confession session & good thoughts tuesday
Re: confession session & good thoughts tuesday
Good Thoughts: to all who need them - health, wealth, whatever you ladies all need. Special good thoughts to those with sick loved ones and recently lost loved ones - big hugs to you ladies.
Confession: booked our trip to MN and I'm already dreading it ;-) Oh well, I will survive. ;-)
Confession: I am so behind on crocheted gifts b/c when Maddy wakes and cries I can't concentrate on anything, I have panic and asthma attacks and can't function. UGH. Working on packing lists today and then I'll be back at it this afternoon and tonight. I will be frantically crocheting in the car ride to RI and probably Thursday night into Friday - ack!

good thoughts & *hugs* to all my RI girls
confession: it's only one dinner but i am dreading spending time with my SILs next week. i think it's kind of sh*tty that my SIL & BIL essentially refused to go to the restaurant that DH, SIL, and i really wanted to go to. but they suck and i know this so it's not a surprise at all.
confession: it is going to be really weird to not be in MA for christmas but i'm excited to celebrate the holidays just us.
Good Thoughts: to all who need them
Good Thoughts: to my aunt, that her last days (however many that may be) are pain-free, surrounded by her loved ones. May her passing be easy, and may she be at peace. I love my godmother.
Confession: I still have to wrap all my gifts, but at least my Christmas cards are done!!
Confession: I am going to miss being SSSK.
Good thoughts to Alicia and her family during this tough time, to Corry that she's holding up okay, to Norah and Sarah, Jana, everyone looking for a job or having tough times financially and health wise, and all who need them!
Confession: Alicia, you will always be my SSSK. But I will miss it too!!
Confession: I too have gifts to wrap, and buy, and make...ACK!
Confession: I really wasn't into the holiday at all until SSSK snapped me out of it!
Confession: i was keeping my sh*t together until i read pam's post...
Confession: i have all of my gifts to wrap, the only thing that is done is stockings! and delanie refuses to go in her room so i can't do them during the day! ahhhhh
Good thoughts: to all our nesties going through tough times right now! too many babies sick for xmas, hopefully they will rebound before santa's arrival!! and a special good thought to all the nesties who will be missing someone special on xmas - whether its the 1st or 10th, i cannot imagine it gets any easier!
OMG Corry I'm sorry!!!
Good thoughts to everyone that needs them.
Confession: I feel like I am about to break. I am exhausted, DH just got back from a trip and I feel like I can't catch up. I just feel like I could burst into tears any minute when I think about all of the things that I need to do. Then I feel bad thinking that way b/c I know at least half of the ladies here have so much to do too. I'm not in the Christmas spirit anymore, but I am excited for Anabel to open her gifts. I just don't have it in me anymore.
Confession: DH got us a hotel room for Thursday night b/c we have a party to go to and my MIL will be over to watch DD for us, but I can not get excited for it. I have too much to do and trying to get it done tonight and tomorrow freaks me out. I feel bad for him b/c he is trying to do something nice for me and to help me relax but it is just stressing me out more.
Confession: I usually really like my boss and get along well with him. Today, however, I kinda hate him. UGH.
Confession: I found out today that an engineer I used to work with passed away, and I said to my co-worker, "Not to speak ill of the dead, but I hated that man." Now I feel a little guilty about that.
Good Thoughts: To the family of that engineer as they spend their first holiday season without him. To all my nesties, that you have a wonderful and joyous holiday season!
confession: josh just found out that the work retreat he is supposed to attend starts on his birthday. in new york. i hadn't planned anything major yet but he is telling them i've made non-changeable, non-refundable plans and that he cannot get to NYC until the 2nd day of the retreat. and i don't feel even remotely guilty about this because while i do think ppfa does great things, he does not get paid nearly enough to justify traveling for work on his b-day. especially as his first raise in three years barely qualified as a cost-of-living increase for one year.
