thanksgiving funk...

akaksel · November 2011

Anyone else in a Thanksgiving funk? I don't know why but I woke up in a really bad mood, and very upset. I have so much to be thankful for, but I just can't get a smile on my face and it makes me feel even worse! I don't know if its that I'm dreading going to my in laws because there is going to be a "big announcement", which I'm glad I found out early by someone else, that my brother in law is expecting in June, and surprise surprise wasn't even trying, if anything was trying to prevent considering he's only known the girl 2 months! Or if its that I'm having a difficult time with this two week wait!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, I know I am thankful for you ladies :-)

I'm in the same boat as you...going to Thanksgiving with DH's family and there are going to be 4 kids under the age of 3 there and one preggo girl (who wasn't trying for hers either...plus she's really stuck up too so double whammy). Plus my in-laws were fertile myrtles so they do not understand our struggles at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the "when are you going to have kids?" question gets asked on numerous occasions. I just hope when my MIL and FIL get asked that they don't respond in the insensitive ways that they usually do: "they're having problems so I don't know"....we don't want to tell people about your struggles with IF, but they don't seem to get that or care that it bugs me. If they do it today I might lose my effing mind....ugh!

I am so sorry you have to deal with that but so glad you got a heads up. My SIL is pregnant too and wasn't even trying. Although, I am glad that she just had my mom call and tell me the news. She didn't want to make a big announcement because of everything that we are going through. Although, she is an AW so I am sure that is all we will be talking about this Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I hope you can find a way to enjoy your Thanksgiving. I am getting through it by focusing on what I do have and am Thankful for and trying not to think about what I don't have anymore.

(((HUGS)))

Yes, I am having mixed feelings about today. Although I am looking forward to seeing my family and enjoying a great meal together, I also kind of have this sinking feeling in the bottom of my stomach.

My sister's sil had a baby in September, DH and I have not seen them since she had the baby so I'm slightly anxious about it. I'm trying to mental prepare myself so that I can put a smile on my face and just get through the day. And I'm trying to focus on the fact that I have a lot to be thankful for.

Yes. Were headed to the in laws and a baby. I feel like I could throw up. Other than that, I'm good. Happy Thanksgiving all!!

I've been in a funk all day today. At dinner, I found out my husband's cousin (who is in jail for a probation violation) managed to get a random girl pregnant in the 3 months he was out of prison. Oh and I should mention, he already has a 4 year old with a different random girl. UGGH!!! Trying to thankful though, because we have a great new RE and an action plan beginning next cycle.

Wishing all the bumpies a Happy Thanksgiving!
