[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 328954, member: 393"] [SIZE=3]After difficult child arriving home from foster care I'd want to celebrate as well. But I'd have to guess this past year has been he!! on wheels & that you haven't digested all that needs to be. I'd bet you haven't been very self caring - likely no time. Throw in a very materialistic, "Martha Stewart" expectation holiday & I go ballistic. Make your day a simple one. Enjoy the weekend with a good book or watching movies. It's about family - not all the gifts, parties, cookies, cocktails, family expectations, etc. It's about family, just as we are - warts & all. Throw out your traditional today & make a pot of chili with a loaf of bread & do the holiday fixings on New Year's Day. Be gentle with yourself. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
