What is so wrong with wanting to have one holiday that isn't all about hurrying up to get the kids somewhere else? Why is it a fight when I say I want to have christmas in my own home for once? I don't think my compromise was an unreasonable one - that I would host christmas for my mother's side of the family this year. But no. Now I'm made to feel like the Grinch for trying to let the kids spend as much time with hubster as possible - he has to work on Christmas. And my grandmother, though I love her to pieces, is being very childish about it. So - we'll do it her way for one more year but next year - It's my house or it isn't anything. I'm sick of playing hurry up and go and not being able to enjoy any part of it. I like my home. I like being home. I have not yet had a single holiday in my own home. And that just sucks. There are some things I'd like to do - some traditions I'd like to start with my boys but I can't because we always have to go somewhere else. And I'm tired of the guilt trips just because I want what my mom had.

I had my evaluation meeting for CrazyHorse today. I feel much better about his education. I like the gifted program teacher quite a lot. She seems reasonable and intelligent and I'm very happy with our direction.
They're at least going to be working with me now and that's more than I've had before. I just overall feel better about this whole thing!
