Is this a sign?
So we'd already decided to stay home for Xmas.
Mom wanted us to come up north (she lives about 3 hours away) and hubby's family wants us too (they live five hours away) both families were willing to pay for the train tickets, or have us ride with my sister who is driving up from New Orleans. We graciously declined everyone's offers.
We don't like to travel, unless it's for an extended period of time. We'd have to leave tomorrow, day before Xmas, and the roads will be PACKED with crazy drivers rushing for their family gatherings, mixed with ice and snowy highways, making me fear for my life every second. Sigh.
Also, it's our first year to REALLY show Amara what Christmas is all about, and yes...I know, that means family and everything too, but we wanted to start our traditions of santa and baking cookies and waking early for gifts and eating a bunch and being together etc etc etc.
So we said no. His family understood (they always do) and mine continues to lay the guilt trip on nice and heavy, but we were decided so I really didn't care...but now...
1. our water has been out for three days and its going to get colder before it gets warmer, making me wonder if we should chance staying at home, cold, with no way to flush the toilet, wash dishes, and clean our bodies properly for the next few days.
2. just today, when hubby got home from work and I was about to go out to Hobby Lobby for the supplies to finish the Xmas gifts I'm making for people (homemade bath salts and shower gel) our car died! Now, it's been on the fritz for months...maybe over a year now, but it has always started, now it wont even start. Sigh.
So not only do we not have water (though hubby says it should be back on by tomorrow afternoon), we don't have transportation to BUY any water, OR any food to make Xmas dinner with NO clean dishes!!! WTF?!?!?!
IS THIS A SIGN?! Because I really don't believe in that sh*t. Life is arbitrary and sh*t just happens and sometimes it works in your favor or not...(though I do believe a person's energy can effect the situation at hand or those to come).
WTF?! My last chance will be when my sister passes through tomorrow. She'll be going through to my mother's around 2pm, so I have to be packed and decided by...now?! What should I do?!
I mean, if we had water, food, and a car I wouldn't go, but now...how the fuck am I supposed to have a decent Christmas this way?! Lord KNOWS I want to stay at home, hubby too...but I dont want to just be miserable and stubborn and depressed. Though I would MUCH rather not travel on these icy roads with my darling baby (and my sister driving!) on friggin XMas EVE!!!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!_
