I feel lonely. My sweet CCB went to work at 6am yesterday and didn't get home till midnight. He went back to work this morning at 6 and I'm sure I won't see him till late tonight as well. I know he will be off tomorrow and that's what I'm holding on too. Overly dramatic? Maybe.
I want to put up my Christmas decorations. I've been looking forward to it since we bought the place. I have always wanted a home with a front porch and I have one. I can't wait to deck it out for the holidays. One problem. All my stuff is up in the attic. What's the big deal? Well it seems this pesky fear I have of dark creepy places at the top of ladders is holding me back from getting the stuff myself. That and the knowledge that it took two of us to get some of that crap up there in the first place. There is no way I could get it alone and CCB would kill me if I tried. CCB can't help me though because....well we've already covered that.
This time last year I was pretty much done with my Christmas shopping. This year....I haven't even started. Why? Well it appears that doctors and hospitals expect to get paid when they give you medical treatment. The doc wants all kinds of money whether or not you actually carry a baby to term or not. It's crazy I know. The only one left to pay off is the hospital, I sent the last payment to the doc last Wed much to my relief. I'll get it done. I just don't like to feel under the gun. It was so nice to do it at a leisurely pace last year.
CCB took my car for some reason this morning. I'm stuck at home.
AND there are no bloggers on today. No updates. No one to IM with. NADA. *sigh*
Boy, what a sucky post. Maybe I'm PMS'ing. Great! There is one more thing to whine about!

Maybe you could spend some time planning exactly how you want the decorations to look.
Make it complicated..
I'm sure CCB would just love that, ha,ha..
CCB will be home tomorrow and he can help you take your decorations out of the attic and then help you decorate....You have plenty of time.
*hugs and more hugs* I hate it when my other half has to do long days. It'll be nice to have a nice family Sunday together (and you're not being overly dramatic in the least!) xx
Have you got a life-size Santa for your porch? Raffia reindeer? Lights? I don't have a porch, but if I did, I'd want all those and a crêche and a tree and stars and big fake presents all wrapped up in gol and silver foil..oh yeah, that's why I live in an apartment.. with no attic.
It is so inspiring and uplifting that you love each other so much and actually MISS each other like that after so many years of being together! You are a wonderful example of what love really is!
ok, now I am super sad! I am pmsing to, tho!
I hate medical bills so much - don't get me started on how shitty insurance companies are. Ugh.
Oh, and btw - I'm always on AIM during the day (at work) if you wanna chat - eurekablyth is my screen name. :-)
Sorry I wasn't around to whine to on Saturday...but I could have commiserated with you & joined you in your PMSing...exactly...it's just one more thing...ugh.
It's a good thing you didn't go into the attic...
You know..cause of the ghosts and stuff.
(I'm not helping, am I?) ;)

Aww, this is a sad post. Wish I could have helped.
For some ODD reason I am excited to decorate the house for Christmas this year too. I ususally like to do it but for some reason I am really amped about it this year. Maybe because it's OUR first christmas together as a married couple...? I even went and spent some of our Crate and Barrel gift cards and bought a few little extra's for the house.
I have a little trick for getting things out of our attic. We have a set of "hide a stairs" so I pull the chain and bang the door/steps a few times to scare anything that might be up there. Then I go up and get what I need and then The Sweet One gets mad at me when he gets home for getting heavy boxes down by myself ;O)
Amiable post and this enter helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
