Come on Turkey Day!

This is the first Thanksgiving I've actually been looking forward too in a long time. Why you ask? (hmmm...I just realized I almost always start my blog by asking myself a rhetorical question. Or am I asking my audience the rhetorical question? hmmm...*insert sound of head tapping*) Well, this is the first Thanksgiving that I can recall where I'm actually staying home and just relaxing -- for the most part. And boy do I need it! So does Kelsey for that matter.

Jennifer, one of the gals that Kels works with at Pier 1, and her family have graciously invited us to "sup" with them on Thanksgiving Day, which is most excellent and I'm really looking forward to seeing how other families celebrate the day. One thing I will certainly miss is my kiddos on this Turkey Day, as they are in Chicago with their mother visiting her family. But, I'll call them and gobble through the phone Turkey Day morning...

I have Thursday and Friday off. Kelsey, however, has to work on Friday, so I'll likely take the opportunity to do some Day-After-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas, get-ready-for-the-mad-rush, oh-what-a-discount shopping on Friday. I have shopping to do for the kiddos, Kels, friends and family...so I'll have plenty to do. BUT --ultimately, I'm going to try to slow down and enjoy the free time as much as I can. No hockey, no rehearsals, no work requirements...just me, Kels, Doogan and the looming holiday season. Do I smell pumpkin pie & cinnamon?

Happy Holidays to all...have a super Turkey Day!
