Yes, good title eh? I'm sure no one else has used it today ;)
Thanksgiving went well today, as well as can be expected given that my sis had a tummy ache, I had a slight headache, my mum was complaining about her back hurting... hmmm...
I think we should have abandoned the cooking, grabbed some fresh fruits and veggies and played board games whilst sitting around the coffee table in the living room... yeah, that wouldev' been great....
Anywho, we had dinner, most of us helped the exception would be my bro. DJBC... who is obsessed with being obsessed. I've serious doubts about his sanity... (someone call the White Coats from the funny farm)
My Ex. came to dinner, it was odd having him there. He sat by my dad, well they are buddies anyway.
We all stated what we are grateful for, feeling slightly awkward, I forgot quite a few things but what I said was sincere. My sister was sincere as well... my kids started goofing off but I told them to be serious and reminded them of all they had to be grateful for and then they came around. DJBC sounded completely sincere but as I doubt his sanity I can't take his word for anything. My brother Ev. was sincere, absolutely! My brother Jono was sincere... My ex said something or other, I'm not sure exactly what because no matter what he says I'm not sure how sincere or truthful he is, unfortunately... but that's how it is. My mom was sincere, and my dad was so sincere he was shaking... it was weird, he actually brought up my Grandpa and the sacrifices that he made for us and the country by his service in the military. Grandpa was wounded twice on his tour of duty, once on D-Day during the invasion, then he was sent to England (I believe) to recover and then he went back to serve again.
Unfortunantly I had to go check on the progress of the little girls, (my nieces 3&4 and my baby daughter who is 3) who have a history of wrecking things in the bathroom.... I heard noises from that direction but found that they were just arguing about who could go potty first... hehe... and I ended up bringing baby daughter downstairs to use the potty. I wanted to hear dad but duty called.... ;)
After dinner we cleaned up and I was able to talk to my little sister, well we hid in her room and left the kids for a while... mom got ticked off at me but I had to grab the chance to talk when I could take it. I was glad to talk to K, she's got a really great head on her shoulders. Hmmm, no smartalec jokes about heads here please... ;)
