I've asked my SIL, who owns a travel agency, if she has any frequent flyer miles she can loan me so I can go to CT for Thanksgiving. I've decided not to tell my daughter I'm in town. I know it sounds cruel, but I'd rather spend a quiet 4 days with my cousins then 4 days of arguing with my kid. It always ends up that way. I'm going to see if I can stay at my cousin Jean's house (if my friend Susie decides to take the train to PA to spend it with her daughter at Drexel).
I talked to my daughter last night about her "tude" when I said I couldn't come home for Christmas. She denied having an attitude (as she ALWAYS does). I asked her if she got my e-mail about coming HERE for the holiday. She said "No Ma, I don't want to come to Michigan for Christmas." So I shot back, "Well I don't want to come to Connecticut for Christmas either, so there!" I also told her I was pissed that she could be so selfish. She finally apologized for making me feel bad.
This yo-yo mood of mine is really getting on the last nerve I've got left. I've also been having WEIRD dreams. Last night it was about an old boyfriend and a former fiance who died of a massive coronary at the age of 41. Very strange. Maybe that's why I'm so tired, because even though I'm sleeping, the dreams are VERY active and vivid, so it's like I haven't slept.
Who knows. *sighs* *shakes head* :rolleyes:

Donna,
I am so sorry that you are still having problems. I can understand you reasons for not wanting to stay with your daughter over the holiday weekend. I know I am going to see my family in about a month and I will not stay with them (I am staying with friends). There comes a time in everyone's life when you just don't need the stress that goes along with family and holidays!!!
Go enjoy some turkey and friendship with your cousins and have a good time on the holiday!

Sorry to hear this Donna. Family troubles are never easy to deal with. Fortunately, my family lives 20 min from me so I really have no choice but to spend the holidays with them and there are times I'd rather just spend them with Max and Speckles. Sounds like you need a change of scenery so I hope you get away at some point and have a relaxing time. As for your dreams, stress can do that. I've experienced that firsthand.
If all else fails, you can come visit me ;) ;)

Oh Donna, I am so sorry for your 'funk'
I don't blame you for not wanting to go to Conn when the airfare is so high and when you have to work. Your daughter should understand that. :(
We are here for you to vent whenever. And I don't think you are having a pity party either.
We are all entitled to our own troubles and tribulations. I remember when Shaianne died (my RB greyhound) I was such a mess at work, I told one of the girls I work with I felt kinda stupid for crying like that in front of her b/c she had almost lost her husband recently, and even tho at the time I wasn't one of her favorite people, she said to me "Don't feel bad about that at all, we are all entitled to our own little tragedies, and I am very sorry to hear about your dog." I think that pretty much sums it up.
Email/PM me if you need to talk, Donna.
{{{Hugs to you}}}
