Procrastination is one of my main weaknesses. I put off going to the grocery store today when I should have gone. I just didn’t want to spend my Sunday going from store to store to find deals. And actually the prices of groceries depresses me. I just feel like dealing with it. I’ll go tomorrow.

By the dozens
By staying up most the night baking Christmas cookies for the kids to decorate, I realized that I have way too many than we will ever eat. This coming week, my daughter will be going to the old folks homes, as she calls them, to Christmas carol with her choir. I’m thinking about getting together small plates of cookies or little “bundles” of them for her and the girls to give out also. It would be nice to share them.
Let the cooking begin
Okay, I think I have everything I need to start cooking for tomorrow. In fact, I do believe I went into cooking for an army shopping mode, once I got into the stores. Why do I do that?? I don’t even know which kid or who is actually showing up tomorrow for dinner. Oh well, there will be plenty of left overs.
Small Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving isn’t going to be a big deal like it has been every other year and it makes me rather sad. I love the preparing and cooking for two days to have it all over with in about 45 min. tops, even though I used to complain about it a bit. My kids are growing up and it’s hit me full force. The oldest will be going to her husband’s family’s. My oldest son is going up North with his best buddy and my youngest son is going to his girlfriend’s aunt’s house. That leaves my youngest daughter, my husband and myself, since my mom will be going to my sisters. It’s too far for us to drive there unless we rented a hotel. So, I’m wondering if I should even cook this year.
Getting ready for Thanksgiving
To me, Thanksgiving is special. It’s not about the food, since I cook for three days and it’s all over in 32 minutes…yes, once I did indeed time it. Thanksgiving is a day that I can think back while my family is at the table and remember all of the things I have to be thankful for, despite of the rough times. This year, like last year, my youngest daughter will be saying the Thanksgiving prayer, and it means a lot to me. So, I’m doing my shopping and planning, but also remembering the little things I’m thankful for, while I’m getting my supplies.
