Thanksgiving Escape Hatch

SummerLove21 · November 2014

First, Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for a board of lovely ladies and all of your support and advice and encouragement and commiseration over the past 2.5ish years. :-)

I figured some of us might need this so... ;-)

I am fully planning on making use of the "Oh, I feel dizzy, I'm going to go lie down for a while" excuse at least a couple of times today. :-D

Good luck to everyone celebrating!!!

Lol! I'm going to need it too! Right now everything is awesome, but that will change.

Right now I'm actually at my best friend's house for brunch, but DD insisted ok going upstairs to play with these Beatles Beanie Baby bears my friend has, so now in sitting by myself while DD amuses herself. She says she's dancing with them. ;-)

I just spent two hours "trying" to get E down for a nap. Read: I just spent two hours napping with my toddler.

DH was able to visit with his family and I slept.

From booze?

My sangria glass keeps magically refilling itself every time I look away, thanks to BIL's wife. She's a good egg, that one. ;-)

Well, I am feeling stabby... We usually have a good time at a huge Thanksgiving event that is open to anyone related to DH's dad, who has 11 siblings. Most people do things with their immediate families, so only about 50 people come and most are not small children. This year, one cousin came with her 2.5 year-old and 4 month-old who were completely ill. Her 2.5 year-old went immediately too bed at this house--too ill to apparently participate at all, and the 4 month-old looked like he was about to die and was sort of wimpering. I would never ever take my children out like that for their own benefit--if you don't feel like getting out of bed, you shouldn't if you're a child. Plus, they had already been to two other Thanksgiving events...uh, how much disease can you spread? The mom was also sick and was complaining about how it was one of the worst sicknesses she'd had. But they were all over my toddler and even 2-month AJ, who, if you recall, is not supposed to get sick. The mom even leaned into AJ's carrier to visit with him. Grrr!

Mine went surprisingly well at both households! I had fun. But I wish I had some booze.

And I think DH might poison us tonight. That awful gas the babies had? He's got it now and it's rotten!

Wow. The nerve and complete lack of consideration in people.
