Do you drink too much?

As ridiculous as it sounds, a doctor told my husband that he was basically an alcoholic. Yep, you read that right. My husband just recently got his CDL license, which in order to utilize, you also have to have a corresponding health card. So, he works on a nearby base, and he went to the dispensary for his physical.

Turns out he failed...because he had blood in his urine which concerns me, but not as much as this doctors accusations. Jeremy is not a drunk. Jeremy is a "social drinker". I can't even tell you the last time he had had a beer before his brothers Christmas party. Anyways, that night, on Dec. 3rd, he had 4 beers...and I will admit that I was irritated. And I am not sure why. I knew he would drink beer. But I guess I hated that he had to have 4 beers. Maybe I felt that was excessive, but I kept it to myself, and moved on.
He went in on December 7th for his physical, and apparently, those beers were still somewhere in his system. When he went yesterday for the results, the doctor accused him of being an alcoholic.
That bothers me. What an assumption! The only addiction Jeremy DOES have is to Mountain Dew.
Doctors just irritate me...and remember...if you have 4 beers over the course of a weekend, and its the first time you have had a drink in months...you are an alcoholic!

Moving on...I havent felt any movement from Lucas and I am excited to start feeling those first kicks. And I was having some anxiety about labor right before I found out that he was a little boy. Now, I seem pretty much calm about it. Which is good. Maybe because in the end, I know that he will be worth it!

I hope your alcoholic husband doesn't teach your son to drink! Maybe you should sign Jeremy up for meetings or something, LOL (sorry Jeremy!)
You poor thing. Labor will suck, but at most it will last for a day. One day is worth it. Anything over 24 hours, and tell them to forget it!
