All day on Christmas without any confessions?? Did I miss it...?

Idk if there is one or not but I for one hate family gatherings. Hate. Ugh.

Mine is that yesterday I was making candy and a whole batch turned out ugly so I had to keep them to eat myself. Today I'm making crepes and many aren't looking great so have to be eaten by me.

I am a disgusting person... The ms and exhaustion are toying with me. It may not be every day vomit but when it does happen it is seriously terrible... I feel like I constantly spell of vomit and grossness and even though I take so many freaking showers I have no energy to try and look cute I did try yesterday and today but I no longer care that I wear pjs all day everyday when I am at home and that make up is a thing of the past I look haggard disgusting and one hot mess but jimminy cricket I can't keep doing this!!!

Also I would gladly gain a few extra lbs of holiday treats but nothing sounds good!!!

I'm really mad that we are not spending Christmas with my family. I really wanted to tell them in person that I was pregnant. But we are in NY doing absolutely NOTHING and paying $150 for my dogs to be taken care of. I'm just ready to be home and have my grandmothers cooking. I told her to save me a plate.

I'm sorry it is so hard to be away from family!

@Lindsayleigh1989 you will get through it! It is totally normal to be in survival mode, don't bother wasting more precious energy worrying about it.

I'm not a fan of Christmas at all. Least favorite holiday of all time.

No FFFC from me (I'm disgustingly cheery today, so I'm keeping my posting to a minimum today), but I hope all of you ladies have a great holiday! Don't kill your families or strangle you husbands, I would be sad if you ladies couldn't post from your jail rooms!

I love just having my small family here on Christmas. Just the three of us and it is amazing.

blackgirlmagic

@Taymiller that's what we are doing next year. We said that if people want to come visit and see the baby they can but it will just be the three of us for the most part and I'm so looking forward to that!

I hate people who say to look on the bright side of things or try to talk to people about tough moments when they're going through that moment. My sisters 2 day old baby is in the nicu for meconium aspiration and having the shittiest Christmas. Everyone wants to talk to her and my stepdad keeps trying to talk about the situation. I wish people would just stop bringing it up. It's like someone trying to talk about the bright side of ms while you're puking. They're not helping.

Oh no your poor sister and sweet babes I'll be praying for them and sending lots of good thoughts! I can't imagine how hard it must be for her in general and than to have everyone constantly bring it up !

Thank you so much. It's tearing my sister up inside since she never thought she would be discharged without her baby, she can't even hold her because of the breathing tubes. Luckily she is able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house since she lives so far from the hospital and her LO is already making big improvements.

Oh that is just terrible @dolewhipper! I hope baby gets well fast and can go home soon to mommy and daddy. Your family will be in my thoughts.

I am glad she is improving. That is rough. Also, RMD houses are a serious gift. I have worked closely with families that use them. They are a godsend.

@dolewhipper I am thinking and praying for your sister, I cannot imagine the heartbreak and pain she is experiencing. Hoping for a quick recovery.
