[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 216461, member: 3444"] I felt that way last year. Did not want to shop. Did not want to put up the tree. Did not want to do any of it. Bah, humbug! This year is a little better, but not much. Instead of being overwhelmed by the people in my life like last year, this year I'm overwhelmed by all the recent events (fire, rain, threat of mudslides and flooding, leaky roof, husband potentially losing his job, cleanup from the fire, broken water heater, the spector of mother in law descending on us in a week or so...) Tonight husband was helping difficult child 1 clean his room for tomorrow. He found a puddle of dried icecream under his bed. (Thank goodness it's not carpeted!) This crud had dripped down the wall and was in a 12 inch diameter dried blob about 1/8 inch thick. He had to use a spatula and a bowl of hot water and a rag to get it all cleaned up. husband stood there and supervised while difficult child 1 did the work. G-R-O-S-S!!! I've decided teenage boys are just plain yucky. At least mine is. He smells bad. He rarely brushes his teeth. He eats in his room and leaves disgusting messes. And he just can't be bothered to do otherwise. I guess I'm just tired of cleaning up messes and solving problems. That's why New Year's is my favorite day. I get to sleep in and wear my pajamas all day and there is NOTHING I have to do if I don't want to. :D [/QUOTE]
