I understand how you are feeling. I don't know if it's just a difficult child thing, or a kids getting older thing. I had a nice peaceful holiday and my difficult child is doing well right now, but it was still a different kind of day which made me a little sad. My difficult child had to work and my easy child daughter went to her boyfriend's families house for dinner. Most of the rest of our family is in Florida right now, so husband and I went to a restaurant for dinner by ourselves. It was nice, like I said, but different. I was looking around at the other families with their small children, or even grown children, all sitting and talking and mine was just too quiet. Didn't quite feel like a holiday. I hope to not have to do that for to many holidays in the future. It just made me think of what the holidays used to be like, all chaotic, but fun!! Easter was always a huge thing on my husbands side. My mother in law would have a huge dinner and easter egg hunt before she sold her house with the big yard.
I didn't eat too much candy, but I did eat enough at dinner to make me feel ill for the rest of the entire day :smile:
