I miss ENJOYING Christmas. They don’t tell you once a small human shoots from your vagina that you are solely responsible for ALL Christmas magic. When I was married it wasn’t difficult, their dad and I made a great team. Now on my own? Not so easy. However, when all is said and done…nailed it.

Small steps
Small steps mean we have it, it’s just gonna take a hot second to get our shit together .
I did something hard.
I deleted my Auntie from my Favorites list. It’s been three years, she’s not Jesus, she’s not coming back. And yet I immediately burst into straight up ugly sobbing. I hate grieving. And I’m TIRED of it. It never ends. It gets moderately easier, but it ALWAYS hurts.
