It's a little hard to be in the spirit

Our weather is ridiculously warm here.  Tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 70's for Pete's sake!  Andrew and Robert are outside working in short sleeve t-shirts...in the middle of December!  It simply doesn't feel one bit like Christmas.

Family can also make it challenging.  I love my family more than I can put into works, but I was in tears earlier today.  The fact that the issues are on my dad's side of the family makes it more emotional for me...I can't help but feel some of this crap wouldn't be happening if Dad were here to handle things.  I also can't help but feel it is my job now, and I want him to be proud of me in how I handle things in my life, and how I deal with our family.  It makes an already emotional situation even more emotional...and that makes it challenging to get excited about seeing everyone next week!
