I Don't Want To Go Home For Christmas Next Week
I'm in a bad mood and I'm also depressed so I'm just venting here so you can skip this post if you want to. Thanksgiving was awful this year because my mom was in a facility and my dad and mom usually furnished the turkey and ham for the family meal that we have with daddy's side of the family. Well someone dropped the ball and we didn't have a "real" turkey it was like lunch meat type turkey and I don't eat pork so that got the ball rolling downhill for me.
Then we didn't draw names because of the economy and that has me depressed because I talked to one of my sisters today and she's been shopping all yr. and has little gifts for everyone. I can't even get my kids Christmas gifts so I certainly can't get 4 siblings, nieces and nephews and mom and dad anything. So then I felt like a loser. My hubby will be off of work for 2 weeks due to a work slow down, he works in the automotive industry. I get paid on Christmas Eve and will try to get my son a cell phone and my daughter an upgraded cell phone for Christmas. My son's 16th birthday will be on the 23rd and of course I have nothing for him. I'm mad at myself for poor planning but it's hard to plan with a disability check and only able to work part time.
Then my kids are getting on my nerves because my daughter who is a senior, thinks she is grown and is about to get a beat down and has never had to be spanked and my son just needs to be knocked down every now and then. Don't get me started on the hubby.
Okay, I've vented, I've had a pity party and I'm not bummed about gifts it's really about not being able to catch up on my bills and get ahead and I know I'm not alone. I don't want to be around people and it's sad being around my mom, who isn't my mom any more due to alzheimers. Thanks for reading, if you read.

WHOOSAAHH!
Take a deep breath. Now the adults will want your presence, sometimes thats the best gift you can give. The kids might not understand the realities of the economy, but when they grow up they will.
Have you thought of small handmade giftts, batches of cookies, making bookmarks for the readers in the family?

The greatest gifts are MEMORIES.....talk about old times as kids....braid each other hair.....I never had Christmas as a child so we always just kicked it ~still do if I was at home~ never exchanging gifts or anything....but we crack up about our childhood ~aw, getting homesick~
Don't mention the kids ~whoosah~ I have no GOOD or LEGAL advice LOL
Put on that black dress again....hubby will be at your service
