Hi -

So great seeing a post from you. I had thought you fled the

earth because of the upcoming gathering...thought maybe

the idea of flying got the best of you and you came up

missing.

People are asking about the 2008 Gathering. Any news?

Any ideas? I am putting some of this on you...no pressure

of course!

Love and Hugs to you, your children and Danny!!

After Christmas blues...

Is anyone else having those or is it just me? All of my planning and good

(what I thought

were good) ideas just didn't work out for me yesterday and I'm finding it

hard to keep my

eyes dry and my chin from wobbling today. Grandma and I did nothing but

fight yesterday

morning as I tried for the 8th day in a row to get her to brush her teeth

to

no avail, my breaks

started making a horrid scraping sound on my way to my parents house, what

I

thought was

a thoughtful gift to my step-dad of a letter campaign to raise funds to

donate to a research

organization for the cancer he has made him cry instead of making him

happy,

after planning

the big family christmas gathering around grandma she insisted on leaving

10

minutes after

we got there so I didn't get to visit with anyone (it was too far away to

go

back after taking

her home), when I got home my puppy had pooped all over the floor from the

stress of being

left alone so much for long periods over the last few days, and then she

growled at me when

I tried to pick her up to take her to bed. I had such big expectations and

now I feel so let

down! I keep going back and forth between feeling like I should just lower

my standards to

keep from getting let down and thinking that isn't fair and I shouldn't

have

to do it. And the

phrase " Shit happens " keeps popping up in my head and making me angry. It

seems to

happen to me in a very literal way far too often for my liking.

Maybe I just needed to whine a little...thanks for listening (or reading

as

the case may be!).
