Why... Just why do things have to be so hard. I am almost wishing for a 5 day coma. I am set in my ways on certain aspects. I have a few certain traditions, that no matter what has gone on, I have always found a way to make them happen. This year it doesn't seem to be going that way. The only thing I have to look forward to is, waking up Christmas morning and turning on the webcam to see Alex open presents.
There will be no getting dressed and going over to Grams for Christmas Brunch, there will be no go over to my parents house for Christmas Dinner with the rest of my family. There will be none of that this year, none of it at all.
It should not be like this. Trying to tell me that I am a Bad Pagan, because I celebrate Christmas, is not right. It's a family tradition, I was raised Catholic and I am still in the Closet to most of my family. So, yes celebrating Christmas is a family tradition that I have always done. I still had my Yule Ritual, last night. But being so solitary now, it felt kind of lonely.
My mind is wandering , and I can't sleep again.
-shrugs- I just don't know.... I really don't.
12 days of Christmas ( naughty content)

The 12 Days of Christmas
My Dearest Darling John,
I went to the door today and the postman delivered a partridge in a pear tree. What a delightful gift. Thank you darling for the lovely thought.
Your ever loving, Agnes.
15th December
My Dearest John,
Today the postman brought two very sweet turtle doves. I am delighted. They are adorable.
All my love forever, Agnes.
16th December
Dearest John,
Oh how extravagant you are. I really must protest. I don't deserve such generosity. Three French hens. I insist you are too kind.
Your ever loving, Agnes.
17th December
What can I say. Four calling birds arrived this morning with the postman. Your kindness is too much.
Love Agnes.
18th December
My Dearest John,
What a surprise! Today the postman delivered five gold rings. One for each finger. You really are an impossible boy, but I love you. Frankly, all the birds are beginning to squawk and get on my nerves.
Your ever loving Agnes.
19th December
Dear John,
When I opened the door this morning there were actually six bloody great geese laying eggs all over my front step. What on earth do you think I can do with them all? The neighbours are beginning to smell them and I cannot sleep.
Please stop.
Yours fondly, Agnes.
20th December
John,
What is it with you and these sodding birds? Now I get seven swans a swanning. Is it some sort of goddamned joke? The house is full of bird shit and it is not funny anymore.
Stop sending bloody birds.
Yours Agnes.
21st December
OK Buster,
Think I prefer the birds. What the hell am I going to do with eight maids a milking? It's enough with all these birds and now I have eight cows shitting all over the house and mooing all night.
Lay off, Agnes.
22nd December
Look craphead, What are you, some kind of a nut? Now I have nine pipers playing and Christ do they play. When they're not playing their sodding pipes they are screwing the maids. The cows are treading all over the bloody birds and the neighbours are threatening to get me evicted.
Get knotted, Agnes.
23rd December
You Rotten B@st@rd,
Now I have ten ladies dancing. How on earth you can call these whores "ladies" is beyond me. They are blowing the pipers all night long, the cows can't sleep and have diarrhoea. My living room is a sea of shit and the landlord has just declared the building unfit for human habitation.
Piss off, Agnes.
24th December
Listen Shithead, What with eleven lords leaping all over the maids and me, I shall never walk again. The pipers are fighting the lords for the crumpet and committing sodomy with the cows. The birds are all dead and rotting having been trampled on during the orgy. I hope you are satisfied you tosser.
Your sworn enemy, Agnes.
25th December
You Stinking Lousy B@st@rd, Twelve drummers have teamed up with the pipers in making one hell of a din. Both have begun buggering the lords as well as the cows and Christ knows what has happened to the milk-maids. They've probably drowned in the cow shit by now. The only way I have saved myself from being f***ed to death is by hiding up that sodding pear tree which has been so well fertilised by shit that it's grown through the bloody roof.
F**K OFF AND DIE, Agnes
what happens when the Drama Llama strikes lol
Thank you Ra
Dear Mr Sandman
Why is it that you never come to see me anymore ? I really wish you would.
Signed
Insomnia
I was so tired earlier and I went to bed and just tossed and turned, even tried to count sheep.
But no as being my mind wanders it went like this:
Ok trying to picture a sheep - i see the sheep but do i want it to be a white sheep or a black sheep
Is it running on grass or dirt ?
what kind of fence is it jumping over? is it a wooden fence. a wire fence is it brown or is it white.... what angle is the fence at.. is it a high fence or a low fence
wait why does it have to be a sheep ? ok how about a cat? what color cat... good lord please just let me sleep................
COMMENTS
Good lord woman. Eliminate the sheep and just count in general.
When I can't sleep I count from 1-100. When I'm done I count it again by 2's. Then 3's, etc. I've only made it up to counting by 43's. Hah. You could always up it to 1000.
its great for me i get all the pillows and blankets muwhahahaha!
COMMENTS
Only days away from the end of the year now! Hope that makes it okay :)
*hugs*
Today was a good, no today turned out to be a great day *evil grin*
I spoke to an attorny today, who explained exactly what measures I needed to take to get the results I want and it didn't cost me a thing.
