H is working until 2:30 so I have most of the day to myself. I'm cranky because I didn't sleep at all last night, so that's probably a good thing. Haha.

So is everyone fat and happy? The food was awesome. I will gladly pay myself on the back for that one! I'm dragging ass now, just a few more hours until the kids go to bed. I'm so damn sleepy. (see prior post) I never did make it to work. Oh well the day off with my family was nice, even if I did have to take a 5 hour energy drink to enjoy it. lol. Dh is at work from mow until ?. because he works retail and BLACK FRIDAY! I'm not going out shopping tomorrow fuck that noise. What about you girls? Are ya'll shopping? I hate people and generally tend to avoid those sort of crowds this time of year.
No Thanksgiving food for me, unfortunately. I don't have the energy to get dressed and travel to watch other people eat their food, so I'm just curled up on the couch with the dog. I've been perusing the internet for deals, but haven't found anything worth buying. I have no plans to do any in person shopping because there is nothing I need badly enough to deal with all of that.
I actually feel guilty for even attempting to shop in a store today because my dad works retail, and he has to work until midnight tonight and then again a long shift tomorrow. I always thought it was cruel that employees don't get a break, especially those who are seniors.
We had a great day and now we're fat and happy. Even E was happy all day, but I attribute that to his super long nap during dinner, and the fact that he was constantly entertained all day by various family members.
Happy thanksgiving! We had dinner at my aunt's house, it was delicious! I ate way too much food and drank too much wine, but that's what the holidays are for, right?! I'm spending the night at my parents' house tonight and going shopping with my mom at 6am tomorrow. We never do any of the crazy stuff like best buy, just go to the mall.
Well, we had to switch up our plans today BC the Chinese restaurant we were going to eat at changed their mind about being open today. So we had that yesterday for lunch and then today I ran to Walmart and picked up food for a dinner tonight. We had rotisserie chicken, potatoes, stuffing and peas.

Happy Thanksgiving! My H and I took Cara to the zoo this morning for the first time. It was great. It was 60 degrees here today and a great day for the zoo. She was so good!
This evening we went out to eat with my parents, aunt & uncle, brother, his girlfriend and her brother, and my grandma. Cara was a little overwhelmed at first but did great! She ate some turkey and mashed potatoes and a bite of pumpkin pie!
Of course, as soon as we put her in the car seat to go home, she started screaming. I think all the excitement from the day caught up with her. She screamed halfway home- it was awful. But thankfully she was okay at home and for bedtime.
My husband put out the last of our Christmas lights when we got home. I've been shopping online throughout the day. I'm going nowhere as far as shopping goes tomorrow.

We're on our way home. I haaaate that I have to work tomorrow, lol. I'll just be thankful though that it's not retail! I don't miss that at all!
We had a good day minus E being super cranky. I think he's teething so he was just really whiny. But the food was delicious and we had fun! H is apparently going shopping tomorrow but I'll just look online. If I have time of course. Maybe I'll wait for cyber Monday, lol.

Happy thanksgiving!
We ended up inviting a friend from college over for dinner, she didn't have anyplace else to go. DS just met her a few weeks ago and adores her, so it was great. We did a simple meal, watched the recorded thanksgiving day parade, part of the dog show, took down fall decorations, and put up all the Christmas stuff, besides outdoor lights. It's been rainy all day, so a great day to stay home.
I just sent DH to Target to see how it was, so I'll be getting texts on that soon. We don't usually do thanksgiving/Black Friday shopping but we had nothing better to do. It must not have been too crazy or I told him to just come home.
We had dinner at my mom's house at noon. Everything went well. G did awesome and loved all the new foods.
I've been trying to find deals online but not overly excited about anything. I ordered new sheets online (I ripped ours last time I made the bed) and new pillows (can't remember the last time I replaced them). So I've managed to spend money even though I'm not excited about it.
My DH did order a new computer. His Christmas present this year. I usually surprise him with something but he has been getting by with a barely functional computer for at least a year. We decided to just pull the trigger and get something ordered. He is very excited.
I ordered some stuff from Carter's but that's all I had time to look at last night. Poor H got really sick last night so it's a good thing he's off work today. He was going to go shopping but that's probably not going to happen now

I hope he feels better soon!
I'm browsing for some online shopping but not finding much so far.

I'm just catching up since I didn't GBCN while we were gone....hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a nice holiday with DH's family. My 2 dishes (broccoli cheese casserole and apple pie) were the only 2 things to be completely eaten.
