I'm home

Well I'm home from NY!!!! It was a whirlwind and I loved seeing my family..... I truly believe my expectations were grand and as my sister used to say...."you're Cinderella you believe in the good of everyone" We only had 4 days and tried our best to fit quality time with everyone in and were doing well. But not everyone was to be happy.....let's just say my mom was not pleased and acted out at every turn. Nothing I did was right and I really should know better. I hate the word "should" since it implies regret.....why did I even try....because I'm Cinderella! It was great to see my brother and nieces and my DH's family! My nieces are my joy in life and really mean the entire world to me!!!!! Everyone but my mom was so happy to see us and spend whatever time they could with us. I could have spent the whole trip with her and it wouldn't of been enough....... I will not let her ruin the trip and the memories of it!!!!!! The flight back was so turbulent that my stomach hasn't settled yet and I had less than 4 hours sleep and straight to work for 12 hours....I'm exhausted. Oh and hubby and I haven't even opened our presents yet....I do know what one of mine is though. We did little presents in NY. More after the New Year when I've had time to unpack and sleep a bit..

I am grateful for my brother and his strength and sense of calm and humor!

Merry Christmas

I just want to start by saying thanks to Jymisgurl ,Jamie ,Karen ,Duncan and Vonna for all of their kind words of support about my last post about my friendship troubles. I'm tired and past it and it seems she won't see any side but her own . I've decided to do nothing till after the holidays when I've had some rest and perspective. Even then I'm not sure it can be mended or that I want to mend it...too much hurt has happened already and the trust is gone and I'm just plain angry. It's sad really when you think about it. But enough of that!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!! The good news is that DH is completely well!!! It was a reaction to the new medicine which happens in like 1-2% of the population....I always knew he was special... So we are going to NY. It'll be a whirlwind but I am so looking forward to it. I miss my family and am so looking forward to seeing them! I am packing and wrapping a few presents that stay here today. Then work tomorrow and I've already put in to get out early if at all possible. And to the airport....I'm still hoping to see Santa from the plane window....yes I do believe!!! So this may be the last post till I get home on friday night unless I can sneak one in but that's doubtful....and DH still won't say what wednesday night in the city surprise is.....I'm not great at surprises never was...must be a childhood thing. Again everyone have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and may Santa fulfill all of your dreams!!!!

I am grateful that hubby feels so much better!
