Holiday Blues

So it's Monday morning and not off to a good start. Aleah woke up at 3:30 and didn't go back to sleep. So that also means Nate and I didn't sleep much either. I tried to take a nap after Kelsey left for school but that has just made me groggy. I am truly trying to enjoy the holidays but it seems harder this year. I think it's been too long since I've seen Family and I'm feeling completely out of the loop. Peoples lives go on and ours seems at a stand still.
On a positive note my sister Jenny is about to have those miracle babies. I'm so excited for her and know she will be a fabulous mom!
My sister Michele is a great mom to my adorable niece Olivia who I have yet to meet. Michele is about to graduate from USU. I'm so proud of her and wish I could be there to cheer her on.
My wonderful grandpa has cancer and has some rough months ahead of him. I'm glad my parents and Scott are going to be able to visit with him after Christmas.
Now that I got all that out I can at least see why I'm so grumpy. I miss my family. I wish I could be there with them this holidays. But I can at least let them know I love them and will be thinking of them all season long.

I'm sorry Anna! Sorry that you're having a rough start to your day and sorry that you're missing your family. Hope your day gets better.

Hey Anna, these type of days are no fun. Just know your loved and missed just as much. When you get a second you should call on skype. It will be nice to see each other. Love ya!

You would think as teh years go on that it would get easier to be away from family around the holidays! HA! I wish it were so easy!
Maybe that is why it has been so hard for me to get into Christmas this year-lack of family- here I thought it was lack of snow.
