Hello all. Sitting here at home and wondering if anyone else out there is spending this evening alone.
On this night of all nights when families gather and friends share gifts and time, some of us are, for various reasons, spending Christmas Eve solo.
Not necessarily a bad thing - alone doesn't always mean lonely. But, it does mean alone.
Check in if that includes any of you, my fellow Freepers.
He had hardwood floors in his home, so he was probably dusting them as he walked around. He was known to pace don’tchaknow.
Merry Christmas Skooz.
Quit trying and just find something to do...clean the bathroom or something...read a book...get on google earth and fly to Israel. And let go of your son for the night...not much you can do fretting about him.
And remember Jesus knows exactly where he is and about....so leave him with him...come what may! Don't let him rob you of the Joy of Jesus tonight...refocus your thoughts and love that you are loved by He who loves the most!
Merry Christmas, eyedigress.
LOLO....
Reminds me when my kids were young and I would use flour...dusting around the tree and up the steps to their beds...then use a big boot to leave an impression Santa was there!
Funnier still when they got to be teens I stopped that one year and never heard the end of it the next morning! LOL
Oh, there are wills and trusts and whatnot. It’s the secret visits to attorneys and signed documents that happened relatively recently that have me questioning what is going on.
My mom is too affected to be legally anything right now.
Flour dust ... good one! BTW, I just polished off a pint of that Butter Pecan. Delicious!
Sounds like you do a good job loving him anyway, even when it is frustrating. I mean you did have plans with him. Those things are very hard to have in your life.
Me. Not going anywhere after the snowstorm either. Going to get some work done and then probably walk to church service tomorrow night.
I’m so sorry, Onyx. I know you’ve suffered a terrible loss. It’s been bad for me too. I’m just afraid 2015 has the potential to be much worse, for me. More being screwed financially, maybe losing my dad, having to disappoint my children. I’m a happy person and I do not like all this sadness. Maybe naturally depressed people handle it better. Cause I’m losing it.
Merry Christmas to ALL..
Have a Great/Happy New Year, too!
I’m so sorry. Mental illness takes such a toll on the family. I wish you still had a chance to have an enjoyable holiday.
Goof advice. LOL about flying to Israel. I’m watching midnight mass from the Vatican.
That sounds so yummy. I’m snacking on mustard flavored pretzels. Good, but not ice cream.
I love it! Beautiful. My favorite Christmas Carol. And I’m a Jew. Your playing is just lovely.
Not in my case. She has plenty of money. Gas was discovered on her farm and since her husband is dead, she inherited his relative’s money. She just wants everything. She got things that had my late daughter’s name on them. When I said something she said after she died, it would go to our late sister’s kids who are nearly our age. I live 200 miles away and she complained that I never came to see her. Frankly, we are terrified of her and that includes her own kids and grandkids. I told the rest of them that the road goes both ways. When I go down, I do not want to be around someone who screams at me. She has a gun and we are so afraid she will use it on some of us. I do not talk to her on the phone. The last time we did, she started yelling at me which was ok but when she started in on our brother, I hung up. That was it. He is the sweetest, nicest person in the world. A friend told me she knows which buttons to push to upset me.
Yeah, I love him anyway. He could rob banks and I’d still love him. But sometimes I don’t like him.
