For the first time in more years than I can remember, I have been getting excited about the coming season, even with the wondering... Just shoved it aside, and went on with my preperations. My daughter and family are coming home, I've even started writing cards.( I haven't done that in a lonnngggg time)
I've been cleaning, tidying, etc. Even thinking about baking, and having a good ole 'old fashioned ' Christmas. I have plenty of time for a change, and want to make it perfect... There were some little things that I wanted help with...asked my A, it was put off, again.., sooo, I got what I call "the little red hen syndrome" and decided to do it myself. Well... A comes in and says I didn't do it right, why didn't I wait for him to help??? Yeah right! Been there, done that , again..
Christmas has been a very hard time for me to get through since I lost most of my family in the 80's. This year has been the first that I've really gotten the Holiday Spirit.
Anyway... I was compfortably settled on my pitty pot after he said that, crockidile tears and all.. then, (I think HP had a hand in this), the dreadful thought jumped at me that, "Would I rather be with my ex?" God NO!! That made me feel sooo much better and made me appreciate what I have now! I'd rather have an "A" any day!! Thank-you HP!!!! :) Love, TLC

After A husband cut the lights off the real tree last year I decided we were going to buy a fake prelit this year. While he was working yesterday a friend and I put it up and as I type its now lit in the living room. Im burning a Yankee Candle to get the tree scent.
Ive started decorating the house, shopping for presents.
Im no longer waiting for A husband to help out.
Enjoy your Christmas season. This afternoon Advent begins at Church (where I attend alone too).
