I can't be alone on this. I'm just not in the mood. I'm tired, my home is a mess. Dog hair every where. I can't remember the last time I washed my hair? Messy buns for life! I don't want to put real pants on. LOL! It's cold outside. We have had a steady trail of visitors this week. I told he people who tried to stop by today, luckily they text me first, that today was just not a good day. I had visitors all day yesterday!! I need a break. My tree has been half way up since November 30th. No gifts wrapped yet. Lots of shopping to do still. Christmas cards not mailed yet. I'm just chilling with my boy today!! Lol Not to mention the PILES of clean laundry I can't find the time or energy to put away.
We had two Christmas parties last week, one tomorrow, and four more after that. None are at my house. It's so hard to be at someone else's while caring for my son. I literally pack everything but the kitchen sink! LOL It takes forever. Not to mention I have no idea what I'm going to wear to any of these parties or if I'll even have time to get cleaned up for them! I'm honestly just ready for January 1st so the madness ends.
Re: Tis' the season to be antisocial? LOL
I'm going to my IL's for Christmas and it supposed to be only them, hubby, baby and me. Now I hear that another 9-10 people are joining-friends of MIL. I don't want to deal with this. I look like shit and I feel like shit. I hope little one fusses and I'll take her and hide away in our room. Forever!!
hold him. When we took him over for thanksgiving he cried almost the whole time. Everyone wanted to pass him around anyways which I hate. MIL didn't want to give him up and was just letting him cry why sitting on the couch (not getting up and bouncing him, walking with him) which upset me. Meanwhile grandma in law is rubbing an egg all over him while he's crying, a crazy superstitious thing I'd never heard of!! So I'm not looking forward to this. And my MIL barges in every time I BF LO even when my husband tells her to leave me alone. I would just love a quiet night at home with us...this will throw off his whole schedule, expose him to lots of people/germs, and I have to deal with the aftermath!! Rant over. I feel your misery ladies. I'm just hoping to enjoy Christmas Day with no visitors and our little family (I pray!!).
They seriously didn't talk to me for days.
And the actual reason on top of it that I shortened it is because I had to schedule an appointment for LO on the 28th.
And then my MIL has been GREAT with my daughter. But she's super judge-y and gossipy always. I know she talks behind my back. So, when I want to have a Grandma who's involved with my daughter I have to make myself vulnerable to all of that BS.
I'm totally feeling sorry for myself right now, I know. I just need to get that all out there so I can move on!
I feel like staying home with my husband and baby...and that's it!
And OP, and others, give yourselves a break on the xmas cards, that just seems like too much of a hassle on a good year even!
Also, I hate hate hate Christmas. For all of the above reasons and then some. It'll be over soon, thank goodness.

That said, we obviously have declined a few events and will continue to do so. Its been good so far because we haven't pushed ourselves to take on more than we can handle.
My second christmas is with my parents and little sister. My sister has decided that everything involving LO involves her. She just stares at me and LO, I feel like an animal at the zoo.
My last Christmas is with my FIL who has decided that he's pissed off at the world, doesn't say a word to anyone, pouts around our house the whole 3 hours they are with us and then blames his bad mood on my DH.
Frankly I'm looking forward to just getting time with my DH, LO and our 2 dogs Christmas night when it's all over!
Keeping you all in my thoughts and hope we all make this through without too many upsetting situations! Stay safe everyone!
