I have just deleted 6107 emails from my inbox. All messages, or comments that were important to me. Things i wanted to respond to. One of them was probably from you.
I am not saying that i am going to get better at responding to people. Or commenting. Or communicating. Communication is key and the very hardest thing for me.
I just needed to get rid of that guilt.
I'm sure there was an offer to give me thousands of dollars in there that had nothing to do with anybody living in a foreign country and needing to deposit money into my bank account.
I am attempting to tip the scales in my favour by relieving stress.
No christmas baking? Pshaw. It's just bad for you, beside i have a stockpile of Vermont Nut Free chocolates for the kids.
Way less presents? Makes everybody appreciate what they have more.
Shoddy wrapping jobs? Phplth. You're just going to rip the paper off anyway.
Too many christmas specials on TV while mom naps? Priceless.
All of this also means while i had every good intention of sending out christmas cards to every single one of you who sent me one, i just can't do it. I love every card. The kids and i marvel at them. Lot's of "gee mom, you're popular!"
and "Can i have my own website?"
We are still battling the flu and colds and hoping not to subject my beautiful new nephew to our plague over the weekend. I am snotty and barky, but interestingly, full of life.
Shedding the burden of responsibility this holiday season. Enjoying my family. Enjoying you.
Thank-you for everything.

To totally quote you, Awesome. Nothing feels so good as making a decision to cut the things that are stressful.
If I sent cards; I'd send you one!
