Thanksgiving was good. We went to CT to my moms. It was a nice visit. I got to see my brother (AQ). He is doing really well. It was sad not to see the kids. His wife wouldn't let him have them at all on Thanksgiving. The whole thing is such a mess. She still won't let him have them at all on his own on the weekends. He has to see them with her there. He says that's not ideal b/c all they do is fight in front of the kids and he hates that. He want to try to repair his relationship with his sons. The oldest is 6 and the younger one is 2 1/2. To add fuel to the fire, the younger one was just diagnosed with autisim. It is just such a mess.
P and I sat down to figure out finances for Christmas this year. Having no money really sucks. We had a fight on Sunday about money. I am just so worried about him and carrying the stress of everything. I tried to make a suggestion and he got mad at me. It was not fun. It wasn't a huge fight, just a disagreement really. I just wish we would win the lottery (ha, ha). If we could just pay off all our debt and start over. We are carrying debt from before we got married.
Depression is still an issue...I am thinking it might be b/c of the increase in my meds...but I'm not sure. P was so cute last night. I was sitting on the stool in our kitchen looking glum and he comes over to me and grabs my face and starts kissing me. In between kisses, he tells me that he read that kissing causes the endorphins to go nutty and that causes an uptake in my dopamine which makes me feel better. He made me laugh and I did feel better after. I am so lucky to have him.
I feel like I am coming down with a cold. I'm tired and my throat kind of hurts...I've been taking airbourne all day. Hopefully that will fight it.
My company holiday party is this Saturday. Noone from my current department is going. They are all a bunch of party poopers! I am looking forward to it. It's being held at the Peabody Essex Museum this year. We're not staying over night (see $$ issues above) so it'll be a long drive to and from but it should still be fun. I love to get dressed up and go out with my husband. My coworkers from my days in sales are all going. I just hope the weather is nice.
Well, that's it for now.

In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!