As I had to file a complaint with the better business bureau with the previous company that I paid.
I called up to NY and spoke to the court clerk, who ended up being someone that I knew and she was more then happy to provide me with the information and documents that I needed in order to achieve the result of modify the current custody order, and and also getting a electronic appearance form so that I do not have to make the trip up to NY to appear in court. Instead when the court date is set the other party will go to the court room in NY and the Judge will call me at home. I have everything that I need and it is not being contested by the other party.
So once I recieve the documents I will have them filled out and sent back up and we should have our court date just after the holidays.
I feel very blessed today

Recieved Christmas cards from Razr and LadykrystalynDarkStar and BubbleGumClaudia and Kattrinak !
That totally just made my day !
We also got RIGHT FRONT corner of an evevelope of a card from Champlain NY but no card or anything.
COMMENTS
Interesting- PandorasBx mentioned getting a part of an envelope as well... *sniff* *sniff* I smell this might be on purpose.
I know I sent one to someone as well and they only got the front of the card
Frustrated behind belief.
I have this document that I need to be able to open, but its in mhtml format, so I can not few it or anything I have looked and tried a million different things and nothing works at all. All i need is it in a word or notepad format and I just can NOT seem to get this to work. Is anyone familiar with this ?
Geez I thought the postal code was :
Even with snow and sleet and rain the mail will be delivered. Apprently the TN Postal Service didn't get that memo as its 5:30 here and the mail never even came to pick up the mail in the mailbox or deliver mail for that matter. -.-
No matter how I try to spin it, it just doesn't feel like Christmas to me. Granted yes I am Pagan, but I was grew up with a Catholic family. The holidays was always a big thing around our house growing up and even after I was out on my own.
The get togethers with all the cousisn to make cookies at Grams house, going out with my Dad every single year to get a tree off of the Tree farm we own, having the holiday parties spread out from Thanksgiving to New Years because I have a huge family.
Everyone making their special dish to bring to the Dinners and Brunches, Grams apple Pie, Mom's Broccoli cheese squares, Aunt Suzi's Cheesy Potatos and her pineapple cassarole.
I didn't make Thanksgiving Dinner and it looks as If I wont be making Christmas Dinner either. It's all making me rather homesick. I have tried to get into the holiday spirit and I just can't seem to. I miss having the family dinners, I want the smell of fresh cut evergreen to fill the house.
I guess I am set in my ways in that manner, and yes I celebrate Yule, but doing this all in a solitary manner seems so foreign to me.
COMMENTS
*hugs*
It's what I call the socialization process. We are trained early on and even thow we have other beliefs and live them, something always pulls at us to remember times past. I for one go with it and enjoy each moment as it comes. Life is to short. Be happy with all those moments that come your way and yes be with friends who love you for the person you are.
Peace and Blessings.
We recieved a whole slew of Holiday cards over the last few days, and I love it ! after i decorated my Charlie Brown Tree today I hung up all the cards we have recieved around the door way today.
Now just to get some Eggnog and some rum and sit and watches some movies today and make some more cookies.
There are a few movies that I always watch.
It's a Wonderful Life I watch every Christmas Eve, Miracle on 34th Street, and of course all the Peanuts and Tradaitional Christmas cartoons, Rudolph and Frosty !
COMMENTS
Eggnog and RUM!! WOOHOO!
mm hmm tis the season lol
My kind of person.
Peace and Blessings.
You and i are te same way we watch all the chrisymas movies, i love them.
One day closer to the day Alex comes home. Sometimes I just have to take this day by day. When i talk to him on the phone almost every night - It's really hard to keep my voice from cracking as I try to hold back the tears.
I know things are going to get really ugly when his father is served with the custody papers. And I am just trying to stablize myself for the blow. They say you never really know a person until you divorce them or take them to court for custody of your children. Either way it is going to be ugly, and ya it sucks that it is all around the holidays and everything but, I just can't stand go another day let alone a few more months of not being able to hug him, help him with his homework, play our favorite games, sit and spend a weekend watching a trilogy of his favorite movies.
COMMENTS
Truer words were never spoken sugar- been there done that.
I don't know how any of you go through it......I mean if I had to endure it......It would be me in tears on a daily basis

THE PRAYER BY LADY RAYNE
WHAT WAS GOOD IS NOW FORGOTTEN
WHAT WAS FUN SEEMS SO LOST AND BROKEN
THE DAYS OF SUMMER HAVE COME AND GONE
WINTER SKIES HAVE COME AGAIN
WHICH MAKES ME SAD IN MANY WAYS
PLAYING CARDS AND ROLLIN DICE
PACKING A COOLER WITH JUST ENOUGH ICE
DRIVING AROUND AND ACTING ALL SILLY
PASSING OUR TIME WITH OUR GOOD FRIENDS
BLUE, SHERLOCK AND WILLIE….
