Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fat and sassy

 

I am so thankful this year that hubby was able to enjoy the day with us.

I am thankful that all my family had a happy place to go.

I am thankful that I woke up this morning.

I am thankful that you my Loyal 5 are here reading this.

I am thankful that you woke up this morning.

I am thankful there is health in my family again and that the fear is gone.

I am thankful for love

I am thankful for a roof over my head.

 

To put it plainly I am thankful for everything. I am thankful for my life and my children and EVERONE that surrounds me.

 

The birthdays went without a hitch. And when I can get my computer to act right I will get on there and get out a few pictures to you all. Till than you can always go to mom’s or sis’s to see the pictures that they have. The cake pictures will be there too…. I am tired from the week that I have had. Let me see… Sunday I cooked dinner for 13 and dressed up a cake the night before staying up WAY TO LATE so that it would be done. Than on Monday I was doing 72 cupcakes for the kids to share in their classes. I will get s few pictures of those soon. Than it was on to the finishing touches of the next cake. THAN I cooked for a total of 15 for dinner and than we had cake and sent them all home. 😉 than on Tuesday.

 

Hubby had his mainline taken out. After I got him home and relaxed after his surgery. I rushed over to #2 boys school. They had already cooked so I was there to help with all the other stuff. Decorating the table and serving and … and….and… CLEAN UP TOO!

 

Than Wednesday I thought I will have the day to myself. Boy #1 forgot his meds so I had to drive tot he school. Than I got the mail and their was a surprise there that wasn’t a happy one. It landed me on the phone for the whole day dealing with CRAP up to my eyeballs. Now that the headache is to a dull ache we will get it all taken care of another day. So I didn’t start in on my cakes and pies till WAY LATE. Because than I had to wait till kids were asleep instead of doing them while they were in school. So a friend came and kidnapped me and took me shopping. Nothing for me she just wanted someone to be with. And this is were the cool part comes in.

 

she asked me to make her a few special things in exchange for her paying for the flannel for the kids outfits for Christmas. I am so excited this morning we went and picked out the fabric on her dime.; )) So I made that Wednesday night 2 pineapple upside down cakes, 1 peach cobbler, 1 apple/cranberry pie, 2 pumpkin pies + 3 stars with the left overs ;), and 1 cherry pie. SO I was up well into the morning getting all that done.

 

Than we were up thanksgiving morning bright and early. I got to making breakfast. A warm pot of bear mush and than onto baking… and yelling at the kids to stay out of the kitchen it was too hot for them. Or so I kept telling them. I made stuffed peppers, yams with marshmallows, baked yams (like baked mashed potatoes) ,I took 4 of the deserts that I made. And than I bakes 48 rolls out of the Better homes and gardens cook book. I LOVE THAT BOOK! Most of all my really GOOD stuff comes from there or from Lo** * G *

 

Than we had a fun day at the church. We watched a movie on the big screen in the sanctuary and we all played games in the commons. We had so much fun the people we were with were understanding that we were slow and LATE. I tell you I have turned into the R…. they were always late. * G* for everything it was a joke if you were later than them. Now WE ARE… every time * G* A great time was had by all. And with it being such a big building the kids had room and so did we. They were not under our feet at all and they had a great time.

 

I hope and pray that your thanksgiving was just as rewarding as ours was. And that you have another wonderful day today.

 

Kids from all over are out seeing Santa as I type. I am skipping. I have to give myself a break. BUT for the fireworks and the parade tonight… we will be there. Till than I am resting. I was at Joanns at 5:30 this morning so that I could get the 99 cents on my fabric. So I am tired. Talk to you all soon.
