Heart

Feel like I'm not myself these days and really want to get back to the real me. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm just not what I used to be. I'm grumpier, more cynical and really don't like leaving the house. My guess is that the cumulative crappiness that's happened this year may be the culprit. A very large change needs to happen to get me out of this funk. What change? Not sure yet.

Had some family time today, which was lovely. We took the boys to see Puss in Boots at the theatre. We so rarely go to the theatre, so it was a big treat. We ate too much popcorn and drank too much soda, but we left with smiles on our faces. Then we headed to the store and actually bought a fake Christmas tree. A weird decision for us this year. But I couldn't bear watching our tree die at the end of the month. So a beautiful, white tree it is...and some "fir smelly sticks" of course.

This image was my favorite for the ghost birds and people crabbing. Too cool.
