November - Week 04

Well, here it is the week before Thanksgiving and I still don't have firm plans for the holiday!!! Between the weather and sickness, who knows what Thursday will be like. All I can do is trudge ahead!!! I'm on countdown mode. . .have most of the fixings for the feast, just need to run out this morning and get some produce then that's done. We cleaned and rearranged the sunroom for the Christmas tree on Wednesday which caused the cat considerable confusion!!! Yesterday we had snow. . .nothing stuck since it was 60-degrees the day before but nonetheless it was definitely a wakeup call!!! In light of the snow and much colder temperatures I did some online Christmas shopping last night. . .now I feel like I just need to go out and pick up some gift cards and I'm good with calling that a "wrap" LOL!!! This weekend my husband has Thanksgiving at his Mom's house. . .I sit out holidays there, entirely TOO stressful for me!!! For a number of years I fixed the entire feast for both Thanksgiving and Christast and the only "thank yous" that came were from my husband and girls. . .not a single person in his family said thank you. Now they have the feast catered by a local mom and pop grocery store complete with instant potatoes and canned gravy. It is crazy, wack-a-doo how entitled that group is. . .his 90-something Mom can walk in the room and not a single person will get up and offer her their seat and she tolerates it!!! Then since I am a complete outsider as are my girls we aren't treated very kindly so I have way more fun watching mindless movies while he is gone. Having said that I will make a few salads that he can take just because he rather enjoys those salads :-) Since the holidays have taken my primary focus, I don't have a lot to share today but did manage to get a couple of things done so here goes. . .
