Comments on: Don We Now Our Gay Apparel http://stuckinthe70s.com/blog/2008/12/20/don-we-now-our-gay-apparel/ For everyone who longs for a time machine to go back to the 1970s when things were simpler.

Either that, or maybe it's 'cause we're all of the same generation. Every year I do the cookie, baking, decorating thing to the max. This year, it was hard to get motivated, and even once I did, my heart wasn't completely in it. My girls are 19 and 14 this year. I think that's part of it. I'm kind of panicking at the thought of them growing up and away. My whole life has been about being the "uber mom". I guess reality is hitting home now. The hubby is there in every sense of the word, but I still feel lost and alone more often than not. Maybe 2009 will bring some fresh outlooks and new beginnings for all of us! In the meantime, maybe it will help us all to know that we're not alone out there with the $$ problems, etc. Happy New Year!!! It must be in the air this year.

I've been just going through the motions of celebrating the season. My heart hasn't been in it. For the first time in memory, I had to make myself put up the Christmas tree, hang wreaths on the windows and visit a few old friends. I didn't want to, but at least I did it. I guess my half-hearted attempt to appear normal is better than nothing. Christmas has served me well by showing me that something isn't right. I'm making some employment and personal changes that will eliminate most of these paralyzing feelings. Life is too short to be unfulfilled. And believe me, my expectations are modest: less drama and steadier work. : ) Here's to a Merrier Christmas and a better New Year!

Ever since I was booted off the IVCene (class o' '84) I've vowed to not stop 'the man' from preventing me from being creative but he managed to keep me pretty poor too haha!!
