I have a CRAZY next 2 weeks and am kind of dreading it, but I am trying really hard to just focus on TODAY (even if I have to fake it till I make it!).
Everyone is posting (on blogs and facebook) a 30 days of thankfulness. I really want to do it, but I am having a hard time. Don't get me wrong...I have so much to be thankful for (an amazing husband who is not only my best friend, but also my complete and perfect match, a family that loves and supports me and more importantly loves our babies, friends that lift me up in just the perfect timing and make me laugh at the perfect moment, a job, a home, a little dog that I couldn't adore more, and right now I am thankful for a foot bath and some foot soak that is taking away (most of) the stresses of the day) but I also have so much ungratefulness in my heart. SO, I am boycotting the 30 day posts, but I am appreciating everyone that is doing them and reminding me how lucky I am!!
I saw a HA-larious movie this week. I was feeling lonely and sad and dreading the 4th last week while I was off to the coast by myself (where the weather was rainy and matching my mood) so I took myself to the movies and saw "It's kind of a funny story." It was literally laugh out loud funny! Not to mention that every time I saw the guy from "The Hangover" I was reminded of Dr. Hero!
I also decided on a Christmas card. I am making my own! I found a stamp that is the most perfect, cute little angel. I am going to put 3 on the front of the card and then I am going with Krista's idea and putting on the inside "Wishing you warm and happy holidays as we honor our Lord and the Angels He gave to us-Brittany and "A" Last name and our Angels" I will post pics as soon as I get some done...I still need to buy the right ink and pen!
That's it...a little bit of everything rolling around in my head!
Forever Her Mommy,

Muah! Not happy about your busy busy busy weeks ahead!! Lifting you up!!!
I love what you decided on for Christmas card text. It sounds like it is the perfect message for you to share.
Those cards are going to be SO cute, can't wait to see them!!!
OMG, S reminds me of the hangover guy too...except he is more handsome! And obviously much more intelligent, hence the initials after his name :)
Sorry that you are sad sweet friend...hang in there, the holidays are the worst and bring about lots of mixed emotions. However, I do love that you are sending your Christmas cards with such a beautiful message....and making them yourself is absolutely precious. That's what I so love about you, you're original, unique and just sweet, wonderful YOU.
Sending you forever sunshine when life seems gray.

Hi Britt.
I have no good advice on how to cope with the holidays ,all I can say is that I too fear Christmas and New Year ( I dont live in the US so we dont have Thanksgiving )
I dont look forward to it at all.
After our second loss in August this year it wont be easier.I cant help thinking that if it wasnt for the miscarraige I could have had a baby that was going to celebrate his first birthday in the middle of December or that I should have been 4 months pregnant now.
I try to be as positive and hopeful as I can but yet its very hard to cope when the Holiday season comes .To be honest I feel like skipping Christmas and going on a sunholiday to a remote place just to protect myself from the pain but I think that even if I do that it will be painful anyway.
We are TTC again and there is new issues to deal with as I am afraid to TTC again because I fear to get pregnant again and taking the risk of another loss.
I know its irrational as if we dont try we never get the chance to have a earthly baby but I get so mixed feelings .
I hope you will find ways to cope and I admire your strength to make your own Christmas cards with such a personal message .
I hope you will find the perfect angle wings for Ella Grace .
