[QUOTE="Star*, post: 308694, member: 4964"] Isn't this odd? I was thinking about our own Thankskgiving plans coming up as a.) we have fumes for cash and b.) we are on totally strict new lifestyle that does NOT include the FEAST. So I thought - I think this year I'm going to go dish it out at a homeless shelter. MY FAMILY WAS HORRIFIED....and I sat there thinking "well if that's what THEY want...you know, a dinner I suppose I could find the money make a list clean the house plan a meal do a deep clean on the kitchen and dining room cheat on my lifestyle eating plan because omg how much will power have I stay up late the night before baking get up early that day and cook, cook, clean, wash dishes wash more dishes, set out my linens hook up the tv in the kitchen.....no we didn't buy a converter so that's out this year thanks to sattelite....drat no parade....that's a tradition and now it's out well crud now I don't even want to cook without the Macy's parade .....:angry:Okay get over it - back to the menu Take it all out - put it on the table Get everyone together Cut the bird Serve it up Say the blessing Light the candles Bake the rolls Get them out and in less than 20 minutes - IT"S OVER. Then I get to clean up Wash dishes alone Put it all away in the tupperware Pack it in the fridge Debone the chicken Take the trash to the back door And by the time I get all the pans, pots and bowls, baking stuff put up and everything packed in the fridge, wipe down the table and soak my linen ? SOME ding=dong is ready for LEFTOVERS.....and up from THEIR nap....(LIKE THEY DIDN"T HAVE A NAP ALL DAY OR WERE WATCHING THE PARADE yelling MOM MOM come see....) And then I dunno - I finally get to sit down with a smidge of pie and sugar free cool whip, blow my diet.......and for WHAT? "Great dinner honey? Great dinner Mom?" Okay we're leaving now....see ya.. Thanks." And out of all of that - I think.........NOPE Not this year - THIS YEAR It's MOM'S YEAR.....and since I never get help - NEVER have one offer of "I'll wash that you go sit and relax." and it's all on me? All I can say is - WEight watchers had better make a good turkey dinner because it's what's for dinner - I'm going to the homeless shelter - and stick to my lifestyle, not doing a dish, have people to chat with.....and when it's done? I'm going home and not feel a bit of remorse about who didn't get what flipping crescent roll. THE END.....you? You do what you want ......but I think you should stop trying to please everyone......and get a Swansons TV turkey dinner for you, the hubby, your daughter and each dog and watch the Parade and call-er good. If son wants George to see G-ma THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE - YOU ARE THE ELDERLY PEOPLE =Dang. :knockedout: :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
