TY Shevie :) The funny thing is my dad doesnt smoke and yet he completely understood everything. He didnt judge me or look down upon me as I was always afraid of not being the perfect daughter.
Ok..I am not making sense...*red face* but I am now 'floating' instead of trying to fight it....LOL!
Yes..it is only temp and as soon as it lifts y'all will be the 1st to know :) And watch out...I can do cartwheels on a dime :) *cheesey grin*

TY Casey & Red Rosie :) I felt better after I told my dad the truth as he thought I quit 10 years ago--which I did but only for a week b/c I had a terrible cold. If he asked me, I would not answer the question but change the subject. He said he knew and was only waiting for me to be honest w/ myself.
He asked me how it felt to be human and that is when I started crying. *whispers* Yes, I am a "Daddy's Girl" and I so totally admit it too!! :) It lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders....
*sigh* I really love my dad.... :) He simply rocks :)

I called my dad and spoke w/ him for an hour. I finally broke down and told him I was a smoker all along but have been smoke free for the last 17 days. He said he knew I was a smoker but didnt want to badger me about quitting. I also explained I had tried to quit in March but failed and then I hopped back onto the wagon in the beginning part of April.
Then I explained about the fog I was having. Dad was so very gentle when he explained it all to me...it made sense...he said it was my body's reaction to coping w/ what is going on. He said the brain is being cushioned and cradled b/c nicotine is a greater drug than street drugs. He said this cushioned will slowly subside when the body / brain has 'rested' and is fully healed.
He said TV dinners are there for a reason...use them...he said paper plates are there for a reason...use them....he said if the kids trash the house, then let it stay trashed until they are tired of looking at it....he said my body will heal in its time and not in my time.....
I had one hell of a good cry and when I told him I was sorry for not telling him about me smoking, he said it was ok....he said he was never angry w/ me to begin with....he said I have taken the 1st step...which is having my soul being cleansed.....
The fog is still there but it is because I am healing....so I guess as Shevie said...embrace the fog....I will embrace it like my fav feather pillow....
Is my dad correct?

Hi Grandma!! I did manage to pay the bills this morning before the fog sat in for the day....
*whispers* I had this huge wedgie working and I was out in public...instead of going to the bathroom to pull it out, I reached under my shorts from behind, and pulled the damn thing out. Before I knew what I was doing, the wedgie was free :) Lord only knows who was behind me as my hand went up my shorts *insert wide eyes here* to pull out my drawers. *insert wide eyes here*
