my mouth

is getting me in all kinds of trouble this week. i've already talked about how it's "making" me eat too much. well, it's also "making" me say some awful, not very nice things to those around me - especially my kids and husband. not good.

i really haven't done a good job of planning ahead for this Christmas...and i'm really not enjoying it. i can say that it's the first Christmas that i haven't enjoyed - which is pretty good, i guess. don't get me wrong, we've had some great moments. but when i've chosen to enjoy those moments, there is this over-arching stress that's hanging in my head so i can't TRULY enjoy it. i'm never doing this again.

everyone is suffering because of it. and it's not fair to anyone.

Hang in there it just seems to be a tough season this year. I'm feeling very similar and not liking it one bit.

It was so good to talk with you that afternoon about all of this. I so appreciate your willingness to be real with your joys and your struggles. It's been something that has been on my heart for the new year too - really trying to get better control over it.
