Christmas is over!
To all my friends on here I am sorry I have been absent so long. I did try to get on once or twice, but nothing would post.
I am grateful for a low key Christmas and that it is over for another year. SO much work and stress and worry about who is coming and who is clashing with who.
No one will be here next year. Youngest found a job and will be moving out sometime in the next 6 months. He was very cruel at dinner one night. Looked up and said I just had a thought that you will have to come down the stairs next year to no one here on Christmas morning. You are going to cry.
I bought a new tree and new decorations and told my husband we have to have new traditions. No more sitting around pretending the kids are still 3 and me feeling sad. Of course I am ruining Christmas for him taking away all his traditions, but told him it is that or no tree and no Christmas as I will just sit and feel sad missing all the times the kids were helping with the tree, cookies, Christmas movie watching...so he said ok.
Don't know that it will help, but I have to try something.
