I sure wanted a glass of wine and to take a hot bath...and I didn't even go! Nope, I stuck with the no alcohol b/c yes, the kids know. But suddenly it seemed needlessly rigid.
Weirdly, I don't even drink much and neither does H. But having denied it to myself completely does weird things...like now I really want it. I have to figure out what, if anything, that might mean to a young person.
SIDENOTE, my youngest sister is a teacher. I told the kids "your Aunt N gave up alcohol for Lent, AND btw, she's lost a lot of weight" (she used weight watchers).
BUT This is what my kids heard:
"Aunt N stopped drinking for lunch and she's lost a lot of weight..."
like THAT is HOW she lost the weight!
and the weirdest thing is, they didn't seem amazed or shocked by this. And she does not drink much.
Man, their expectations are either really low or they are the most blase kids in that "phase" of "nothing surprises US!" On one hand, It's hilarious. But it does say something about our way of communication.... (or maybe their teachers drink at lunch?)
