Where's everybody at?? Shopping? Hiding in their hole?
 It's lonely in here! Stinkin' Depression is trying to intrude in on my life. It's not even time for "the letdown" yet. Could it be that I'm turning into Scrooge... or worse yet, the Grinch? Can't get motivated to take a shower or to start baking or even go to the grocery store for a few items. I'm so sick of the grocer's strike! I just might cross a picket line today... that is, if I can get motating here... ARGH! What's wrong with me?? Why is it that everything is a hassle?? Why can't the in-laws just let things be?? Where do they come up with the thought that they can tell MY SON that we are spending too much time with him on Christmas Eve and Day?? They live just yards away from their daughter and grandkids every day of the week!!!  GEEZ!!!Not too long ago, I would have been raring to go getting all the fixen's ready! Even if it involved some feelings of antagonism and "one upmanship." (I wouldn't have told anyone how I was feeling, though ) They're stupid, ignorant, low-life, narrow-minded, back-woods @~!#$-#^%$-)^&*(+^%$# !!!! I've had my fill with them!!! IDIOTS!!!! Ahem...  Well? I'm entitled to rant now and then, aren't I? Maybe now that I have my "Prince" up (my maiden name hehe) I'll get moving. Hope someone is on in a bit after I take my shower and go to the grocery story... ( IhopeIhopeIhope!)  Wise men still seek Him.

See how wonderful, brave and strong you are??  I read the article, too, Sweetie. Now I feel bad for my rant, but still feel like I got rid of a load I didn't need. I'm gonna try to lighten up... Love you! Wise men still seek Him.

I hope you feel a bit better hun for getting some of that off your shoulders. I just got home from the bakery with the kids.....sigh.....I am pooped  . I can honestly say that I am sooo tired of looking at sweets, cookies, cakes, loaves, fruit cakes, etc etc etc  . I have to run back down after the baby has his nap....which sounds sooo good right now. Love you sweetie!  Heather

Hi Tomi... I'm here at work trying to catch up so I can leave tomorrow. I'll be out of town for a week or so. I'm not sure I'll have computer access. A very merry if I don't get here before then!

"Where's everybody at?? Shopping? Hiding in their hole? It's lonely in here!"
Probably of all of the above dear Bear. I'm still looking for your hole so I can jump in. I figured it would be the one surrounded by empty pizza boxes? "Stinkin' Depression is trying to intrude in on my life. It's not even time for "the letdown" yet. Could it be that I'm turning into Scrooge... or worse yet, the Grinch?" This could be happening for sure my dear, but I would be remiss in my duties as your friend if I didn't point out that both Scrooge and the Grinch had sickening sweet happy endings... "Can't get motivated to take a shower or to start baking or even go to the grocery store for a few items. I'm so sick of the grocer's strike! I just might cross a picket line today... that is, if I can get motating here... " I have lots of days like these. I'm just useless as, well useless. Mary understands that about me, she knows that somedays just getting out of bed is a major accomplishnent. But she also knows that I'll get up no matter how bad I feel and drag my butt into work everyday too. So she cuts me a lot of slack. You do the best you can Bear. "ARGH! What's wrong with me?? Why is it that everything is a hassle?? Why can't the in-laws just let things be?? Where do they come up with the thought that they can tell MY SON that we are spending too much time with him on Christmas Eve and Day?? They live just yards away from their daughter and grandkids every day of the week!!! GEEZ!!!" Not a damn thing wrong with you that I can see Bear. Everything's a hassle because, one, that's often just how it is, and, two, that's how we allow it to be. We can change that if we like Bear. As far as what the in-laws are saying to your son, if you feel strongly about what's being said to him, then it's incumbant on you to say something to them about it. I'll listen to what my family has to say about how I raise my children as long as they understand that I can take it or leave it. But unless you're abusing or neglecting your child which I know you're not, that's definitely overstepping bounds dear. "Not too long ago, I would have been raring to go getting all the fixen's ready! Even if it involved some feelings of antagonism and "one upmanship." (I wouldn't have told anyone how I was feeling, though ) They're stupid, ignorant, low-life, narrow-minded, back-woods @~!#$-#^%$-)^&*(+^%$# !!!! I've had my fill with them!!! IDIOTS!!!! Ahem... Well? I'm entitled to rant now and then, aren't I?" I'm glad you have a place to come and let off some steam. That really important to good mental health. My wife is my sounding board for stuff like this, and I always feel terrible when it's all over and done with. But she always reminds me that she promised to stick by me thru the good and the bad. I mean she can't be sticking with me for the money, I haven't got any... Well dearest Bear I hope the day shapes up for you and you are able to enjoy at least a bit of it. And if nothing else, you can always sneak away and come visit us .Sending you tons of love and I got your back covered, bp "When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance." |

