Lois, Breathe! I get the impression that you can't handle a lot of things at one time, especially if one thing is out of sync. Okay, the windshield problem...easy fix. Take it to a auto glass company. They will put some sealant around the glass. That's all you need. The glass doesn't need to be replaced. Quick fix.
Things happen like the mix up w/the 1Direction movie. I've had it happen and it will work itself out.
As for the Christmas stuff, I didn't say anything when you were talking about all of the shopping, but I did think to myself that it was going to pinch you later in the month. Time to send some of the stuff back. As for the tree, you might have to settle for one that isn't quite what you are use to getting. Not every year has to be perfect in the way of decorations. It's nice to have a beautiful tree, but let's be realistic, people, especially children, look at it for a bit and then on to the packages.
As for your daughter returning home, surely there are some others coming from her college that could bring her half way, if not all of the way home. Is there a bus or train station that can bring her close to home? Time to learn about public transportation, if that's available.
I know you resent your h being gone and the things that are happening, but you know what? Most of them would have happened whether he was there or not.
If you would like for me to give you a ring, I'll be happy to do so. I have broad shoulders.
Breathe!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
