Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[Momto2Ks]

Having a crappy day. My best friend in the entire world is moving 3 provinces away. They left this morning to start the journey. Part of me is incredibly happy for her as it puts her closer to her family and her husbands family, but the selfish part of me is incredibly sad. We have been friends for over 20 years. She is the person that always "just knows" without a huge explanation.

I got incredibly frustrated last night at her going away party because all these people that have known her for around a year were all upset and whiny and didn't seem to realize there was anyone but themselves there. Why this bothered me I don't know. Everyone is entitled to their own grief and has their own way of coping and I know that, but it irritated me beyond belief that they felt their feelings were more important. Meanwhile every time I think about the situation I end up sobbing and crying.

I have absolutely NO Christmas spirit this year. I am usually the person who has the entire house decked out by December 1st- this year I really can't find the energy to care. My husband is currently putting the tree up because I told him I didn't want a tree or anything else to do with Christmas. I want to be a good mom and do all the fun stuff with my girls but for some reason I just can't get there. I honestly just want to close my eyes and wake up on January 2nd.

Christmas has just become a commercialized frenzy over who can buy what and for who. My mother in law is driving me batty counting the minutes we plan to spend with each family and can't understand why I want to drive 5 hours to see my sister and her kids (one of which was born this year and I have seen for less then 1 hr). All in all I am just done with Christmas and everything about it

Rant over. Thanks for letting me vent.

Big hugs going your way. We are all here if you need us.

I stole this from my friends facebook page. It is her status

"Be the light. Be the love. Tell your friends and family you love them. Smile at a stranger. The world needs all the positive energy it can get today"
