Unhappy Bah Humbug!!

I am more than ready to have Christmas over this year!!! I have had THE WORST Christmas ever this year. I cannot wait for tomorrow as to return back to normalcy!! Go to the gym, off work, looking for an apartment??? (YAY!!!) The entire family is out w/ family gathering, I have(THANK GOD, much needed rest...........) slept all day!!! I feel good physically, but mentally and emotionally this is just too much!! Just had to get that off my chest........................thanks for listening!!!

hugs and lots of love to all you fine friends out there, thank GOD I a not drinking, as that (we all know well) would only make matters worse!!!

MA xoxoxo

Hey Cowgal,

Sorry it has been a tough Christmas. Kuddos to you on being AF though. Tomorrow will be here before you know it and you will hit the gym running. Just wanted you to know you are not alone!

Cowgal, that sucks! Congrats on staying AF though. I figure there is no worse way I could beat myself up to a silly pulp than to drink over stuff. I know it can be hard though.

I just started a new workout program but tomorrow is a "day off." So I'm jealous you get to go to the gym! Onward and forward with normalcy...

It's over! I'm relieved, too. Christmas can create so much pressure and craziness. It really got to me this year. Suddenly I was questioning my marriage, my life choices, my future happiness...YIKES. Here I am, awake at 2:40 am on the day after Christmas. I still feel the stress...But it will ease up now.

Here's too getting back to "normal" life!
