[QUOTE="Lil, post: 640529, member: 17309"] I feel bad...although Jabber tells me it's okay...I really hadn't realized how strongly he felt about this. I hadn't been on the board until just a couple minutes before I saw this. I guess my thinking was...it's just dinner. We'll probably pick them up, they'll eat, we'll have pie, then we'll take them back to the shelter. Did I want my son to come and actually hang out for a bit and watch TV and visit and try to have a few pleasant hours? Yes. But he called to ask me a phone number for a job app today and when I talked to him I asked if he really wanted J to come and he said yes. I said, "It's not just that he wants to come, YOU want him to come?" He said, "Yeah, it's cool." So I said yes. It's Thanksgiving...a day when you eat lots. I'm not working that hard, I'm sticking the ham in the crock pot, sweet potatoes the same way, and making instant scalloped potatoes. Probably mac & cheese because my kid likes it. Some green beans and a pie. I've always wished I could host family Thanksgiving. I'm a "more the merrier" kind of person - with notice so I can prepare. Even if it's people I don't give a hoot about. I love to cook for people, it actually kind of sucks cooking for two. Heck, I'd feed every homeless person in town if I could afford to feed them. (Yes, I know there's probably a turkey dinner waiting for them there.) So yeah...not happy he's coming, but I don't really mind that much. But now I feel bad for not asking Jabber 1st. :( [/QUOTE]
