and then the tree fell over

*read the previous post to fully understand the full impact of this little doozy.

after all the less than fun that had filled the earlier part of my day, the christmas tree just went ahead and fell right on over.  loud, crashing sound...i initially blamed the dog, but upon further inspection, the stand broke.  the tree is in pieces, right along with a few ornaments, and i kinda fell apart (emotional breakdown was due, just needed a final justification i guess) right next to it.  (cue pity party.) 

after tucking morgan back in bed, and having a sufficient cry, i took all the ornaments off and contemplated taking the tree right on down to the dumpster, but just didn't have the energy to do it tonight.  so much for a tree this year.  i guess it's good m is going to texas tuesday.  at least she will have a decent tree there.  and...i don't have to worry about the dog and cat chasing around it anymore or look at its non-working lights (remember the shocked dog story from here?) that have been driving me crazy yet i was just too lazy to take off the crap strand and put on new ones.  *sigh*  looking for the bright side here. 

there were so many good things that happened this weekend!  i will get around to posting about them, but tonight my mind was a bit one-tracked so this is what you're stuck with.  i'm about done with my pity party and my venting.  i haven't even finished my glass of wine!  sheesh.
