Ahhh Thanksgiving is over now and what fun it was. Cooking all say and spending maybe thirty minutes eating. Since it is just Hubby, the kids, and I for the holidays we have tons of leftovers too. So we are going to ham it up this week (yes, ham, I cannot cook turkey for the life of me. I blame the stove). Over all I can say I am extremely thankful for all that I have received this year. Yes times are hard and we have had our ups and downs but we have each other and we are comfortable in that.
I miss our families this time of year though. Especially the wild Kalita bunch who always throw one heck of a get-together. I remember going to family gatherings as a child and I cherish those memories. I am saddened that the kids are not going to experience that with us moving halfway across the country and all that jazz. I would love to be able to, one day, travel home for the holidays even if it would be a zoo doing so. I have always wanted a big, close knit family, even if some of them drive you nuts. I wish my family got along better with my husbands family so we can have one huge gathering… Oh well. Best not dwell on such things.
On a side note David and I ventured out yesterday (black friday) with the kids. It was already the afternoon so we figured we would be safe because all the back friday shoppers go early and would be home by then… yeah, I forgot, people here do not wake early for anything. It was a mad house for the most part but I was able to pick up two little gifts for David and a little something for Logan's teacher from last year who is due any day now. Over all it wasn't that bad (Aside from the kids constant need for the bathroom and the crowdedness that triggered my claustrophobia and anxiety). Poor David is such a trooper.
Today is grocery shopping day. Yay… NOT.
