Thanksgiving

Friday, November 23

So, Thanksgiving was great!  I was a little worried because it was just me, mom, and the kids.  I didn’t think we could have a good thanksgiving without having a lot of people there.  Even though I spent a lot of time in the kitchen and all day on my feet, it was great! The kids behaved well and were very helpful.  We talked about what the real meaning of thanksgiving is and what we are thankful for.  We listened to Christmas music and set up the tree! The atmosphere was light and happy! Just what I always thought the holidays should feel like. 

 I did invite Mark over.  I actually didn’t think he would stop.  He went to his mothers and they all went out to eat.  Mark showed up and me, him and my mom sat at the kitchen table and talked for an hour, hour and ½.  It was actually fun.  I don’t remember the last time I had fun with him just sitting and talking.  My mother was even in a good mood. It was great.  We didn’t argue or fight and it wasn’t even awkward.  He did mention that his skank (a.k.a. the married girlfriend) would be cooking the turkey when the kids would be there on Saturday. I totally bit my tongue. It was the holiday and I didn’t want to ruin it.  He even asked to hear it. I said it was my thanksgiving present to him.  I refuse to fight on the holidays!!
