in response to my last post law girl said something about needing to write it. and i guess she's right. i did. i remember reading a (don't laugh) trixie belden book a million years ago and something significant happened and her little brother kept repeating the story to anyone who would listen. and it annoyed the hell out of her, and she had to be reminded by her parents or older brother or somebody that it was just his way of processing it. i haven't told everybody this story, but people know about it. and it happened along time ago, but i still just had to get it out there again. i probably didn't need to share it with all of you and maybe that's not fair to put it out there in a public forum, but it helped hearing (although i'm sorry they went through it too) about other people's experiences.
my sister and i talk about the difference in my mom and dad. originally she was breaking down and he was the stoic one. he still is, but we were thinking that would help her "get over it faster", whatever that means. a year later we're much smarter about the whole affair.
anyways, thanks for letting me get it out there and for the responses. it was a quiet christmas. being snowed in and what not really just let me catch up on some "me" time.
hope all of you had a good one and got everything you wanted.

I was glad that you shared it with us. Happy to hear you had a good Christmas despite the weather....heard it was supposed to snow again there in the next few days. Hope you have your shovel ready!!! LoL!
it was. i carry around tons of guilt. the car needs to be fixed, the 10000 unfinished projects, homework, work-work, housework, i'm a bad person, i've hurt people, i've disappointed people, blah-blah-blah. i got the car done a couple weeks ago. the cold/snow is a real reason why alot of other stuff can't get done, i got caught up on alot of work and homework and housework and STILL had time to sleep and feel at peace. it was wonderful. really stress/guilt free.
Sounds like a fantastic holiday. I'm a little jealous.
Like the new pic by the way.
Oh, we are all SOOOO here just to hear you talk! Talk on, Mister Man!
I disagree...I think you PROBABLY DID need to share the story.
That's part and parcel in the process of healing.
Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing the story. Glad you got to recharge during all the snow.
Catching up on 'me time' is always good and sometimes very necessary. Good for you.
Hey, isn't one of the points about a blog, handwritten journal, etc. to process thoughts and feelings?
Maybe by sharing you will have helped someone else.
Happy New Year!
