The boys are at their mom and grandparents house tonight. I dropped them off about 1:30 pm and they seem to be having a great time. Elliott’s still under the weather so they are possibly taking him to see the doctor in the morning.
I ran a few errands and had an otherwise quite evening.

While I needed the break, I am having a difficult time with life at the moment. The holidays are proving to be more difficult on me than I thought and I’m feeling very alone. I know that probably sounds stupid but it’s my reality right now and I’m not going to hide from it.
I didn’t get everything done that I wanted to get done but I survived. I have a couple of jobs that need to get done and I’ve committed to having them done by Monday. I’m incredibly grateful that these came in because I really needed them. The timing couldn’t have been better.
Tonight I’ll get some sleep and focus on resting up because the kids will be home in less than 12 hours
I’m sorry it’s hard. I’m glad you still have parents and family close by. My parents have been gone close to 20 years, and my siblings live just far enough away that seeing them even twice a year is a chore. I’m sure your family and friends are all there for you. Hopefully as you go on you will have new relationships and old ones that will help give you strength.
