Well I pulled it off again. Hosted Christmas eve for 17, mostly my in laws but a couple on my side. Made a ton of food, just about everything I made went. Bought a new triple crockpot for fondue & 2 hot dips- put everything in them hot and was not sure if I should set it on warm or low....opted for warm. Couple hrs. later I saw I never plugged it in :) Ha Ha was able to laugh at myself because when I peered in the pots they were all empty any way! I did not confess my stupidity!
Sitting here now with my Christmas drink now that all have gone home and my hubby and adult kids and significant others are snug in their beds. I have cleaned up the mess so we can mess it up all over again tomorrow. I love this time by myself.
It's been a rough year. I was completely overwhelmed yesterday and had to confront someone who was being the straw that broke the camels back for me. It was very uncomfortable but I did it. They admitted that they had been selfish in how they were acting and imposing on me and apologized. It was such a relief because even tho I knew that was the case I was feeling guilty about feeling that way because of the slight possibility that this person really needed from me what they were asking. Their acknowledgement & apology got me thru this day. If I had that guilt hanging over my head I don't think I could have pulled it off.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
