I decided to put up our Christmas tree early this year, we are going home to spend Christmas with my family so I want to make sure the kids have time to enjoy all the decorations at home. We went out shopping and I let the kids help me pick out new ornaments ( they were very excited ), thought is would be a good idea for a fresh start..we had the most beautiful tree ever.

Tonight we were eating dinner, when we heard a huge CRASH...the tree fell over...all our new ornaments smashed into a million pieces......ARGGGGGGGG.............

I am starting to wonder if I did something really, really, bad in a past life..

awwwwwww....well the lopsided tree just fell over and it was just one more exasperating moment for you to deal with to strengthen your character! Yeah....that's it! Time to get out the construction paper and paste and make those multi-colored chains for the tree.
Really...I'm so sorry that happened!

I don't know if you can do this. Try to see the humor in it. Think about that movie A Christmas Story and pretend it was one of the funny disasters that happened in that movie. Tell the story over and over with embellishments and laugh your butts off. Compete to see who can tell the story best. Then get (make?) all unbreakable ornaments to replace them and do something about that tree stand.

Thriver.., I have to see the humor in it, my life has been so crazy -I swear for the past year I hear Circus music playing every where I go :) I love the movie A Christmas Story...maybe I will make my kids dress up in pink bunny suits to re-decorate the tree!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
