that's how i feel right now. i feel like the Grinch when he said, "ho ho ho and all that....stuff". i'm going to a christmas party at my friend's tonight so i should be excited right. i feel guilty for working, i should be at home. but i have to work...financially. the job is easy and i get to see brian a lot more. but not as much as you'd think. i made a rule a few weeks ago...we can't talk about work once we are in the house. i made the rule for me mainly, much to brian's delight. mattie isn't doing so good in school. her teacher says she's smart just immature. i think we are fixing to have to decide if she should be held back. last year she didn't do good the first half then after Christmas it was like a light bulb went off...."oh now i get it". we shall see. i'm going to post some pics of random stuff. i should be thankful for the blessings in our lives and i am but blah.
anyone ever feel like that?
ho ho ho

You crack me up. I love your honesty. Yes, I feel that way a lot. Today in fact. It's been a hard day. I think you are right when you said to think about the blessings in your life. When I do that it helps. I'm going to be bla for a little while cuz it feels good right now and then I'll get over it. Life is hard sometimes but we'll rise above it. I love you. Have fun being bla for a while. I'll "see you tomorrow" when you are praising God for your blessings. : ) PS. It's good to know God will help you with the hard things. I pray that He would today.
Yes. Me and Joel, when we feel that way, we also just tell each other, "I'm just feeling blah." :-) It must be universal.
I feel that way a good bit these days actually...well, maybe once a week at the most...just being here at Christmas, where it's not really that Christmas-y. Then, other than at Christmas, Saturdays are a bit challenging too. You'd think Saturdays would be great...Joel's home and stuff. But, those days we don't have much of a routine and I always think about what we used to do on some Saturdays...hang out with family (when we lived in Saline), hang out with friends, etc. Not that we don't have friends here, but it's just different...and I just don't speak the language yet, so of course it's different.
Anyhoo, here's what you do...you just stay home (when you don't have to work and don't have to go to a Christmas party...by the time you don't have to do those things, you won't feel blah anymore, but sometimes it works out that you can just stay home :-) ) and blare the Christmas music, drink hot chocolate non-stop, and do some kind of fun craft with the kids (I never thought I'd say that, but I've been enjoying that these days). Or, you can make some popcorn and have a movie night with Brian and the kids. Those are the things, other than the whole God factor of course, that perk me up...until I just go to sleep for the night and then that usually cures it too. :-)
This is terribly long, but I tend to do that...get used to it. Love you girl.
Hope your day is better after your party. What if you got a tutor for Mattie? If I was there I'd do it in a heartbeat. Tutors are the ONLY way I made it through TAMU. Some of us just learn in a more sophisticated way and we need one on one attention b/c we are just too smart for our own good. Ha.
thanks girls! sometime ya just need to know there's someone out there listening and sharing in your pain and disappontment!
love y'all!
and i am funny dadgummit. my friends told me so!
