Trying to get in the spirit

Standard

I’m not going to be a ‘Debbie Downer’. I just need my family to settle down and go with the flow. I talk to one person for over an hour. I talk to the other person for over an hour. I’m caught in the middle. Things seem better and then the one person pi#@es off the other person and vice versa. It all messed with my 50th birthday and now my Christmas is getting jeopardized. I do have my own issues and I sure would like some emotional support from them, but it’s all about them right now. I understand lives are changing, but please consider my feelings too. I usually go all out for Christmas. I’m hoping when I can purchase a few gifts I’ll feel better. I have Sean to help me this year.
I haven’t cross stitched in weeks. I find doing the paper crafts and making them for swaps is good for me right now. The stitching will come back. I do want to make a Christmas card like I did last year. We’ll see.
I do enjoy going around to different blogs and seeing how you are decorating and stitching. In a few days, I’ll add a cookie recipe too! Things just have to get better.
I’ll share a ‘domestic goddess’ angel I made for a swap shortly. I have to hop on the other computer to do so.

  1. What would happen if you refused to be caught in the middle and just let your family members handle their own disagreement? Remember that you can’t control others anyway. It’s up to them if they want to spoil their own good time with fighting.

    Most of us struggle to make our holidays absolutely perfect to no avail. Trust me, no one really cares if everything is “just so.” Try making yourself happy for a change and let the others take responsibility for themselves and their own behavior.

  2. Ugh, family drama is so draining. Hope you can separate yourself from it for awhile and enjoy the holidays. Keep making those atcs! I’ve made a few of my Christmas cards, playing with the design, but need to get into production mode here soon! 🙂
