It has been a while since I've been here or on line much other than taking tests and helping my kids with their research for school. I had a series of training courses sprung on me and a short time to complete them in order for me to qualify for bonuses in my division. That might not have been so bad except the day I got the notice, my son broke his leg and he has needed a lot of attention and recently therapy. He is doing much better now but he is very scared that he will hurt it again and I think the psychological aspects are worse than the physical. On top of that, me and my guy that I jokingly called my common law fiance because we talked about getting married but never got formally engaged, had a major parting of ways and I thought it was over. Now we are friends again and rehashing our relationship but for a while it was pretty rough. I came to rely on him to do a lot of things for me and my kids that suddenly stopped leaving me studying, testing, taking care of my son and doing all of the little errands and pick up the kids trips that he used to do at the same time. 


During this time I needed an outlet and normally I don't drink or very rarely. But I started making myself a good stiff margarita every night and to be honest I think it was the one thing I had to look forward to at the end of the day that kept me sane! It definitely helped me get to sleep at night when my mind had been racing all day. 


I found this site that has a lot of recipes and thought I"d share it in case anyone else has been handed lemons lately. lol I've so far made sixty different recipes. I decided that when I've made them all I'll probably give up my night cap. But until then I'm enjoying it! Smile

Hi Marge thank you! I need all of the good thoughts I can get. I am in a much better mood now that the stress of the testing is over and my son is out of the cast and able to take care of himself and be more like the way he was. The relationship part is yet to be determined. lol But at least now I ...

Ohhhhhh now I get it about the margarita lol. If it works it doesn't seem harmful to have a drink before bedtime. I don't think you'd be the only one to ever have done that. lol I'm sorry to hear about your son's leg and I hope he gets well soon! Also that every thing else turns out exactly like it ...
