DEPRESSED!

It's Thanksgiving- the one day of the year when my kids, my sister, my MIL and Mom are together. This year, for reasons beyond my control, my husband and I are alone. We're very depressed- we miss our kids and want them here, but this year, it just is not to be.

It has become a tradition that my daughters and I go shopping "Black Friday". We get up at 3 am, go get some newspapers, clip store coupons and go the 50 miles to the mall. It isn't the shopping; it's the time we spend together, laughing and talking. We're always home way before noon. We spend some money, have some fun, and enjoy each others company.

I WILL MISS THAT!!!!

Maybe after Christmas, maybe next year, but not this year. It's not their fault, nor is it mine.

I'M VERY DEPRESSED! I MISS MY KIDS!