It is so very quiet. There is almost always someone online, but few postings and few chats.

Here's a hug for you. I hope you can get into the spirit of the season and enjoy it. I never got my kitchen cleaned up or all the baking done that I wanted to either, but people keep bringing us goodies. I feel bad about getting all this stuff and not having much to give to other people. I want to take goodies around too. Maybe by New Year's I'll have it together, but by then everybody will be all sick of goodies. We go through this same thing every year. Tomi, remember that we love you. Try to relax and enjoy the holiday. Anything you didn't get done by now just try not to worry about. Enjoy what is done and concentrate on celebrating the holiday and having some fun. {{{{{{{{{{{{{one more hug for you and everyone else who wants one}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Wendy <font color=green>"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible" Carl Jung</font color=green>

When we're in trouble or feeling bad, isn't "home" where we run to? Home and family! I knew I'd find what I needed here. Thanks!! Is your hole still on a higher level, Sweetie? I don't think I can see the top of your head anymore. Need a hand up? Wise men still seek Him.

HAHAHA! BP... looks like your mind is "fuzzy" too... or has everyone taken on bear characteristics? hehehe That's okay. Some confusion is allowed, especially this time of year.
Your advise was very good mixed with lots of caring, so I'm going to accept it.Yep! It's time I got in my son's in-law's face. Would you believe I'm old enough to be their mother and they think they can lord it over me!! Oops... I forgot that people don't respect their "elders" anymore. Oh, well... that aside, they are still overstepping their bounds.As for "abusing" my child??  He'd be the first to tell me where to get off! He's as strong, stubborn and has the strength of his convictions as his mother! Only difference is that he's "whipped" and I'm not. LOL Nah... in reality, it's that he's trying so hard to make his marriage work, so he tries really hard to make as few waves with his wife as he can.But we are leaving today for his place and we're staying through Christmas Day at the very least. He was making noises like he expects us to stay through the weekend. Like we don't see enough of each other! LOL He only lives 45 minutes away from us! That's my "baby"! However, I've been trying to not rehearse my speech to my son's father-in-law too much. Don't need to obsess, do I?Ahhhh... it will all work out... somehow. Wise men still seek Him.

Right back atcha, Hun, and thanks! I needed that! You're right. I'm not going to worry about the things I don't get done. I baked the pumpkin pies and the mince meat pie last night. Those are the important ones, although hubby wants his Scottish butter tarts. I may get there yet today... Sweetie, I never doubted your love and that of the others. That's why I ranted here. I knew I'd be understood. Hubby always says I think too much and worry too much. Maybe he's right, be he doesn't want to hear any of it! Not even the first time I say anything about what's bothering me. Dang it! Dang it! Dang it! Just got a call from my best friend and she's coming over with her mother who is visiting from Ind. My house is a mess!!!! Gotta go! Dang it!! Wise men still seek Him.

I knew it was too soon to let me out of intensive psychiatrive care... I was thinking about my Bear when I was posting to you. It'll never happen again. Feel free to beat me about the head and shoulders with a wet noodle...
