Thanksgiving #2 tomorrow. Anyone else?

We're having second Thanksgiving tomorrow. I have no idea why. My mom started having one when my brother would go to my dad's for Thanksgiving as a kid (4 hours away). He has to work today, so he was at the family Thanksgiving yesterday, but apparently I'm being roped into making, I mean, helping to make a second complete meal.

 

Oh well, I missed dinner because of a sick kid and no one even brought me leftovers.

 

It may not even happen anyway. My mom showed up at dinner yesterday, found out my uncle started showing stroke symptoms two days ago, but when the doctor said they needed to run tests, he pretty much refused and walked out. He's very hostile to any medicine that's not in pill form, especially if it involves technology.

 

My aunt always treats him like he's faking it. Not helpful. Sigh.

 

After watching him slump to one side, run into walls, and turn off his beloved Bears game, we're going to try to take him "shopping" today at a "store" that looks strikingly similar to an emergency room. I hear they have a good deal on CT scans. :-/

Oh, dear! That doesn't sound good. Hope all goes well.

Today is #3 for us. 

Sunday was Thanksgiving/Dad's Birthday/Daughter's Birthday with my bio brother's family and my in-laws here it my house.

 

I went to bio brother's for mom, step-dad, both my step-brothers and friends of the family.

 

Today my older daughters are hosting at our house for friends.

 

All of my family holidays are like a weird twist on Hanukkah.  Christmas is worse.  It's usually 4 gatherings in 2 days.

Sort of, since we have a lot of leftover sides...and yesterday the darn bird refused to cook (house filled with smoke as wings burnt to a blackened crisp...as dark meat still bloody raw!)

Right now the Evil 18 lb Bird That Would Not Cook is in hubby's huge 5 gallon beer-brewing pot to make broth, at least, and a fresh (discounted today!) smaller 13 lb bird is roasting in the oven for Thanksgiving take two.  Meanwhile the tree goes up....
