Our plans have had to be adjusted for this weekend because I’m not doing so well. As of now, I will be staying behind while the boys and Lizze head to the family Christmas party.

The boys will be heading to Lizze’s parents to spend the day and when it’s time for the party, they will pick Lizze up on the way.

I feel terrible not going but honestly, I feel even more terrible simply existing at the moment. My hope is that I’ll feel well enough to spend Christmas Eve with my in-laws and if I’m really lucky, I’ll be okay to see my side of the family on Christmas day.

If nothing else, perhaps we can have a quiet, at home Christmas this year.
