Thanks everyone. I am doing better. I spent the afternoon with my babies and we wrapped gifts and made a looooong paper chain with the remnants. They just had dinner and I am going to get them ready for bed. When H gets home I am going out. Where, I don't know, but out.
Michael, thank you for that reminder. This is my Christmas too, and I'll choose to make it the best I can. Luckily during all the family functions tomorrow, H will be working, so it will just be the 3 ladies. Christmas all day together with H, but then I am back to work.
Ellis, I have asked him to go. Many times. He won't leave until the house is 'settled' ("If I have to pay on this house, I am staying")
