Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
What if they somehow go through those pictures after I am dead.
What can I say to console you, in between tiny giggles? So sorry. Good/bad story.
Noticing a few posters who don't regularly post on this thread have come by and made it better. Thanks for showing up, I was kinda sad, kinda lonely-good to see you all here.
Maybe we should all just give our sibs a pass for the holidays, let them talk away, and ignore them? Sorry your sibs give you such a bad time.
Last year we were eating our Christmas dinner and I guess my brother-in-law noticed I was quiet. He said "Anything you would like to add?" I just used the time-out signal coaches use at sports games and kept on eating.
Mom is still not feeling well and went to bed at 7 pm after barely eating dinner - she can't seem to shake the bug that started right before thanksgiving
Come to think of it, I was a bit of a brat when I was young. Some things never change I guess. Once a brat, always a brat. :)
Hubs, who assured me he could get to work on time, (by taking the next bus) as I left for a family emergency 20+ miles away....driving back, my car just would not turn right to go home. There in front of me passed the bus at the time dH should have been to work, just ahead, work arrival time was hubs....
he could not call in late...he would not make work for another 15 minutes.
Honking, I pulled over as he headed for the next bus stop bench. Delay in responding....right in front of him now. Handing him our shared cell phone, dialed, he reported in, be right there. It was now 1:30.
Arriving at work, it was now 1:34.
Only 4 minutes late. And saved because he had called in.
I ' know' he cannot get to work on time. Sometimes it is just too frustrating and overwhelming. Today, the 'rescue' was coincidental, and just awesome. I do not know anyone else (sane, that is) who would attempt rescuing like this. Please do not try this at home, anyone. You will never have any kind of a real life.
But I am counting today, all day, as successful.
I know that I would too. How would it be at all possible to give up candy?
December is hubs birthday month, all month, so I am celebrating with a tiny cake from traderjoes. He's not here, and I am not waiting to celebrate. Life is too short.
He will get some cakd, when late tonight, I go out into the cold to pick him up from work.
Must be feeling better, up for the challenge, and looking forward to the next tiny cake I find.
I swear... I'm so scatterbrained lately. Just tired, I think? It's embarrassing. Womp.
