Happy Holidays & Give Me Strength

Happy Holidays!

Okay now that the obligatory wishes are out of the way…I really want to say please give me the strength to keep from choking the crap out of one or all of my family members this year.  Please let me be able to bite my tongue and smile at the loads of crap that come out of their mouths.  Please give me the strength to be “happy” and “full of cheer” this year for my precious daughter because she cannot help that she was born into a family that would rather keep turmoil brewing than to breathe. She also cannot help that her dear down to earth dad is not home to keep her mom’s anger & hurt feelings in check.  And most importantly please, please let Christmas pass in a blur so that we may get back to our normal routine which includes staying the heck away from those that bring negativity into our lives.  The End. Boy, I feel so much better putting that out there.

Wishing you a wonderful, crap free holiday season. ~ The Offshore Family
