The outcome

Well, I got a lot done, but my BIL didn't end up coming over for Thanksgiving, and I couldn't get everything done, sadly, but it didn't matter. It was just us for lunch and I did a turkey et al. Then we went to my parents for a dinner and more turkey. Many of my aunts and uncles and cousins were there, and we have a huge family, so there was much variety in food and people. So it was fun. What a bunch of partiers. We left at 10 and many were still hanging out.

So I didn't shop on Friday at all. There was nothing compelling me to get up early, so I slept in. I've had a busy weekend though with a basketball tournament for Nick and then soccer for the twins today. Nick lost every. single. game. It was very sad. They were in the top bracket though in the tournament and I've been assured that the team does well in the regular season. I sure hope so. FTR, Nick is extremely tall, 5'11' at the age of 12. He's the tallest child in his grade in the district I've been told. So of course the powers that be are interested in him for basketball. Up until this year, he'd never played in a competitive league. I got to thinking and realized that we needed to get him and his brothers better training, so Nick made a select team in the local league and the twins are on a rec team (we missed tryouts and Nick only got on because of his height.) The good news is that the twins won their indoor game. They are the number one and number two goalies. Figures, doesn't it? So tonight I had the priveledge of listening to my twins talk trash with each other about their supposed mistakes at goalie. Nothing like brotherly love.

Christmas/Thanksgiving plan

This week I'll focus on Thanksgiving. Today I plan to straighten the downstairs. Tommorrow the upstairs. Then Wednesday we will clean and grocery shop. Thursday AM will be all cooking. Christmas planning will start Thursday.

I have many other things to do this week, so this will be a challenge.
