I laughed and shared what you wrote about "the Whore". There were many times i was left by my ex-husband. There were many times he would leave around Christmas time and i would panic and try to put Christmas on for my 2 children. And i did it. And once again i would say "Whew" just like you. Today i hate Christmas coming. Don't know if it has been because of the many times i had to pull things together on my own,not sure. But i do know that it is some commercial that bothers me. The partner that i have now (best thing that happened to me) loves Christmas, i don't. He said to me lets go and buy a tree, decorate it put presents under the tree and listen to Christmas songs, you know what i said? No. At 58 still can't get into "the spirit". No children at home now, both away and its the two of us. Maybe i will paint something pink.<br />I too wish we were neighbors, you and i would be good friends. Have a wonderful Christmas, full of "the spirit", of sharing your time with friends and family. I love your blog and always go to it for inspiration and story telling.<br />dianneladydihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325828777554253018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-51452168264667928902012-12-13T23:36:16.862-05:002012-12-13T23:36:16.862-05:00Just found your wonderful blog!

And SO LOVED your pink striped dresser!!!! <br />I remember the days when we had absolutely NO money and I had no idea how we could make Christmas special for the kids so I totally related to this.

Bwahahaha!!!! But I know what you're saying about people buying you things. As a family, we actually stopped buying for each other because what does everyone do doing the year? Well, we buy what we need/want, don't we? (or am I the only greedy, selfish one around here....??? lol!) So when it comes to Christmas, I feel so stinkin' guilty, I don't want anything from anybody. (What am I going to do with that stupid garden flag....or plastic snowman...??? lol!) Seriously, we make Christmas all about Christ's birth and about the grandkids. <br /><br />Anyway, I adore your pink stripes, girlie!!!!! And your bedroom is soooooo dreamy! Great job!!!! You rock!<br /><br />xoxo laurie Heaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-40495247296141008742012-12-10T16:40:48.917-05:002012-12-10T16:40:48.917-05:00Hi Cindy,
