Spring Break and remembering Lawn Chairs.

Well it's Spring break for me and the kids.  When we were home with all of our snow days, I got downright depressed.  We will see how this week goes.
Things that are not healthy for me to do and for the kids to see:

1. Lay in bed all day.
2. Lay on the couch all day.
3. Shut the kids out of my world by zoning out on PC or TV.

Ok, hey, it could be worse!!  I could be putting shots of rum in my iced tea or something else like that.  I saw a woman on Oprah once who drank all day with her kids at home.  She hid it well, or so she said.  She seemed so "normal" on the outside!!
Oh, wait, my mom did this, I forgot??!!
Gin and 7-up with ice in a tumbler.
Sit outside on the patio and talk to your bitter friend on the phone.
I could see her out my window.
It's a clear picture I have in my mind.  I see the lawn chair set.  It's a two-seater with a wooden table in the middle.  Gotta have that table for your ash tray and drink.

What is that stuff called that the chairs were made of??  I can feel the aluminum armrests under my hands.  I remember the lines on you legs when you got up.
I swear my step-dad fell through one when he was drunk.

Other stuff I remember my step-dad doing when he was drunk:

1. Jumping down a small flight of stairs in order to imitate how I did it.  Apparently it annoyed him when I skipped the last step and hopped into the kitchen.  But when he did it, he landed on a small throw rug, slipped and slammed into a wall.  I guess a 12 year old skinny girl is more adept at these things than a 40 something, 200 pound drunk ass hole--go figure.
   But I'm over it!!  Not really.  Or I wouldn't be writing about it and getting anxious after seeing lawn chairs.
2. Well that's enough for now.  Hope you enjoyed.
