Hello all, just a brief visit to say I am going on a self induced break and stepping back from things for awhile.
I am into hospital as I mentioned previously for major spinal surgery next Wednesday and that will put me out of action for awhile so I will need to take thing slowly.
We are also having a few hiccups with DS and honestly I am not coping well with things. I have made the decision to hand him over completely to his Dad to deal with as I get too upset with some of the silly things his is doing. Just not thinking, not considering anyone else or the consequences of his decisions. (Who would have kids eh?)
I think I am really looking forward to 2012. It must surely be better than the past 18mths. Its funny, it makes you think long and hard. I have dealt with deaths of a parent and I thought that was hard. I have been through major health issues and many days find the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off and its a hard fight to flick it back on but we do it.
I think the trauma of the quakes has been harder to deal with as we have no control. No control on the effects it has on life and our loved ones, its a bit scary really, some thing’s take a long time to surface. Still I am hoping they have stopped now and its only onwards and upwards. The power of being positive!
Gosh what a horrible post, so anyway on that gloomy note,
I want to say from the bottom of my heart, I hope that everyone of you, who I consider dear friends, has a wonderful Christmas, blessed with family and friends and filled with love and laughter.
See you all in the NEW AND WONDERFUL 2012. xx

Good Luck with your surgery Hun - I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way :) You have been through so much this year Deb that yes you need to take a break and look after No 1 - "You" - Kids can be so selfish sometimes - I am onto my 4th one hitting puberty and it ain't pretty - LOL
Sending you big Hugs and Mushy Kisses - Fee XXXXX
It's been a dreadful year, I'm praying that 2012 is so much nicer to all! Hope your surgery is a huge success and that DS pulls his head in and grows up. I've just started on the teen journey with my son and as Fee says it ain't pretty!
Ditto to big hugs and mushy kisses, I'll be thinking of you over xmas!

No, not a horrible post Deb. An honest one.

You aren't alone and I hope you have a wonderful break. Best wishes for your surgery, I will be thinking of you. I hope 2012 is a better year for you! Hugs!!! kris

Have a wonderful Christmas and look after yourself... Take things slowly..xxx

Big hugs to you Deb, all the very best for your surgery. And Merry Christmas to you and your family ......... 2012 will be so much better for you! (Cos it can't be any worse than 2011 right?!)
Hi Deb, I was rearranging the sewing room over the last week and thinking how great it's been to 'meet' lovely ppl such as you. I hope the surgery goes as planned and you get a good result from it.
Sorry your DS is frazzling you. We all make our parents a bit mental sometimes. One day he to will be baffled by the behaviour of his own children.
Take care of you and have a lovely, merry Christmas.

Looking forward to seeing you blog in the New Year .... :)

Deb, you never need to apologies for being refreshingly honest. Sometimes it looks as if everyone else has life all under control, but believe me we don't! Someone once told me everyone is fighting some kind of battle. Along with all your other blogging friends I sincerely wish you a happy outcome from your surgery, and a smoother year in 2012. Prayers and hugs for a special lady. Xxx
Hope everything goes well with your surgery---and here´s to a much better 2012!!!
A friend of mine lives in Chch and the quakes have really shaken them all too...waiting for the next one - oh it sounds horrendous. Hope they end soon.
Hugs

Have a wonderful New Year hun. I know what you mean about the uncontrolable leaving you feeling helpless. You've had so much on your plate. Good idea to offload some while you recover. Hugs

I wish you a Very Merry Christmas too.
