Per @drea926 's excellent suggestion, here is where we can all escape today from our cray cray families. Let the games begin. Good luck, ladies!

Having quiet morning time right now with DH and DS. I made pumpkin/cranberry scones for breakfast and am enjoying one with a cup of coffee.

Drea926 · November 2013

@verovladamir While I do prefer Dunks overall, the peppermint mocha from Starbucks is like Christmas in my mouth! I'm addicted to them!

SidraJedi · November 2013

I am half escaping to watch the parade. I look forward to it every year and it has been difficult to get this through to DH this morning even though we've spent ten years together. He seems to have finally got the idea so he and DD and MIL are in the kitchen/dining room and I'm in the living room happily watching the parade and chillin in my jammies

MetrosPhoenix · November 2013

Here's my plan.

Drea926 · November 2013

Cheers!

Now I want Starbucks and wine!

DublinMama · November 2013

DH is STILL SLEEPING. FIL will be here in an hour, DS is unusually moody today, and I'm wondering why the (*&^%$ I didn't buy things for Mimosas

colinsfebmommy · November 2013

I'm with you all. I should have started drinking when I got up lol worse tho, I have to this again on Sat w my inlaws

SidraJedi · November 2013

I usually spend all day cooking with a steady buzz from fresh squeezed OJ and Andre Extra Dry and then top it off with a large glass of red at dinner, but this is not to happen this year, so ya'll who can drink one for me please!!!!

Although, we are spending the day with DHs family who are totally normal and very nice. In all years past we have spent Thanksgiving with my family who are pretty much dark comedy material so though I want booze this year, I don't *need* it like I usually do.

TarheelMama202 · November 2013

DS is still napping, which is shocking. I am taking this as a blessing. This means we will get to drive over right before the thanksgiving meal without having to be around my inlaws beforehand.

I'll just go ahead and prepare everyone for the horrific stories I will have to tell after being with them. They are beyond nuts.

Drea926 · November 2013

Why have I never gotten blitzed beforehand before? I am all cheer and sunshine! Wooooo!!!

Drea926 · November 2013

DublinMama · November 2013

FIL walked in...hissed at DS like an angry cat. I shit you not.

DublinMama · November 2013

Kristen Wiig gifs are singlehandedly getting me through this. Well, that and of course...

SidraJedi · November 2013

Turkey is late, DD is going on day three of Grumpfest '13 and everyone here will side-eye me if I crack open a beer right now. Sad.

kleigh926 · November 2013

I usually get along well with my IL's, but they all want to give their opinions about everything concerning DD and it's really getting on my nerves. She has a runny nose and is fussy today, so of course everyone has to give their 2 cents and try to hold her/play with her when all she wants is to be left alone or held by me or DH.

I brought everything with for her to take a good nap- her fan for white noise, her PJ's, I even brought the baby monitor. And she slept for half an hour and is now awake and crying. So now she'll be miserable the rest of the day when we go to my side of the family for supper. I am so sick of her refusing to nap anywhere else and then being fussy. Days that should be fun are just frustrating now because she won't sleep away from home and I am always trying to keep her happy when she's tired. Ugh!!!

TarheelMama202 · November 2013

Y'all, it has begun. My MIL went in a tirade earlier about how men are treated so unfairly in society.

I can't make this stuff up, folks. :-S

Aw man y'all. I wish I could have you all over here. My mom brought 5 bottles of wine for 6 adults. Hosting my first Thanksgiving was awesome! The best part? It's 5:30 and everyone is gone.

Not looking forward to clean up though! Yuck!

Drea926 · November 2013

@TarheelMama202 I just wanted to say y'all even though I'm from the north. It sounds so homey and welcoming.

Drea926 · November 2013

I wonder if I offer enough sexual favors I can get DH to do all the dishes....

Bahahah!!! Amazing! Next year I'm definitely going to drink mimosas all day. Thankful to be at home and not dealing with any crazy relatives.

MetrosPhoenix · November 2013

I'm five coronas, two glasses of wine and a sangria deep, y'all. This is a fun game. Scuse me while I grab another beer.

Drea926 · November 2013

I actually just struck a deal with DH to get out of clean up duty!

I'm jealous. We are apparently having a dry thanksgiving, other than the glass and a half i had with dinner at 1. DH tells me "you can have a drink, but my belly hurts, so I'm not". Ummm, yeah. I can't be the only one drinking at my in laws. That's not how it works. ETA - did I mention DH and FIL keep farting? Awesome.

Oh, girlfriend. Come on over. I just had a whole bottle. Alone. And no one is cutting the cheese.

Drea926 · November 2013

I've actually lost track of how much wine I've had today. I've been drinking since 11am. I started with red, then switched to white and have moved on to blush, lol.

octobermama87 · November 2013

I'm at the ILs house now, we got here around 5:30. We still haven't eaten and it's already past E's bedtime. This is going to be a great time had by all tonight. Not. At least FIL hasn't made any rude or demeaning comments to me like last year. And no wine at all here. Dry. Booooooo

I want to hug you.

octobermama87 · November 2013

To top it off, I'm on day 3 or 4 of being sick with a cold and sore throat. I can hardly talk tonight. Ugh

Bahaha. She seriously said these words. And how people need to look out for men, because such awful things are said about them. She is a self-loathing woman.

Also I don't know if I have made this clear, but based on your wine consumption we would be real life best friends.

TarheelMama202 · November 2013

@Drea926, so much love in my heart for you! You really are the nicest Feb '13 mama.

Also, I'm drinking some Pinot Grigio right now after having Sauvignon Blanc allllll day at thanksgiving.

Drea926 · November 2013

@TarheelMama thank you! >:D<

I love sauvignon blanc. I had some with my turkey!

Also, random question- did you used to have a different screen name?

TarheelMama202 · November 2013

@Drea926 yessss I did. I tried to reintroduce myself a few weeks ago on a thread. I originally signed up for TB not knowing that a. the boards existed and b. I would be active on them. Figured it would be smart to not have my SN be my full name. $:\$ ">
