Happy Thanksgiving!

Don't worry little fella, no turkey at our house this year. My family loves the turkey breasts but they were just too expensive. So we are going to have chicken and dumplings, dressing, and all the other traditional stuff, just no turkey. Everyone okay with that, they love chicken and dumplings.

I thought I would go ahead and wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! The next 5 days will be busy around our house and I may not get to post for a while.

Our plans for the next few days are to spend tomorrow getting the house and ourselves ready to go to visit my hubby's apartment Friday. That way Thanksgiving day can be spent having fun and decorating for Christmas. Friday we plan to take some furniture to my hubby's apartment and spend a few days there. I hope to do a little Christmas shopping and maybe some ice skating.

We have always spent the Friday after Thanksgiving decorating the house for Christmas, watching Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase and eating left overs. But this year we will be doing all that on Thanksgiving Day, and then we are off to hubby's place.

So far I have almost all of Poogie's Christmas presents. Just a few small things to get. She was easy because everything she wanted was for her American Girl doll, so I just ordered it online.

TT has made it hard this year. He doesn't even have a list yet. It is about to drive me crazy. I finally got him to pick out a few PSP games last weekend, but that is it. He really wanted a Wii or PS3 but those just aren't in our budget this year. Sigh. I hate budgets. I wanted a Wii too so I could play the boxing game.

This will be a year of no real presents for my hubby and I. That usually wouldn't bother me but we didn't get presents for our anniversary either. Those are two times during the year that I can get something nice and not feel guilty about it. I hope next year is better.

I feel bad even whining about no presents when the economy is so bad. I fear it will get even worse, but I'm like a kid at Christmas. I like presents too.

On a happy note I wish all of you a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.

The wait is finally over!!!

YES! I finally got to see Twilight this afternoon and it was so worth the wait. As usual it did not even come close to be as good at the book, but it was still a good movie.

I was giggling like a girl when Edward walked into the lunchroom for the first time. I loved all the actors who were in the film. I think they did a great job of capturing the important essence of each character.

I wanted to see it with my hubby but since he was away working I took TT and two of his best buddies. I think they enjoyed the movie even thought they were three of maybe five guys in the theater. I don't think that bothered them much;)

A Better Day.

Today was a much better day. I spoke with my hubby last night after I posted and we both decided that if there is anyway possible that we should keep homeschooling the kids, no public school! That took a load off of my shoulders. We have a plan and hopefully it will work for us financially so that I don't have to return to work.

Thanks to all my friends both online and those that I see in person that have listened to my drama. It's nice to have peeps to chat with. It helps. So thanks ladies you know who you are.
