Turkeyday!

Thanksgiving was amazing! It is easily my favorite holiday. I don’t even like turkey all that much. A typical Thanksgiving includes everyone helping out in the kitchen (men included), a nap during the Cowboys game and name calling during the UT/A&M game. After that there was always a game of poker, which we haven’t done in a long time and everyone went home with arm loads of leftovers. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the leftovers we had this year.

I flew home Friday morning but didn’t get home until after dark. On the way home we made a pit stop at Cabela’s.

Weston and Caitlin still had school Monday and Tuesday. I watched Caitlin get on the bus for the first time and just about died. What ever will I do with my own kids?

Thursday was Thanksgiving and somehow I made it through the day with out a nap (talk about cranky).

Friday Mom and I went shopping. Black Friday is my time to stock up on movies, seriously have you seen my movie collection? Random but good. We played volleyball up at the church and I hurt my ankle, but what’s new?

Saturday we celebrated Caitlin’s birthday a day early so I wouldn’t be rushed for time flying home. She told us when she went back to school on Monday she would be in first grade because now she is 6. I love that girl! She got a doll house and some clothes. I got her Kung Fu Panda. I wanted to giver her Tinkerbell but dad dropped the ball on that one and got it for her the week it came out.

Sunday we left church early. Mom and I are bad about that. We went to grandma and papa’s for lunch and to see Trenton. I watched Trenton over the summer; he’s seriously one of the cutest kids. My flights all got delayed so I didn’t make it into Provo until about 1:30 pm and then I had work and school to look forward to.

I was seriously stressing this week and most of it was probably self-inflicted. I tried to finish a paper early but my laptop has a nasty virus and I didn’t get it done until the early hours of the morning. So now I’m dead tired and still have classes. This weekend I am going to try to force myself to get things done so that next week I can focus on getting ready for finals.
