December 20 Christmastime is ComingAs Christmas is almost upon us, I haven't had much time for blogging. My sister is coming to stay a few days with me leading up the the holiday. I'm really hoping that she and I can begin to form a relationship. I've been afraid of her and angry at her for years, but both of us believe that our Mom was the one who tried to keep us at odds. I'm so excited that she's coming down and that we will have some "us" time. I invited my parents down also and they said they are only coming down for a few hours on Christmas. It was okay for Hubby and I to uproot our lives for a week while they went to NYC and we stayed at their house to look after their damn dog, but they won't honor their half of the agreement that they were going to come spend 2 days with us! Apparently, they want to spend Christmas Eve alone (and with their friends) then to spend it with us. I sense that the relationship I have with my Mom is going to be very different soon. She's already lied to me and has said that she would rather spend Christmas Eve with her "friends" than with the family. Looks and appearances were always more important to her. That's one reason I am the way I am. That stuff just doesn't matter to me!
I don't have many friends outside of work so my coworkers are my friends (and extended family). I'm going to be off from work all next week and it saddens me that I won't get to see them. Sounds crazy, I know, but I miss not being here. I LOVE my job AND the guys I work with! Maybe that's one reason I feel like I've found the ideal job. I am so thankful for the things I have, the people I know and the life that I have. Since I didn't send out Christmas cards this year, and a few of my friends actually stop by here and read this, I would just like to say that I'm sincerely grateful for your friendship! Have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!!! |
