I haven't blogged in a while because I've become a cynical grouch as of late and I don't think anyone wants to read a negative post during "the most wonderful time of the yeeeaar!" To vent just a tad, if I read one more blog about another day in a picture perfect life I am going to go craaazy! See-- cynical. If I had a red sweater and hat I would look exactly like this guy:
Sorry to post such a negative update, but I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on till I am, (Jane Austen). Hopefully, the holiday season will help me snap out of it. I do miss my bloggy friends though! I knew that if I were to begin blogging again I had to start somewhere and so here it is! Maybe a Christmas decor post on tomorrow will get me out of this rut!

HELLO GRINCH!!! It's good to see you did a post! Even if you're...feeling negative.
It's easy for anyone to make life *appear* all rosy and happy through their blog. But no one knows what goes on behind *closed blog doors*!;-)
I hope your day...or week...or your funk gets better soon. Do you have good Christmas music to listen to?
HUGS!
Our week has been full of snot, ear infections, poopy diapers and throwing up. There. A not percfect rosy posy household for you.
Seriously, I know what you mean though.
I've felt a bit Grinchy too, and I think a Christmas decor post would cheer us both up!
Glad you're back!
You know venting is a good way to get cheery. You realize what you right, repent of wrong thoughts and let the Lord do the work in your heart. We all like to read about "real" life, who wants the hoity toity life?? Not me. You coming to Breakfast with Santa next week?
So glad to have you back grinch and all. Love Bonnie's comment, she cracked me up. Love you Himilce.

Lisa, your greeting made me smile :) I AM feeling negative, and I'm feeling negative about feeling negative. Cause I know it's not the spirit I should have. My immaturity shows itself in this: even though I know that noones life is perfect, I find myself comparing my home life to their and feeling that something is wrong around here! You are right, Christmas music does bring cheer, as does Christmas chocolate!
Bonnie, How horrible to be happy that someone is as misrable as I! Just kidding ;P It's almost like when you read one of those Grace Livingston Hill books where the heroine looks perfect, acts perfect, and never has an unkind thought (or horror! paints her face.) Dontcha just wanna slap her! *Evil witch cackle* However, I am not happy that your kiddos are sick! On the upside, better now than in two weeks :) Hoping they get to feeling better real quick so that you can get all of your holiday preparations in order-- and post another photo of that Christmas village!
Katheryn, I am doing some soul searching and confessing feelings of envy and ingratitude. It's a daily process. Like you, I prefer blogs that show the joys and the trials of life. Too much negativity is a downer, and too many perfect kids and meals makes me feel like I'm reading Rainbow Brite's Diary! I say, each blog needs a healthy balance-- but then, if it isn't my blog it isn't my business! Yes, I will be sitting on another man's lap (Santa's) with you.
Pam, doing this for you!
Good! We look forward to seeing you and the boys. This year, I will be big and round! #6 definitely makes you show much faster. But hey, it is all you can eat, and they do make the best cappucinos. :) You know I think we all look at others lives and wish with envy. And it can be so time consuming and heart consuming. I have gone through that, wondering what is wrong. But I think that through that comes a renewed sense of what matters, so then in your life you can weed out the crud that keeps you from maturing and growing. You are on the right track. Use your blog for healing and crud removal, it works great! Plus then others can pray for you and relate and even share similar experiences.
I've been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing -- I'm glad you wrote, even if you're not feeling all bright and cheery! Not everyone can be happy and perky all. the. time. Should I post a picture of my completely disorganized living room to make you feel better? There is laundry (folded... mostly) on the floor, both couches, and hall table. And, there is even a (wet) dirty diaper that hasn't yet been thrown away. Not to mention the 2 large military duffel bags my hubby left out (and they've been leaning against the couch since Wednesday). Does that make you feel better??? :P
P.S. Did you ever get to Chili's with that gift card? :o)
SOO so so Happy to see you post Himilce! I know how you are feeling. I have been a little Grinchy lately. I've been yelling at the dog, maybe kicked her once ( I know I am terrible, the poor pup) and been extremely impatient with everything around me. Not to mention having a couple crying fits every day for no apparent reason. But I have found that blogging has been a source of inspiration of getting out of my rut. I hope you do post your Christmas fun! I sure have missed you online, you always inspire me and make me laugh!!
LOVE YOU

Good to see you back, although I'm a bit late to catch up with you! If you ever want to make sure that there are folk out there who don't 'have it all together' and whose homes don't look like something out a magazine, then... head over to my blog. I can assure you - I've been sent to blogging world just to make others feel good about themselves, especially in the areas of home making, organisational skills, fashion sense (this one especially!)... Lotsa love x
Hi Hilmice. Glad to see you are "back" a little bit, have missed your clever posts. Sorry you are feeling grumpy and hopefully it will soon pass. And remember no one's life is ever as perfect as it might seem to an outsider!
Hi girls, thanks for the comments :) So I am working on finding peace in my home-- as that is my greatest longing. When I look at other blogs where the the home looks peaceful, I envy that. With our crazy schedule of school and work, it seems like a quiet, peaceful life is lightyears away! However, school will soon be over, and in the meantime I am trying to let go of some things so that I can slow down and relax a bit. I am a busybody by nature so a lot of the chaos is my own fault! Thanks girls for helping cheer me up!
