Off to family.....

Am I the only one here that would prefer to hibernate from family today?
Just spend one on one time with my child?

I get no time off work and this day could be better spent in my PJ's
watching movies or taking a nice hike.

Yeah....... I am an ass.

Nope. In fact a month ago I told the inlaws (where we always drive 6 hours for
Thanksgiving) that we weren't going to do it, I needed the downtime. I'm
making a 10 lb turkey and all the fixins just for me and my two kids. And I'm
looking forward to leftover turkey--something you never get when you travel.

The downside is that we won't get to take home Aunt Marion's lefsa...

I'm still in my PJ's but I was thinking of getting dressed by the time dinner
is ready.

Yeah....... I am an ass.

Yea, but so am I and what does that have to do with anything?

I don't have to drive more then 15 minutes and I don't want to do it. Oh
well, it is nice to hang out with my niece.

Nah. Sometimes family can be anything but relaxing.

Last year, my sister and her SO visited. We spent the morning at the
parade downtown and the afternoon and evening cooking, eating, and
playing Texas Hold'em. This year, it's just the four of us. I think
last year was better.

Seeing as J and I are 12 hours from the nearest "family" of any sort the
holiday would be spent travelling. We did that when he was younger but these
days, the 4 day weekend could be put to better use as we will see most around
Christmas (only a month away - gasp).

My plan for this week/weekend has been to continue working to reclaim my home.
It's been nekkid on the trim too long and the wall color is tired. My family
will have a wonderful home and proud homeowner to see when they come for
Christmas. If only renovations didn't take so long. LOLOL

Anyone wanna take up a paint brush?

Just my 2 cents.........

No, you're not and I hear ya big time. This is the first year in a
long time that I didn't fight the bumper to bumper traffic and head to
Sacramento. My daughter and I had the next door neighbor over for
dinner. I felt very organized, in control and relaxed. We watched two
movies afterwards (Terminal, and Lilo&Stitch) and ate ice-cream cake.

Isn't it fun to be the boss of your life? I like that part.

Wouldn't you have rather had a turkey? Or Summat ?

turkeys, and a 12 lb pork loin.......still have a lot of desserts left over
though. :-)

A bit like the "I love babies, but I couldn't eat a whole one"
