Am I a Grinch?

I just started my job in September. I am still trying to get to know people and develop relationships. I had an opportunity to attend the company Christmas Party this past Saturday to get to know some of these people better. My intention was good, the execution, not so good. Hunter and I had already made arrangements for the kiddo so that we could drive an hour and half to the country club in Plano where the party was going to be held. It sounded wonderful and based on the pictures from last year, it probably was wonderful. For some reason, when I woke up the morning of the party...I was just not feeling it. You ever have a day where you know you have something to do and you just can't bring yourself to do it? Now before any one goes on to analyze this, no I am not depressed! I am great as a matter of fact. But that morning, the thought of getting all dressed up, fighting with my hair, driving an hour and half to attend a party for a couple of hours, turn right around and drive another hour and half to get home just did not sound appealing. I am sure that after I talk to people this week and see pictures, I will regret my decision not to go. But for now, I am okay with it. Does that make me a Grinch? I don't think so. We did see an awesome movie in the place of going to the party. We ate food that was really bad for us. It turned out to be a great night in spite of not going to the Christmas party.
