Bah Humbug

I HATE the holidays. Not only do they remind me that I am poor and have a dysfunctional family, but I feel all this pressure to make the holidays SPECIAL for Ben.We have a jam packed schedule ahead of us. My mother-in-law arrives Tuesday for 5 days; babysitting ends next week so I am taking care of Ben FT while still paying the babysitter handsomely; then we have to brave my family for xmas and then chanukkah starts on
xmas night. OY! If I survive this, THAT will be the miracle of the season. It will take a great deal of liquor and ice cream for me to make it through. I am already up to a pint in one sitting (on both counts) so by the new year I should be ready for AA and OA. Do you think they offer a joint program? It would save so much time.
