SKL Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi, it's 3am and I just pushed the Amazon.com button on Christmas. Ugh! I hope there will be no more of that. I just need to come up with something generic for two teen girls, and a bunch of gift cards. I think I can do this. I got too much for my girls as usual, so I really need to stay away from the Amazon site now! I will get some sleep now, and then take the kids to horse camp and then work. At some point I need to pack for 5 days. We fly out sometime in the afternoon to Vegas. I'll be working on the plane and again in the evening after we get settled. I just hope I don't forget anything important. :P 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyThreeSons Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 My plans for today got a last-minute change yesterday. My sister in law called to say that the doctor said my mother in law is going downhill quickly and may not make it through the holidays. We had originally planned to have a small Thanksgiving dinner tonight at mother in law's house -- just eight of us -- so that sister in law's kids could be with her tonight and then with their in-laws tomorrow. Now, everyone is coming to mother-in-law's tonight. Which means that I am headed over there now to help sister in law fix dinner for the crowd -- which could be upwards of 60 or 70 people, depending on how many can work it in at the last minute. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEm Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Kid's room is cleaned! My room is partially done! Downstairs is partially done! My 2 year old asked me if he helps me clean my room will I give him a dollar. I said yes and gave him his first task. His reply, " oh, that's too hard," and he ran out of the room and played with his siblings instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyThreeSons Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Laura, that sounds tough with your mother in law's health crisis. May you get through this Thanksgiving with grace and strength! Thank you. It was a long day, but we made it. My sister in law and I cooked and set up pretty much all day, as most everyone else had to work yesterday. We had aimed for eating at 6:00, but the turkey took longer than planned (doesn't it always?) and we ate at 6:30. We only had about 25 for dinner. Six of Granny's seven children were able to be there, but we didn't have most of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren -- she just wasn't up to that. A few stopped by earlier in the day, and more will be there throughout the weekend, I expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
