Everyone gearing up for tomorrow? What are you doing if you're not participating in the festivities?

MIL has lunch tomorrow at noon. I am sort of dreaming of her mac and cheese!

I took the boys to the gym this morning. They got play time and I got a good workout in! It's been raining here pretty much since Sunday morning so it's depressing. Finally have sun now for awhile but at least they already got time out of the house.

I'm not prepping anything today. We are having Thanksgiving at home, just our family. We're vegetarian so no turkey or anything to prep. And most of the stuff I'm making is packaged. I'll make mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole, mushroom gravy, tofu, and pumpkin pie tomorrow!

We are driving to my parents now. We have stopped 3 times and about to stop a fourth. It's a 2 hour drive kids, come on. More like 3 today...

nickschick!

Also, we got a later start because it shower like 3-4 inches last night. Sigh.

I only had to work 6hrs today so I started at 5:15. Ended up working until about 11:45.

Tomorrow we have to go to the IL's. I don't wanna

I will probably make the pie crust tonight.
We aren't doing thanksgiving till Friday, but we will do most of the prep work on Thursday since we have a tiny kitchen. We got invited to someone's tomorrow for lunch. I don't know if we will go since we are going to take the kids to see grammy in the hospital. She's been in the hospital since a week after the twins were born and only DH has gotten to see her.

Oh, B has been doing pretty great w potty training. But a few minutes ago she started screaming and crying that she wanted a diaper on. I asked her if she needed to sit on the potty and she said no. I put one on her and within seconds she peed so much it was completely full. What's that about???

I'm ready to go running screaming into the night away from work right now!!!!!  Only a few more hours until I can leave for a long weekend.!!

We are going to my FIL's house tomorrow for lunch around 12 and then to my parents house for dinner at 6.

Wesley and I are going to my parents tonight for dinner as all the family is coming in this afternoon.  Should be a fun time!

I just took an hour and a half nap... Wasn't planning on sleeping that long. It was one of those naps where you feel awful waking up. I feel like I was hit by a truck or something and am completely out of it. I'm so sore from a workout I did Monday and maybe I slept funny on the couch. Blahhhh.

I'm working. It's pretty slow today. Mh has been home w the girls all week, and keeps whining about how exhausted he is, lol. Tonight I'm making a veggie dish for Thanksgiving at SILs tomorrow. And working on a little cleaning.

We are going to my parents tomorrow. I'm praying my sister doesn't go in to labor. She is ready to pop any minute. I'm in charge of the green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and spinach and artichoke dip. We have to leave at 10 am so I'm debating what to prep tonite.

@mbm1983 prayers for your coworker!

We have graduated from just watching Olaf to my 2 year old now giving me a play by play as to what is happening and whats about to happen. We may meed an intervention.

Glad I prepped tonite. I didn't have enough green beans and had to run to the grocery store, thankfully there was no one there and the shelves were fully stocked. My cranberry apple sauce tastes amazing its a new recipe. No one ever eats cranberry sauce at our house so I'm hoping they love my fresh home made sauce.

Rachelilly23

FFWC: Cranberry sauce makes me gag. Any kind.

Anyone else?

@chricast‌ I would still taste yours just to try to like a cranberry sauce for once.

It's 9:00 and E is still in his chair. He's crying while DH sits with him trying to get him to say "all done." This has been happening for over 2 hours. It's so flipping frustrating but the child won't speak and we know he can say it. He needs to be pushed, but com'on! I can't listen to it anymore...

Whyyyyy won't he talk?!?!

Hope your coworker makes a full recovery @mbm1983‌

My mom is over baking pies. They still don't have appliances at their house. C is engrossed in the Caillou holiday movie, so we're snuggled on the couch.

@Rachelilly23‌ this is the recipe I used. I had to add more sugar in the end because it was really tart. I let it simmer on low for an hour and a half. https://www.raininghotcoupons.com/homemade-cranberry-sauce-recipe/

My husband hates cranberry sauce and he said it was actually pretty good. So I consider that a win.

I'm sorry,@Rachelilly23. My son is a talker, but his cousin who is about six months older than him is struggling a bit. My sister is having a really hard time with it and others sometimes making comparisons. She's going to talk to his pediatrician and try to have him spend time with more kids (he doesn't go to school/day care). We will see.

I think E needs to be evaluated... I just filled out an ASD evaluation online and I scored him moderately autistic. We can't ignore the signs anymore.
