Yeah... so I spent the last week thinking my brother had swiped the AC adapter cord to my video camera. Turns out it was buried somewhere in the girls room. Oops…. He did swipe my Betty Ford Clinic Tee-Shirt though. Ha! Shirt Stealer!
He didn't show for Thanksgiving this year. Or the last three years for that matter. He doesn't dig the holidays. Never has. I used to be like that too. Seasonal depressive disorder I thought. Turns out I was just too caught up in my past to be in the moment.
I think having kids changes things. It certainly did for me anyway. I tend to think of Holidays as more of family time now instead of another reason to look at my past.
I used to feel like I had to understand every little piece of minutiae about my past. These days I’m just not caring so much. I like where I am at for the first time in good long time.
Today is C H A S's birthday. He's still pissed off at me though.
