After Christmas blllllaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs

I got it bad...anyone else feeling kinda blue today??? All this preparation, craziness, cooking...etc. for ONE day and *BAM* it's all over. Kinda like a firecracker lol, loooooong fuse...then *poof* it's gone. Got to spend Christmas with both Martin's mom and my mom which was wonderful! Mom felt like getting out of the nursing facility to go up to the cabin my sister and family had rented both Christmas Eve and Christmas day which was wonderful. It tears me apart to see my mom who was once so vibrant and full of life be reduced to a wheelchair and 24 hour oxygen. She was so worn out both evenings, but she was a trooper and stuck it out. I think she had a good time and Santa Clause was very good to her. Martin's mom went with us to the cabin as well, I think it did her good to be away from her house and with a "lively" bunch of people (as Felicia and Kellee can vouch that my family is "lively" to say the least ) with this being her first Christmas without her husband. I guess I am just feeling melancholy today, the previous weeks have been so busy crazy there has been no time to really sit and think. Well, now I do and I HATE it!! I guess I'll start working out in our training room...or just go home and raid the fridge for leftovers lol. Who knows??? But I have the most wonderful husband in the world who loves me unconditionally (why I don't know but thank God for him) and these blues shall pass...they always do. Hope all had a wonderful Christmas and is doing good today!

yes.. I'm feeling mortal.. melancholy.. I see my mom/dad aging.. and know that their will come a time that they will not be at a christmas and I don't wanna think about that.. but have! Then I think.. maybe I won't make a christmas.. no one knows for sure, but I don't want that for my mom/dad either. Then I think.. I'm 46 and never had a kid.. what did I miss out onthen I think.. I'm where I'm suppose to be so just be thankful!! but yes Wanette.. I've felt that way all day.. even teared up on my ride into work today thinking of my beloved mom.. who worked so hard yesterday (and days before that) getting christmas together for all of us.. I sure hope the day after New Year is not as blue..

(((HUGS))) None of us are promised tomorrow and I guess the Good Lord makes us to endure alot more then we ever thought we could. Hope the hug helped!! I think it's just WORK that makes us get all blue and stuff...I think they should give at least 3 days before and 3 days after (not including weekends) to get ready for, and recover from Christmas...what d'ya think???

((((((HUGS)))))) to you too.. it's contagious.. and yes time off work would be what the doctor would order.. time off with thriftstore shoppin

*perk* time off work?!? I'll take s'more of that please I SUPPOSE I can make it to this weekend

I've not taken hardly any days off work this year I even got to roll over 1 and 1/2 personal/floater days that the boss didn't want me taking last minute this year. I need to plan a vaca for upcoming year.. somewhere beautiful.. and relaxing.. and stressfree I wish I had a yacht..
