Christmas time...

Well its almost that time again...
So many things have been happening in my life I don't have time to write on here. Although writing is one of my favorite past times. I find it healing and a release. I just don't have the time.

Christmas...hmmm well I did bake some gingerbread, although they sit naked on a plate..no time to decorate. Tonight maybe.
The tree is set up..there is nothing underneath it, but it looks pretty.
That would be all that I have done. I caught the last three minutes of a Charlie Brown Christmas..that just brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh at the same time. Christmas is just not the same anymore. My daughter is thirteen and has turned into a foreign creature. She is a whirlwind of drama, rebelliousness and hormones whipping through the house. Every day is a new fiasco to deal with.
As well it doesn't seem to matter that my mom died more than seven years ago, it stills feels like yesterday. Christmas and trying times with my daughter just make it more apparent how much I miss her.

I could look on the bright side. Everyone is healthy. That's good.
Anyways if I am not on here before Christmas...Merry Christmas Everyone !
