Scattered to the Winds
All of my friends have scattered to the winds. Hurtful things were apparently said and done, and no one’s taking it very well.
I can’t help but feel winter has everything to do with it. The demonic force that is lack of light, intense cold and shitty shoppers shoving you into shelves when all you need is a damn roll of TP has taken over. It sucks people’s energy and drains them of their positivity. It becomes really easy to ignore the other person’s feelings or let your own sadness envelope you when even getting out requires fighting with people you don’t even know.
On top of that, the holidays suck. They’re stressful, they’re lonely and they’re crowded. You have so much shit to get done. Just you. Your family has their own shit to do. You’re alone and yet you’re surrounded by a bunch of jerks that you’d rather explode than ever be around again (read: shoppers, drivers, in-laws). It has to be the most lonely, stiffling season of the entire year. Add to it that you’re spending more money than you’ve spent on your whole year’s mortgage, and you understand why December has the highest number of suicides for the entire year. Everyone’s sad and I’m sad for them.
I miss my friends. I miss my happy, snarky group of mommies that all loved making eachother crazy. I hope that after this winter passes, we can all re-absorb a little sun and sanity, make our amends and get on with normalcy. I mean, who else will I get to thrill with discussions of boob rot & jungle muffs?

Me too, Jess.
I’ll third that.
Have I told you lately that you rock? Cuz you do.
I’m fairly clueless as to what is up, not belonging to NMD I presume, but I hope everything blows over. I love reading all the blogs.
S.A.D. makes me sad….{{{HUGS}}}
I am so lost and confused. I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t like it. But you, well you rock, You got me into this world of JM and WCW so you better fix it:)
love you!
I feel ya. Not from the same angle, obviously, but I’m still trying to find my niche as a mommy….and it sucks.
I hope everything blows over for you and you guys have a good holiday
Ps. Thanks for all the advice
I am sad too, and like Julie so confused. How could something so wonderful go so very wrong.
I miss my friends!
*sniffle*
I am so lost and confused that it ain’t even funny. All I know is that I sure miss the “Way things used to be.”
And yes, the holidays suck. Looks like Santa won’t be making it to my house this year because I can’t find my poor sweet boy a Wii.
Me too. It’s quiet there now and it makes me so sad. :o(
I believe that a family goes through rough times and this is one of them. There are probably outside forces that as you very eloquently stated we are dealing with. I am hoping that we will eventually be able to pull together, support each other, and make it through… cuz that’s just what a family does. You love hard, you fight hard, and then you love harder.
