Christmas 2011

Our little family Christmas celebration was quiet.  I didn't plan a big meal: I wouldn't have had the energy to fix one even if I did plan one.  Cole was uncooperative (and that is putting it mildly).  I am trying to come to terms with the changes our Christmas celebration is taking as the children are growing up.  I don't like the changes and my attitude is only making dealing with the changes worse.  It just wasn't fun at all this year.  I hate that Jake moved so far away.  I hate that Cole is hardly ever here and when he is he is so rude.  I hate that Andi spends most of her time in her room. I hate that no-one likes to play games or bake or do anything together.  Teenagers just beat you up emotionally and it sucks.