TIMES I WISH COULD BE FORGOTTEN
LONG CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT
TEARS OFTEN FALLING
REMEMBERING THE TIMES LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY
AND ENDING THE NIGHT WITH A QUESTION OF WHY ?
SECRETS BETWEEN FRIENDS
FRIENDS SPLIT BY SECRETS
THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE WORD “CHANGES”
AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRIENDS
AND PEOPLE WE JUST KNOW
YOU ARE YOURSELF REGARDLESS OF CHANGES
YOUR LIFE IS YOUR OWN
WHEN YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES.
A THOUGHT TO REMEMBER BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR
THE FRIENDS THAT YOU HAVE
AND THE ONES THAT REALLY CARE ….
ARE THE ONES LEFT STANDING WHEN YOU SAY THE LAST PRAYER
written by LadyDarkRayne
This was written during the summer of 2006. Me and my ex had just split andmy life was a complete mess. I had gotten very very close with someone who I now and will always call my brother. He taught me many things that summer and saw me thru one of the worst years of my life. ♥ you Matty
Changes"
DRIVING BACK FROM OUR VERY LAST TRIP
STEREO’S PUMPIN AND WE JUST FINISHED SMOKING
GOING HOME ONCE AGAIN
RELIVING THE FIGHTS
THINKING OF REASONS NOT TO GO BACK
IF JUST FOR ONE NIGHT
TRYING TO BE GOOD
I DID THE BEST I COULD
I CAN’T TAKE BACK WHAT WE SAID THAT NIGHT
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY
THERE’S NO GOING BACK
AND IT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO CRY
DAYS TURN TO WEEKS
WEEKS TURN TO MONTHS
I CAME BACK THRU ON MY VERY LAST TRIP
YOU LOOKED REAL GOOD
AND I TOLD MYSELF
“GIRL MAYBE YOU SHOULD “
I DIALED THAT NUMBER AND WAITED FOR THE TONE
AND I SAID ,
“YOU CAN’T TAKE IT BACK
NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY
IT WAS JUST ONE TIME
AND THEN I SAID GOODBYE
YOU CAN’T HATE ME FOREVER
WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE
I TOLD YOU I WAS SORRY AND HUNG UP THE PHONE”
DRIVING BACK HOME
AND MY PHONE STARTE RINGING
I SAW THAT SAME NUMBER
AND PICKED UP THE PHONE
ALL I HEARD WAS,
“PEOPLE DON’T CHANGE
NO MATTER HOW THEY TRY
THEY SAY THEY ARE SORRY
BUT THEY DON’T REALLY KNOW WHY
I DON’T HATE YOU I LOVE
I TOLD YOU BEFORE
IF YOU DID IT AGAIN
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
IT’S OK GIRL THERE IS NO NEED TO CRY”
written by LadyDarkRayne
That poem was written in 1995, and it was about my ex husband and how I was fighting a drug addiction and I had relapsed.
What Hurts the Most
I see your watching always seeing
You never say a word but just glance my way. . .
You think I don't see you but my friend I see every move you make ...
what hurts the most is watching you and seeing you leave
Crying my heart out everyday we are apart...
We had the best of 2 out of 3 , but it was just never meant to be ...
So what hurts the most is knowing and dreaming and wishing for something that can not be reached ....
You had my heart I gave it to you freely and you broke it and smashed it and wondered why I was so hurt....
What you don't kow and will never know is:
how deeply I ....
How passionatly I ...
Loved You....
What hurts the Most....
Is your silence
your anger
your not being here
your lies and your deception
for everything you said to me
for everyday I believed you
for walking away and ending it that way.....
~By Lady Dark Rayne~
This also was written back in the late 90's.
Omg -laughing so hard my ribs hurt with tears running down my face ....
Sunday Night Confessions with Deity
We learned that she likes to :
Wiggle it
Blow on it
No, get your minds out of the gutter, she was talking about her laptop power connection lol
Today is just one of those days - It physically hurts to move. I was suppose to start my new treatment today - but I feel like I am coming down with something - So I am going to have delay treatment a few days. The cold and rain and snow and then back to freezing rain is not helping me at all.
I get so angry sometimes because I don't think it fair that I hurt so much. Trying to explain to someone who can not even fathom (sp) what it feels like to hurt like this is like trying to teach a rock to sit up and speak. It's so much worse pain then anything I can imagine, because it just does not hurt in one place its hurts all over. I'm only 37 and I feel more like 73.
It causes me to to be very moody and extremly bitchy. My insomnia episodes seem to becoming more and more regular which doesn't make it any easier. - sigh -
Ok gang - The person that you have to buy for is now in your inbox - have fun with it !
As for the for the person that you have been selcted to send to I will get their addres to you tonight...If you are already on the holiday card list - the address may already be on there, but I will still send it out to you tonight.

I think it isn't just you- I for one have felt all kinds of out of sorts this season- it just isn't right, and it doesn't feel like Christmas. Don't know why, just can't find it in me this year. Don't sweat it honey- it'll be ok.
