Happy Holidays!!!

December 20, 2004 |

I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone the Happiest of Holidays. I haven’t been locked up as Philip wondered but indeed some days I think I should be. The holidays have made balancing everything nearly impossible and that leaves me stressed out and overwhelmed. But I will get through it.

My surgery for the lymph node removal is set for the 30th. I am trying to be as positive and upbeat as I can but I am scared to death. I have so much to lose. It makes it that much harder to concentrate on things when I keep thinking about the worst case scenario. Please say a little prayer for me or just send some good vibes and thoughts my way if you’re not the praying kind.

I haven’t quite closed the daycare doors yet. I as good as have the other job permanently in that they are giving me long term work starting next month. And having the additional children here is increasing my stress level but making that final break is tough. And I feel bad in some ways about having the children change their routines by going to someone elses house. For some of these kids the only sense of routine they have is here at my house and I hate to shake it up. After the first of the year I’m going to have to make some changes. For myself and my kids.

Enjoy your holidays everyone. Be sure and stop all the mad holiday running around and take some time to just hang out with your family. Cuddle up on the couch, stare at the Christmas tree and just enjoy one another. That’s what its really all about you know ;)
