I think since the Incredible Hulk skates mix up when I was child that I don&#8217;t have it in me anymore. <br \/>\nI got an invite to bail out on Christmas morning madness and I actually considered it.  Hell, I am still considering it.  <\/p>\n<p>My sister is the glue of our family and when I put my fingers in my ears and start saying, &#8220;lalalalalala-i can&#8217;t hear you-lalalalalala&#8221; there is a good chance that I am going to get in trouble.   She hasn&#8217;t given me the &#8220;Yes, we are coming down for Christmas.&#8221;  so I am looking for just about any reason to not celebrate.   I got a tree earlier than I normally do because I could see this was not going to be a good year for me.  It&#8217;s been sitting in my new living room without a single thing on it for a week.   The only reason I put the lights on it the other day was because I felt bad for the tree. <br \/>\nEvery time I walked by he would say, &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t enough I was cut down, tied up and thrown in the back of a truck like a refugee on the run and then SOLD FOR TEN BUCKS, but you won&#8217;t even trim me up and decorate me? YOU SUCK WOMAN! SUCKITY SUCK SUCK!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You have lights now, shut the hell up you damn tree!<\/p>\n<p>\nI can&#8217;t even imagine the freedom to be able to say, &#8220;Hey, i&#8217;m going to do this, not feel guilty about it. &#8220;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a &#8220;Hold my beer and watch this&#8230;&#8221; famous last words moment. I would NEVER live it down. <br \/>\n&#8220;Remember that year you bailed on Christmas?&#8221;  <br \/>\nOhhhh, but the thought of laughing all day and not worried about if I got enough, the food is good, is it enough&#8230;have I given ENOUGH???<br \/>\nEver feel like you give all you have and there is always someone that looks at you like you didn&#8217;t do enough? I do.  Why do I even give a flying fuck?  Because he is the other 50% of my children&#8217;s memories growing up and his words have impact on the way they look at me.<\/p>\n<p>I did actually call and tell him I was going to have the girls on Christmas Eve and he could have them Christmas morning.  <br \/>\nI rendered him speechless. <\/p>\n<p>I wonder what would win out in my memories later in life? the guilt trip I got or the laughter I had that day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it&#8217;s about forgiveness&#8230;., originally uploaded by Suddenly Single.
