LauraGB Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 After a big Thanksgiving lunch with my family, and a big Thanksgiving dinner with dh's family, well, I think my introvert self is socially and mentally spent and I do believe I'm good til Christmas for all social interaction. Don't get me wrong, I love the family, but I really just want to stay home now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 haha...no I'm fine on the social aspect. I think BIL is coming over this evening again as long he doesn't stay all night!!! He isn't one for knowing when it's time to leave. Dh had to tell him to leave yesterday! :lol: Food on the other hand. I can't imagine needing to eat again until Christmas. I could hardly get my jeans buttoned this morning. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I used to feel this way back in the days when we were going from house to house on major holidays. There's something VERY restful about being 3000 miles away now . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 We only had a grandma and an aunt over. It was too quiet here yesterday with oldest ds gone. I never want to cook again in my life though, does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes, but it was not due to thanksgiving (ours was last month) but rather from the chaos of it being only 2 days before fall recital and teachers and parents running around all over, kids chaotic and being the one they often turn to because I help out so much in this program. Until the recital is over and we are officially on winter break from the fine arts program I will be totally drained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I live in near a large portion of my family, and they are over all the time. Technically, I only has 3 'extra' guests. In fact, my sister and her kids are at the door right now. The dogs are barking. Gotta go. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linders Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hosted dinner for us, a couple we know, and 2 "strays" from DH's workplace, one of whom I had never met. Entertaining people I barely knew was especially hard. This morning I tried to just read and drink coffee for a couple hours - but the DC were raring to go....

Nestof3 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yes, I feel like that after all social gatherings like that. My brother and family are up, though, and they have a four-month old who reminds me so much of Ben when he was a baby, so I've been holding him a lot and giving them a break. Ben was very fussy like their son is, and I am just so glad to be able to hold and enjoy him while remembering those very difficult days. It's bittersweet. I wish I had had more understanding rather than questioning. I got so tired of hearing, "What's wrong with him -- my son _______ never fussed like that."
