its christmas eve...and hoho NOT accepted????am NOT impressed
5:44 am
MollyL
Enable should be ashamed of itself.
5:44 am
carleekat
it SHOULD!!!! ugh...i watch the little videos from norad tracking santa and i start to cry...i am such a sap
5:45 am
MollyL
No, you are just a kid at heart. Nothing sappy about that. Merry Christmas Eve Carlee.
5:45 am
Angelsong
hello,and happy holidays/Merry Christmas!
5:45 am
carleekat
yea..merry christmas eve molls... i am just waiting for stores to open...I finally get to shop
5:46 am
MollyL
Merry Christmas to you and your family Angel. Carlee, hope your shopping trip is merry.
5:47 am
carleekat
( its not a good xmas here but i am trying very hard to make the best of it..baking later today and spending the day with my boss and her family...so now i have to buy pressies for her kids...)
5:48 am
MollyL
I was on the verge of grumpy yesterday, in line for at the grocery store. And then I noticed this woman and her Mother in front of me. They were having the best fun just shopping and being together. Their spirit was infectious and I told "grumpy" to get lost.
5:48 am
carleekat
i know what i willget the daughter....its the 10 year old boy....all he does is video games... and i havent got a clue what system he runs or what he has... so am opting for lego
5:48 am
MollyL
I think Lego is an excellent choice.
5:49 am
carleekat
its just losing my dad this year..and now dxh just took the kids to mexico....about an hour ago they left and dont get back into detroit until dec 31 at 10 pm
5:50 am
MollyL
Why am I not surprised to hear that that heartless man took your kids away at Christmas. I'm glad you have made plans and that you will be spending Christmas with a friend.
5:52 am
carleekat
so..its me and the dog... i will get my reading done for english i suppose...i might even get ahead in my reading... just m akes u feel very small and worthless ( i KNOW i am not... no worries...my head knows better..but right now my heart is winning the debate...)
5:53 am
MollyL
You are NOT small and worthless. If anyone is worthless, it is a man who takes a mother's kids away at Christmas. Mexico is there all other 51 weeks of the year. And I am sure you will have a nice celebration with your kids when they get back.
5:54 am
carleekat
nope...wont have time...back to school and back to work..back to my crazy ass schedule until may
5:55 am
MollyL
It pisses me off that he claims to have no money to pay you alimony, but has the bucks to traipse off to Mexico for Christmas.
5:56 am
carleekat
yeaap... i know...i am just trying to put myself in the frame of mind...the kids are having a great time..christmas is for kids... and... leave it at that
5:56 am
MollyL
It was cruel of him to take them away the one small bit of time that you had to spend with them. He will reap what he is sowing.
5:56 am
carleekat
i am passed the anger ( that happened 20 before my first exam)
5:57 am
carleekat
( that is when he dropped the bomb on me..that was mortifying walkinginto my first exam crying)
5:57 am
MollyL
Taking the higher ground is always the way to go Carlee. I'm sorry he's still being the world's biggest douche bag.
5:58 am
carleekat
its to be expected..its why i am busting my a$$ with school so i can be RID of him.... i wont need him..i will be able to afford to do things for my kids..etc
5:59 am
MollyL
Someone like him, who takes delight in making other people miserable, well he is a walking, talking Grinch.
6:00 am
carleekat
yes he is... and i am also looking ( trying to ) at this as reaffirmation that i have made the right decision by being rid of him...
6:02 am
MollyL
It's sad that all he's done since you made this decision is to try and punish you for it. How miserable it must be, to be him. Be glad you are you and continue to make the best of things. Sending you a big Christmas (((HUG)))
6:04 am
carleekat
thanks molls {hugs} and really..i am ok... i just have moments.. but honestly most of the time i am so happy...as in 95% of the time...I think its jsut that i spent so many years sooo incredibly down....now that i am mostly up...the down feels 100x more brutal than just existing down there
6:06 am
carleekat
man..i hope i am not manic... no..im not....this will last until i get outside and get shopping... and i will be fine...
6:06 am
MollyL
And it's okay to have some sad moments about missing your kids at Christmas. Just try not to get stuck there. All of your feelings are real and justified and as long as you can accept them and move through them you will be fine.
6:07 am
carleekat
i rarely get "stuck" now... it takes up too much energy being sad... and i really dont have much to spare with my schedule...
6:08 am
carleekat
i feel 10x more tired when i am sad... i just cant do that
6:08 am
carleekat
so what are your plans molls..i am been moaning away here ( notice... i didnt say whinging :p )
6:08 am
MollyL
There you go, that is the way to do it. "Merry" is an attitude. It only requires your participation. And yes, sad takes up way too much energy.
6:09 am
MollyL
Small family gathering here tomorrow. We keep Christmas simple. A gift exchange and a nice roast beast dinner. That is the way we all like it.
6:11 am

that's nice of you to cook, carlee. I also am a useless twit in the kitchen :)
6:13 am
carleekat
her family is completely dysfunctional...2 recovered alcoholic parents... and her 2nd ex husband who is a psychiatrist ( which in itself should tell you how f'd up he is)...so i am going to "balance" the day <facepalm>

6:16 am
debjed
my right hand and arm are numb, makes it hard to type
6:16 am
carleekat
why numb?
6:17 am
MollyL
Sounds like you have a fun day planned Carlee. I hope you have fun.
6:18 am
carleekat
well..entertaining...and a diversion... i would prefer yours but...one day i might be able to have nice and calm :)
6:18 am
debjed
often when I wake up it's tingly and hurts.. I guess numb might be the wrong word. Sometime it's both arms and it can last an hour or so. I wouldn't think I sleep funny on it as often as it happens and I don't know why it lasts so long . It hurts all the way up to my elbow
6:19 am
MollyL
All the crazymakers in my life are gone Carlee. One day, yours will be too. Look forward to that.
6:19 am
carleekat
i used to get that... do you do any heavy lifting during the day?
6:20 am
MollyL
Deb, do you know if you clench your hands when you sleep?
6:20 am
carleekat
hmmm.... i used to get that cus i was doing so much repetitive lifting and i would wake up with both hands "numb" and tingling...would wake me up from sleep hurtso much...am not doing that now..and i havent had it for some time
6:20 am
debjed
I don't think so.....
6:20 am
debjed
yeah, it wakes me up sometimes too
6:21 am
debjed
just getting older and falling apart :)
6:21 am
MollyL
The reason I asked is because I know someone who has the same thing going on and she is now sleeping with wrist braces on to keep from clenching.
6:22 am
debjed
good idea.. I have one wrist brace. I will try it for awhile.
6:24 am
debjed
clue for the n, please?
6:25 am
carleekat
ok...well..stre 1 that i must hit is open in 30 mins.i best fluff my duff...don my steel toed boots and elbow pads and make the best of it whilst i can...will pop on later but if i dont see y'all Merry Christmas!!!!

As I pulled into my mother's driveway, my mom's qu6/27 house was decorated to the hi4/5. I thought it was a ho 4/5 since my mother used to think bright Christmas lights were tacky and hu 4/6 people's eyes Now she spends huge amounts of mo 5/12 and spends several ho 4/6s decorating. She decorates the ro4/7 and every ro 4/5. Not one area of the house is to4/5 of decorations. I wish that people could take a to4/5 of my mom's house to see all of her decorations.
