smilezz -> Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 3:57:24 AM)
That would be me right now. Foul mood. ACK! Where to begin? Hmmmzzz....here's a quick breakdown: I feel the Holiday's approaching....last year i could not wait to get Christmas stuff set up around the house. Thorns gave me permission to start the first week of November even. This year, having only 53 days until Christmas, i put up a few things in the house.......i think i lost my spirit? is that possible? it took so long to get it back and i so desperately want this Christmas to shine! i want it for Him. This will be the last Christmas we spend together for the next 2 years, i want everything to be as close to perfect as i can get it, for Him. Am i being selfish in feeling that putting all this decoration stuff up seems out of place? if there is no spirit in it, does it matter? I can put on a happy face and smile....do everything for Him. He will know as soon as He steps foot back in the door that something is not right with His pet. (He will be back the 10th..yay!) Perhaps it's just the build up of the Holiday thing. I do seem to go through a bit of the blahs before it. I don't want to appear or be selfish, i just want everything for Him! (As you can see, i have not had enough sleep...not nearly enough caffeine, so i am rambling...pardon my weakness at the moment and thanks for letting a girl just vent a bit) Happy Thursday y'all!! ~smilezz~

Go have some more coffee (or whatever you use for caffeine delivery!) I can't get into Christmas decorating until after Thanksgiving.

chucklez i know, most people can't get into it either. I am on of THOSE people that normally can't wait 'till then. ~smilezz~

mnottertail -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 4:44:02 AM)
cmon, be a smilezz not a foulezz............. you will get over it, can't be up for every thing every day. Sleep a little, ingest some devils brew (i drink around 20-30 cups a day), and in a day or two the HoHoHos and Happy Merry Jollies will once again be a part of you......... I think the real problem stems from the fact that you don't do daylight savings time...........LOL (or do you AZs do it now?) ron

smilezz -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 4:54:36 AM)
You're right, i will get over it. It could be just one of those days i 'spose. I guess it happens to even a happy ass morning person from time to time. I used to live in Michigan for most of my life, so i know about the whole daylight savings time. ughz! Here in Arizona we don't have that. I think the whole process is strange anyway. ~smilezz~

Find a cute adorable puppy, look deep into its loving brown eyes... then give it a good kick. Works every time [chuckle]

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 6:03:57 AM)
Don't try and make it perfect, just try and enjoy it. Allow yourself to be upset, I know I would be! Just don't allow it to overshadow the reality that you ARE together now.

My approach to Xmas is very modest; i have a lovely little artifical tree, pre-decorated, which my girlfriend gave me...and i usually send Xmas cards, because some people i want to keep in my life, but don't really have any regular contact with them the rest of the year. This year, my kid took possession of the Xmas tree ornaments...a kind of passing of the flag between mothers and daughters...and is having me over for a few days at the holidays. So i'm quite happy about Xmas. In years past, i have been like smilezz, decorating for Xmas as soon as Halloween was over...and decorating inside and out..and i have great memories of doing this. But i find, living apart from my kid, that i really have no desire to do it, and i'm happier with my scaled-down version of Xmas. candystripper

pre holiday jitters try r e l a x-----------take a deep breathe anxious folks get themselves worked up too soon too much have a happy and safe holiday season from me n mine to you n yours woofie

KatyLied -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 9:11:50 AM)
Thank goodness my kids are like me and believe that less is more when it comes to decorating. The one thing I did purchase and I like it a lot - a fiberoptic xmas tree. No more strings of lights to deal with.

sub4hire -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 12:37:03 PM)
Stop focusing on the time you won't have together and start focusing on the time you do have left before he has to leave. That seem's to be your problem. Make it a Christmas to remember for the both of you. So when you are apart you can look back and smile until you see each other again.

smilezz -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 2:10:39 PM)
Thank you all for your replies. I think sometimes i should just STOP and think before i let my fingers run rampant across the screen. Good gawwddd, even i am human <gasps> All of you had great things to say, i appreciate that probably more than you know. I tend to loose my focus at times...seems like i loose it when i need it most. I spent today thinking of how blessed i am...what a very lucky woman i am...most of all, how much this Man means to me. John: i didn't have a puppy close, so i used my kitten grinz it worked! (am editing this a bit because once more my eyes were crossed and saw 'lick' instead of 'kick'. I did not kick my kitten, but i did actually give her a lick <chucklez>} LuckyAlbatross (I am so used to Em, this one is hard chucklez): sometimes i forget to just be me. Thank you! candystripper: thanks for reminding me! lonewolf05: relaxing is not something i do, but i sure am trying...thank you too! Katy: I got my coffee...thought about it more and YES! grinz thank you! sub4hire: sometimes being smacked right in the face is what i need. You did that. Thank you, focus means everything to me...even when you know something and it is easy, just not right in front of you. ~smilezz~

It is always gratifying to be told one was of assistance...no matter how small the matter. i really appreciated your gracious thanks, smilezz. candystripper

Oumae -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 3:48:02 PM)
Am glad you are feeling more positive. I once was facing Christmas apart from someone who was very special to me and we celebrated it early complete with a tree and the memories were a wonderful comfort on the day when we exchanged texts and referred to it. Best wishes, Oumae

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Foul Mood... (11/3/2005 6:17:48 PM)
Em is fine :) I'm still Emerald everywhere else and I still have that profile here, as long as know who you mean, we're good. Glad you're on an upswing. But remember, it IS ok to be sad and upset and anxious...just don't let it overwhelm or forget the good stuff.
