    I confess I have two of the best friends. They bought me a plane ticket home to see my mom for her birthday next month. I am going to surprise her. My mom has cancer and has been given 3-6 months to live in November. I can't stop crying at work.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. That's great of your friends. Sending big hugs!! :flowerforyou:

    I confess that the last few days have been good and bad. I drove the kids to their father's house. 24 hours of driving, plus a trip to the child support office within 30 hours. But, the kids were happy to see him and I was able to get the paperwork done in person, so that was a bonus.

    The new man was supposed to leave for his parents' yesterday, but delayed his trip until this morning so we could have a little time together before Christmas. While I was still on the road, he asked me to come to his house instead of mine. It ended up being a really nice day of getting to know each other. We ran a few errands, he showed me some things for the motorcycle (we talked about taking rides next summer), made dinner together and even played a few rounds of pool together last night. He brought me to his local shops, holding my hand and introducing me as his girlfriend. :) I also gave him his Christmas present since he's gone now. He loved it and said it was perfect. So, all is good so far. :)

    I confess that I'm probably going to put on a few pounds over the next couple of days.


    And I'm not even that upset about it.

    I confess that my work is doing this thing called "You just got elfed" .. where someone leaves a package at your door with a sign taped to it saying that you got elfed. Then you have to go out and get *kitten* for 2 people and elf them. My first thought when I saw it .. oh Jesus****ingChrist.

    My divorce has killed Christmas for me. And every other holiday. I used to love them all. I have decorations for every single holiday. I would replace all of my home decor with holiday stuff .. everything. Holidays were always such a family thing for me and he destroyed that. I don't even enjoy them anymore. I did nothing for Halloween. Nothing for Thanksgiving. I have my tree up and stockings up .. nothing else. I have three bins of Christmas decorations in my basement. I did nothing. It's kind of sad actually.

    I'm just catching up.... I feel the same way on holidays! In fact we didn't even put up the big tree this year just small trees in the kids' rooms. I blamed it on the cat but really I just wasn't in the spirit.

    The max allowed off at one time per team is 2 but since we have all switched teams that 6 out of the 10 were off. Chirstmas eve is not a bank holiday so I had to work. Oh and I am at work today too.

    I agree... but, the first year after my divorce I didn't put up a tree using the excuse that we were in a new apartment and that they were going to their dad's anyway. Well, my little munchkins dug out a small tree while I was sleeping one morning and said that I "had" to have a tree even if they weren't going to be there. I learned my lesson and we've had our tree up since, even though they aren't in town anyway. Little monsters... ;)

    I confess I can't wait for New Years Eve because I get to wear the outfit I had planned for the formal Christmas event but couldn't go because I had the flu. I have been pinning way to many hair and makeup ideas on pintrest.
