These next 3 wks are gonna kill me.
So I really thought I was doing okay, but as Christmas & New Years Eve get closer, I am feeling so sad and panic-y almost. I've been going to counseling and yes that helps, but sitting here at work and not being very busy (cuz a lot of ppl take off this time o yr), I have nothing much to do but sit here and reflect on my life and how it has not gone according to 'plan'. I am trying SO hard and doing my best to stay positive for DS and keep a smile on my face, but I am fighting back tears every second lately. My divorce is underway and I am hoping soon after the new year it will all be finalized, and maybe that is another reason why I am feeling so down lately. Getting through these next few wks is going to be so hard.. I so wish I could hit the fast forward button and be done with it. Not only that, but I have been lonely in my marriage for SO long, that I am feeling extremely lonely as well. Are there any good websites you could recommend, since I have nothing to do but sit here and wallow in sorrow? Thanks.. sorry for the sad vent on a Wed morning.. 
Re: These next 3 wks are gonna kill me.
I feel ya on this. Another NJ girl fighting back tears at her desk. No, hell, who am I kidding, I'm sitting here crying because I'm alone in the office!
What about cutethingsfallingasleep.com and damnyouautocorrect.com for some "aww" and so funny you want to pee your pants moments? ((hugs))

YWIA.

Lots of hugs! I have days like this.
Here are blogs I read to feel better:

I have just come to accept that life cannot always be perfect. Sometimes life will not be what we want for ourselves at all and will just miss the mark completely. But life is a process and we just have to keep showing up and know everything is perfectly okay the way it is, even if it's not, at the moment, the best version of our life.
Pinterest is a good time suck.
Sorry that you are struggling. I know it is tough and I have been there. One day at a time, one step at a time!

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time! I can't tell you how many times I cried my eyes out at work...thank goodness I had an office with a door!
Hang in there because it will get better. Try to do some fun holiday things with friends or family to distract yourself.
I know it's hard. I'm on the same page as you. What's getting me thru it is knowing that if my STBXH was around we would be fighting non-stop so I'd prefer to be alone with my family for the holidays.

It's hilarious and awesome!
ETA- Looks like I can't link her blog but do a google search for The Bloggess.

I feel your pain. Sharing my son for the holidays and being, obviously, excluded from the family I had come to know is going to be rough. And of course knowing I have been replaced by another woman...The only way I plan to get through it is with anxiety meds and trying to keep busy with family. Hugs!
