Norman Rockwell Christmas !?!

[Guest guest]

My expectations always bite me in the ass. My almost parents in law

gave me an omlet maker for Christmas. I was too sick to go to the

Christmas Day festivities, Thank God. I threw it. I went balistic

over the omlet maker. They are millionares and they gave me an omlet

maker... the $8.00 one from Wal Mart. I am so sick, I hurt all over, I

do what I can to help their son, my boyfriend, raise their grandaugher

and I got an omlet maker. Do I sound spoiled? I really am not. I had

parents who worked so hard all their lives and Christmas was such a

special time and the gifts, though modest, were plenty and heartfelt.

I feel so sorry for myself tonight. The kids have moved away, they are

struggling making a life for themselves, and I am alone with these

pompous egocentric people. Gez, I guess if I read this when I feel

better I will be ashamed but I have to write this down or I will

explode. Anyway, time for my meds and my bed. I hope all stay safe

this Christmas and are happy and do not hurt as bad as I do. I think

my heart hurts and I feel so alone.

Judi, I will admit that was very cheap of them. I mean come on. Of course I

don't know them but they are probably pompass asses. Not all rich people are

that way, but some of them just think their sh_t does not stink.

Are they nice to you otherwise? Are they snooty to you? It seems they could

have given you something a little more sentimental anyway. It basically says to

me " Go and cook " .... LOL.

I am sorry you feel so alone right now. How old are your children?

Well, I am just a middle classes working mom. My kids did not get alot this

year but they seemed very happy with what they got. So that is what counts to

me. My little boy is thrilled with cars and trucks and can't ever get enough of

them.... that is easy. LOL. The smile on his face is priceless at the cheap

little cars he gets. My daughter's most expensive gift came from her father.

She got a nintendo DS game system. (of course he can't manage to pay child

support, but he does give her all the " fun " stuff)... go figure.

As for pain, yep I have had it today. The last two days the fibro beast came

back with a vengeance after several days that were almost good. My knees hurt

the worst. It is all around the knees. I just took my third hydrocodone 10mg

today and a prescription strength Naproxen. It is letting up a little.

Well, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you honey. And we all have the

right to feel sorry for ourselves sometimes. If we don't, no one else will.

And feeling sorry for ourselves is not totally unhealthy. It makes us slow down

and try to take care of ourselves.

Oh Judi, I'm so sorry you're feeling so alone. That gift does kind of seem

like a slap in the face from your boyfriend's parents. I wish I could jump

through your monitor, across the wires, to give you a big, gentle hug. Hope

you got some good sleep last night. Take care.
