[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 615795, member: 1550"] Hubby claimed he didn't feel well and has literally spent all night on his computer. I went to church alone, which was a bit intimidating. I did not see anyone else alone, but the service was the highlight of the night. I love the candlelight services. The kids won't go to church with me. Jumper spent the night at her boyfriend's family's party. Now I don't mind that she spends a lot of time there. He has a huge family and we have almost nobody. But she didn't show up until I was in my jammies and ready for bed and I was ticked that she came so late. She is my daughter, I love her, and I really wanted her to be there with us most of the night. She seems to prefer his family to ours. She never brings him here. I know his family is more fun than just four of us, but I missed her so much. Then when she finally came she got upset and boyfriend was with her and I am wondering if I'll ever not feel funny around her boyfriend again. She got angry and created a scene in front of him that made me look bad. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Did she HAVE to? I loved that guy. Now I wonder what he thinks of me. My new plans for the future. It doesn't seem that my own family, other than Sonic, want to celebrate, at least not in my house with our small group. Next year I am definitely driving down to Chicago to be with Julie and Geoff on the actual holiday, not before or after. They will be available. Whether anyone comes with me or not, I don't care. I want to spend time with my loved ones who [I][B]are[/B][/I] available. The excuses hurt me. I'll probably bring Sonic. Hubby claims he needs to stay home to watch the dogs (an excuse in my opinion) and Jumper is very involved in boyfriend's family. Dare I say I'm starting to resent them? It's not fair, I know, but can't help my feelings. My other alternative is to ignore the holiday as if they don't exist, save myself a bunch of money, and just act like it is any other day. One or the other, that will be the plan. Tonight was just like any other bland nght, minus the awesome candlelight church service that I went to alone.I cried a lot by myself. Nobody noticed but my sweet dogs. I refuse to spent New Years Eve with hubby on puter, Jumper out and about and only Lucas at home. If necessary, I think I will find a few gals to go to the Casino with. Or I"ll go alone. I am fairly friendly with people I don't know and I'm pretty sure I'd have a good time even if I went alone.

I am very sad, disgusted, and disappointed, but I refuse to let this happen again. Just a vent :) Hope you are having a better time than I am :) [/QUOTE]
