The status is NOT quo.

And I know how to spell definitely. My iPhone isn't letting me edit for some reason.

Hil, sorry to hear you're in the same boat.

Burrell - for me it is sad. I am the big traditionalist in my family and things changing over always make me cranky with a capital CRANK. Maybe it is just time that I do it how I want at our house just mac and me and see how that goes.

I am in a HORRIBLE mood. Other parents were commenting on it. If we can just do part of mac's homework now and I can get him in front of a movie, I think I will take a nap. I really want to clean up my house, but I need him gone for that and that won;t happen until tomorrow. grump grump grump.

I join you in grump, msb. I wish my husband were less of a wet noodle. Show some initiative, bub!

I'm trying to get pictures of Matilda in the Foofa costume before she destroys it and makes JZ's head explode.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ugh, I am sorry it is sad-making for you, msbelle. I can see that. Our holiday plans are still up in the air. Christmas usually is at our house, and that's fine by me, but I'd be happy to celebrate Thanksgiving at someone else's.

For Thanksgiving, I want to watch the parade, want the traditional food, want to watch the Cowboys play, and then lounging and board games the rest of the weekend.

For Christmas I want to decorate the tree while listening to holiday music, go shopping on the 24th and 26th, even if it's only one store, christmas eve church, traditional meal, up early for presents, all the rankin bass shows and the grinch the week leading up.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

We are Thanksgiving orphans this year. Moved too far away to spend it with family and now, with my mom gone, it would feel strange to cook a feast for just the two of us.

Those sound good to me, msbelle.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You could do the modified feast my sis and bil have done.

Turkey breast, a few sides, a pie... and buy some good bread for sammiches the next day.

I am pretty sure we have an invite for Thanksgiving if my parents do not come up, but I am not sure I can manage it. On the one hand it would be good to be around friends, on the other, I know myself and my crazy and if I don't get to see the parade and the football game, well it's unfortunate, but I know my limits. I should just embrace it and make it work here at home.
