I'm here from Mission: Monday and I'm glad I clicked over.

The new year cures PVSD, doesn't it? It's all about the clean slate. It won't cure viruses though, so you had better keep those wipes ready...

Here I thought it was just me who goes through the after holiday depression. I have a post in progress about how I've been feeling. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. We will get through it!! Hang in there.

I hate taking my decorations down, that makes me so depressed. SO I wait till after the new year to do it.

I'm fixing to post something that might make you smile! :)

2008-12-29T18:26:00.000-08:00

Sorry that you are suffering from PHLD. I am suffering from the mess. It is so bad I don't even know where to start. I get one thing done and Hunter manages to destroy another room with all his Christmas loot.

Hope the New Year and Ramen bring you out of depression! Have a Happy and safe one!

p.s. I love your stocking cap!!!

2008-12-29T18:13:00.000-08:00

gosh glad I am not the only one that feels that way. We are all sick on top of it. We use to go to Disney the day after Xmas to chase the blues away, the wine isn't working either. Great post Jen.

"And Mom And Dad Can Hardly Wait For School To Start Again!" Oh brother!!! How true.
And now my 9 yrs. old niece is staying with us because of her father's work schedule and I'm about ready to scream!
...whew...
...deep breath...
Alright. A bit better now.

2008-12-29T16:20:00.000-08:00

Over from MM - can totally feel your pain. I'm chagrined to say that when dear hubby headed back to work today, I wasn't all that sad.

Sometimes juggling the kids is a little easier without someone else throwing a ball at me, you know?

Hope the funk passes quickly!!

2008-12-29T15:42:00.000-08:00

I wanted to say to Brittany, that I read a blog recently about someone's mother who said all the little birdies that hang out on the telephone wires are 'Santa's Helpers' and they report to Santa all year round. I thought it was a pretty good idea.

I'm not a mom, so I get all of the fun of christmas without the Post-Christmas Let Down.

I'd offer you some yummy coffee cake and tea as a condolance, but that would probably ... eventually just make you feel worse. Buck up though, Spring is just around the corner!!!

2008-12-29T15:28:00.000-08:00

i kinda get down after Christmas too! it's like a high and then you have to hit that low!!
then i think that it's bitter sweat!

I'm just starting to come down off my Christmas high.... the drive home from my parents' tomorrow will be murder! Meh.

Gloves and a mask at Bunco, eh? That ought to be interesting.

Our Monterey trip is back on, but we're going to do cheap take out dinner for the room. lol Anything to enjoy just being there!

2008-12-29T13:52:00.000-08:00

I am still feeling pretty GOOD because I am on vacation...but next Monday when I have to go to work...I will be in a foul, sour mood!

I think the post-holiday let-down affects us all.

2008-12-29T12:05:00.000-08:00

I hate it when we can't use Santa as a weapon anymore...the whole "I'm calling Santa!" thing doesn't really work post December 25th and it sucks!

I am ready to go back to WORK in order to get some rest! Love the post!

2008-12-29T11:11:00.000-08:00

Yea, I really need an "elf" year round to watch over the kids and report back to someone.

I'm going out with the girls tonight. I need a break away from this house!!!

2008-12-29T11:10:00.000-08:00

It's not hitting me that badly this year. I could say it's because I've read The Secret, took up Hatha Yoga and learned to roll my own sushi, but that would not be true. Not only because I didn't do any of that stuff, but because I'm 100% sure it's my new meds. I can't drink wine or martinis because of an horrific twist of fate: I am allergic.. so I need the pills more than I even knew. Older daughter drives, and no one believes Santa comes down the chimney anymore... so post Christmas squirrley factor is way done from Christmas' Past. Happy new year! I really enjoy your blog.

2008-12-29T09:37:00.000-08:00

I still have family in town and the kids are romping with their cousins so my PVLD has not kicked in yet - for that I am thankful. But it's coming....i can feel it.

Especially when my dude goes back to work next week UGH on that.

Hang in there. Happy New Year!
