So Today is Halloween!!!!

So today is Halloween!!!! Not that it is some big holiday for me. I don't celebrate witches, goblins and such, (however I must admit I do love me some candy!!!!!) and after today there will be 1/2 priced Halloween candy at the store !!!!!! Just what my hips need!!!! But today marks the start of the Holiday season. First Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and all of them without Jessica and Autumn. Not at all what I was expecting this year! I told Terry that I was going on strike this year. (Can you do that?) Just hide out until after all of the holidays are over. I don't want to decorate, cook or do anything and I know that is unfair to Terry and everyone else in my family, but deep down that is truly how I feel. I really, really wish that I could just go to bed and not wake back up until January 3rd!!!!! Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. So, I will pray for peace and comfort and strength to get through the next few months of holiday times without my daughter and grandaughter being here. I will be thankful for my phone converstations with them and I will focus on what is truly important and the reason for this season.
