Through My Eyes
|
Christmas Ramblings I'm exhausted, not from Christmas just from life in general. Dad and I opened gifts around 9 this morning and then went to see Mom for lunch. She really had no clue it was Christmas. Didn't even repond to the presents. Oh well, she's happy in her own little world and that's all that matters. While we were with Mom my cousin, Steve, called he wanted to know when we'd be home so he could come over. So I told him after 1:30. That's the last I heard from him. I really hate that...get Dad's hopes up and then pull a no show. Geez have little respect for the man that helped raise you. At least his brother, Joe, came by yesterday and spent a couple of hours with Dad. Totally made his day. Okay I'll step down off my soap box. I've been through the ringer the last 2 weeks and my emotions are all over the place. Christmas was different just like Thanksgiving was. Dad would have been just as happy not to celebrate it at all, but I told him that even if Mom wasn't with us at home we still had to celebrate Christmas. I wasn't going to hide under my covers until it went away. I had to keep moving on, he agreed. So we did the best we could. Sometimes I hate being a grown-up! |
