2. Early wake-up call from chillin's who think sleep is SOOOO 5 years ago.
3. Begin Thanksgiving side dish preparations...after cleaning a wreck of a kitchen.
4. Scrape hole in bottom of pumpkin that will be used as a serving dish.
5. Allow children to 'clean dishes' in kitchen sink unattended...don't ever do that...like, ever.
6. Clean up aftermath of child labor. Use two towels, a pair of socks, and an old long-sleeve shirt.
7. Get half-way through stuffing preparations and realize we don't drink wine, and therefor have no way to open newly-purchased wine bottle for de-glazing. Send husband to neighbors to borrow one.
8. Be thankful we rescued neighbors' tiny puppy from cruel outdoors, and therefor have a relationship in which we can borrow things.
9. While waiting for bottle-opener, decide to peel potatoes, break the only peeler in the house. Regret deciding against buying a new one the day before.
10. Be thankful for tiny orange pairing knife.
11. Have several close calls with said knife and delicate finger tips.
12. Run sides over to Mom's house and pick up Thanksgiving fixings to take back home to post-fever family.
13. Panic when child has a possible reaction to pecans and scramble to find children's benadryl.
14. Decide, against my own instincts...don't ever do that either... to join family for Thanksgiving celebrations.
15. Watch child spread eagle across the pavement as she dances in joy at being able to see her Honi after all.
16. Enjoy awesome family and friends.
17. Return home, fall asleep in children's room, stay up way to late watching a show with hubs. Too early wake up call from children who think sleep is SOOOO 5 years and a day ago.
18. Call doctor to schedule appointment for strep swabs after two children complain of sore throats during breakfast...after possibly infecting every person at Family Thanksgiving ... and their much-loved babies.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Bring on Christmas!!!
