Barbara I am sorry you had a crummy day!
I did something I hadn't been able to do before, I said no to my family and I said no to the perfect families of my husband.
I knew I couldn't take the fake smiling and answer all the questions from husband's side and I honestly didn't feel like going through the motions with my parents reminding me of their two other kids that were not there for easter.
I spent ALL day sat. at a barrel race and I was too exhausted sun to want to do anything. I grilled out and we all lounged around and ate too much. difficult child was home only a short while, but I was thankful for the little time we spent together eating.
I am learning to change EVERYTHING when a holiday comes. It will never be like it used to be, so I try not to set myself up for disappointment.
Barbara I always say to do something for yourself, yet I am the last one that feels that I deserve something good.
I have started taking my own advice and I feel like my cup is being filled again.
You too should take your advice and make the time to do something GREAT for Barbara, little baby steps, and your cup will begin to fill back up
