Mandy, that is hilarious! I'm glad you got a good laugh out of it.
I'm lucky to have a hubby who is an AMAZING gift giver. He thinks of things that I haven't even thought of that I end up loving--like the heated blanket he got me this year. He knows how I get cold easily and that I love to snuggle up and get warm. It really was perfect! He also got me a book by one of my favorite authors and my favorite chocolates. And for the past two Christmases since my grandfather passed away, he's given me a really nice set of preserves. I've always loved different and unique flavors and my grandfather used to give me a set every Christmas. Brendon knows how much I miss him so that is definitely a really thoughtful and caring gift that always brings tears to my eyes. And my birthday is in a few weeks, so I can't wait to see what he thinks up for that!

Not too worry, I always enjoy the time with my son. He makes everyday so special. I do try to concentrate on making his holiday a great one, so most of the time...most don't have any idea how miserable I was on the inside. I just don't want my son to have the same feelings for Christmas that I do. Isn't is strange how we carry so much from our childhood?
Life is still good...it is what you make it.

Oh Janet, I'm so sorry. I had a super miserable Christmas too
 everyone I am close to was out of town, including the guy I have started dating. It was supposed to be our first Christmas together, we had so much planned, and I had to stay here for work while he went on to Florida...his home town is Orlando. So he and my best friend went together and I had to stay behind. everyone, including both of my kids, was gone. I was completely alone for the first time in my life...and I just wanted to die. I think I cried more in the last week than I have in my whole life. I ended up running over something that punctured my gas tank on Christmas eve, so my car was broke down the whole weekend, bill collectors calling me non stop, and I missed a once a year chance to talk to my mother on the phone (LONG story). So I was miserable. Maybe we should make plans to start spending Christmas together so we can make sure we both have a good time  oh...and the day you do get the courage to tell your husband to STICK IT..please let me know! I finally did it and I can tell you that even tho my financial situation has TOTALLY SUCKED....it was the best move of my life and deep down, I have never been happier. It really was the right thing for me to do...and I think he feels the same way. I shouldn't encourage divorce, because I know that it should be the VERY last resort...but once you reach that point, you have to do what is best for YOU and your babies.....sounds like you are pretty much there from what I have read here in the past. I wish you the best hun!!!!! I'm here if you ever need to talk!

Mandee, I read your ordeal on YT and you poor thing!! My heart really goes out to you girl. You do know it's going to get better...right?
Sweetie I've been ready for years...just didn't want to start over at 53 and lose half of everything I've worked for. I just don't have the energy. I'm hoping once I get him moved into his own room, things might improve a bit. I just have to wait for the weather to warm up just a tad so the DSL cable guy can come move the cable from the computer room (where I'm moving hubby) to my room. Aslo....glad you made it back here....now stay...okay???

Janet, Sorry about your christmas. I knew you didn't like it.
Mine was ok. Emily and her bunch gave me one of those new dust busting sweepers, socks and odds and ends. Dustin gave me a DVD Jennifer gave me Barn w/snowman pic. Hubby gave me gloves, socks and pjs. So i got everything that I asked for and more. We got to watch grandson open gifts. He's really into trains now. So it wasn't to bad.
