[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 391723, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I've decided this isn't the year that I'll be attending Thanksgiving with my family. I'm having way too many personal "hauntings" from 2 years ago that my mind isn't completely on task. Saying that, having downsized the trip to my Dad's house it's just kt & myself. If that remains the case she & I will make home made calzones or a big plate of my husband's recipe for salsa & the most complete plate of nachos you can imagine. kt & I decided we would start our Christmas baking at that point. On the sidelines though, kt has been trying to convince me to invite her boyfriend & his mother for a more traditional meal. I might be willing to have boyfriend & mom over ~ don't want to do the traditional meal. I'm thinking the calzone's instead. I did order groceries that should be here any second for a traditional meal if the mood strikes. My housework is neither here nor there. Being just kt & myself it's being taken care (except for kt's laundry). Not touching it - I think she's stuffing her dirty things in the crawl spaces/attic upstairs. If she's stinky nasty her boyfriend won't want much to do with her & I like that. I find this season to be one of mixed blessings. I take things day by day; give as much as I can or am willing to do at the moment. I have few expectations ~ the tweedles hopes are high this year. It's to be the typical 16 y/o gift certificate for clothes at the local mall though. kt loves clothes; wm will do his best to sell the certificate so he can by video games. I feel blessed that we have survived another year - not so much in survival mode, more in the real feelings, making choices mode. Especially for myself. I will make it through this season by saying no to what I know will cause anxiety, fear or anger. I will be thankful for that ability. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
