This time of year is so busy that sometimes you wonder if
you can catch your breath. It’s such a
fun time with all the holidays, decorations, family festivities, hustle and
bustle, and such. It’s also very
difficult for me without my mom. It was
this time two years ago when she was so sick.
Thanksgiving always really reminds me of her because that’s one of the
last good times we had together as a family.
This was the third consecutive year that I’ve hosted my
family at my house. Dad claims since I
have two ovens that I get to host.
Nonetheless, it’s fun….
Fifteen minutes before the food was supposed to come out of the oven it occurred to me that I didn't cook the peas or butter beans. My brain has moved elsewhere I think.
After everyone left and my house was cleaned, I hopped in the car at 4:00 to get Jennifer for some Black Friday shopping. I figured the Rebels would lose the Egg Bowl, so I didn't bother watching. Surprisingly, they won, and I was home by 10:30.
Ford- He talks so much. I'm wondering if there's a support group for kids who feel the need to speak every waking minute of their life. I'd sign him up. He's wrapping up this semester and his lowest grade is a 96 thus far. He is also very into his looks...notice those sweat bands!
Bitty- We're still waiting on the glasses. His eyes turn in towards his nose when he's focusing on you. He's still in his needy stage and wants me all day long. He might need an intervention. Bit still loves math and request math problems daily. He can add numbers up to the millions place on paper.
Annie- Oh my gosh...the terrible two's, the horrible three's...whatever! I mean she won't listen. It's her way or the highway. When I get on to her she looks at me stupid, calls me "yes sir", won't listen, etc. It's going to be a challenging ride until she straightens out. Notice I didn't say when I thought that would be!
