I can so relate. *hugs* it's a tough Christmas for a lot of people this year. You're not alone. I'm just crawling out from under a rock for a while to look around. How the good news keeps out weighing the bad!
Yes Jamie I am so sleep with one eye open brother dearest
Ah, Christmas is OVER!!!!!!! I am ungrounded from SS!!! It really was for the best. I was in a rotten mood...course, none of y'all could tell, right?
We actually had a very good one all said and done. We had great company, both friends and family, had a great dinner. DD got everything she asked for for the first time in several years(thank GOD for that!) and DH and I got some nice gifts as well. One VERY nice gift was a job right before Christmas that was a TREMENDOUS help, it got the bills caught up until January Then we got a little Christmas money as well. One in particular we weren't expecting, just came today, and is a very nice blessing. Money is always nice, but some days I just sit back and look at all the friends and family we have, and I'd not trade a single one of them for all the money or financial security in the world
I hope every person that's eyes settle on reading this post had a great holiday as well.
Barred Buff, I hope you had a great one little brother. Sometimes, even when we know God is there, and has his hand over everything, we still get frustrated and angry...and don't want to hear all the typical cliches about the situation as it pertains to God. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. You just need to realize, it's okay to get mad and upset at things and not want to pretend like you're perfectly okay with whatever the situation may be when you're hurting. All that emotion has to go somewhere and it's better to get it out than hold it in and splode!!
Thanks to all of you for letting me run my mouth and get it off my chest. That in itself is a blessing, this place is a blessing I love you tiny little folks in my computer screen
Gee, WBF, are you talkin to me? Sound exactly like our holiday too. Thankfully the bf for sick (that Sounds sooo bad to say that....) which means we got out of all the obligations to go to both sides of his family except his moms house for a little bit yesterday. This was an especially reclusive holiday!
Glad yours turned out good!
I LIKE reclusive holidays! We got most of ours out of the way Christmas Eve, let the kids open EVERYTHING that day, and went to his mothers for a couple hours Christmas day...albeit reluctantly, but we went. This was actually the first Christmas I can remember where we ALL wanted to stay home and nobody was sick!
It has helped I am more cheerful! Kinda back to my old self, I hate when I get like that :/ Everything was just so frustrating hoping we were gonna stay out of the hole just to trip and fall into a different hole as soon as the thought crossed my mind It's just life, but I get so tired sometimes.
