Hi Angie,

You sound like me. LOL! One thing I learned is that you can't control another

person's behavior, you can only change how you let it affect you. Life is so

much more peaceful that way. And boy do we need less stress. I get stressed and

the pains go right up my back like a knife. The holidays are always a test of

patience. Try just telling yourself that that is the way the person is and

he/she is the one with the problem. Forgive them, and yourself, and let it go.

Tell " " to stay home. LOL!

Just a quick pop in to vent a bit.

Its not even 2 days into this 'holiday weekend' and I am already thinking

about inviting another guest to spend it with us. Only one son is home and I'm

already stressed, irritated, and ready to smack someone.

I sent a " peace " message to my parents; but haven't heard anything from them.

They continue to play games with sending the Christmas eve presents to me but

the girls regular gifts to my son. Of course I'm supposed to get the hint that

they are tighter with my son than I am; but that's BS. It's hard not to get mad

at their games. I sent a peace offering to what? More BS in my life!!

Ok so I'm about five minutes from inviting Cuervo to spend the weekend

with us. I know its a no-no with meds and my health condition but so is stress;

and manslaughter. Fortunately, they are NOT coming for Christmas; although their

gifts will be ever so present. Their gifts - and I don't have any because they

won't help me. I'm right where they want me. My ex hasn't even joined the fun

yet. That's tomorrow morning. UGH!
