Thanksgiving Weekend
Well it’s been an emotional 4 days off. Both good and bad. Thanksgiving was relaxing, but I ended up getting to Dan’s early so they could start Black Friday shopping. Seriously, Toys R Us, Black Friday does NOT start at 10 pm on Thursday. This is getting out of hand. Thankfully both girls slept, however they both got up right as I was getting ready to go to bed, so I didn’t get sleep from Thursday morning until Saturday at 1:00 am… which made for an emotional (and somewhat cranky) Kara.
We had the Hood Family Thanksgiving yesterday. Johnna was able to make it through the whole thing, which was awesome. Yesterday was 2 months since I lost Nadia… it helped having something else to focus on. But it was really emotional to hold my cousin’s little 6 week old, Olivia. Below are some pictures. Thankfully you can’t tell that I was teary the whole time we were laughing and playing with each other.
Well, we have 3 weeks of no more time off and then Christmas… I have to got to DC for one of those weeks. Goody. Traveling in December… What a fun crap shoot… I’m very grateful that I get to stay around home except for that, until the first of the year, though. VERY grateful.
It’s 9:30 on Sunday night and I’m still feeling quite emotional. Praying I make it through this week. Thankfully there’s SHARE on Wednesday and Glynnis on Thursday. Both of those should be theraputic. I need a good, cleansing cry to fortify… I wish I knew how to tell people how to help or what I need to help, but I’m not really sure what there is that does help. Spending time with people to keep my mind off things helps… Work helps… As do weekends (which I know seems weird that they both help 
)… Other than that though? I don’t know… I just don’t know…
