Here I was ranting and raving about having Turkey for Thanksgiving and I ended up having to settle for a small scale Thanksgiving Dinner here at home with my family.
I'm not complaining...don't get me wrong. I loved being able to spend Thanksgiving Day with my family (minus Devyn ~ he was with his dad) and enjoy the blessings it brought us. The only thing I do have to complain about is this...
You see, my side of the family (i.e. my sister, my aunt, my uncle & cousins) were all to celebrate on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. That was the day we could all manage to be together. Well, it just so happens that I was not feeling any better than "manageable" and to top it off...3 of my children were down with the congestion, runny noses & irritability too.
There was no way I was going to subject my family to our germs. And well, to be honest...those little ones & I really needed to rest and not have to endure countless hours of playing, laughing, eating great food, enjoying good conversation and numerous hugs from family...geesh.
