Why so negative? Well, I already wrote this post. And then I was trying to add a picture to the post on my iPhone and somehow managed to delete the post entirely. Needless to say I'm a little pissed off right now. Might have shed a couple tears, too. I don't want to try to remember what I wrote and I just want to relax and watch some of my shows! So much for being carefree and unproductive <---- you would understand that if my other blog post had not been DELETED. Operator error (and a smart[donkey synonym]phone) strikes again.
*sob*
Okay, I'm done now. I was talking about all the lovely Thanksgiving things we did, like sit around and talk until late night/early morning, play games, and eat lots and lots of turkey (and the fixin's.) We actually had 3 different birds. One was roasted, one was brined first, then roasted, and then one was deep fried...and they were all amazing and delicious. No one turkey was better than the other because they all tasted unique. Yum...why do we only eat turkey for holidays? *dreams of eating turkey on a daily basis* Why not? Chicken is SO overrated.
I did not take pictures of this deliciousness, however, because I was not thinking...I was on my Thanksgiving break...it was only after I was almost finished roasting my turkey (I did the brined, then roasted version...via Pioneer Woman) that I thought, "Gee, this would have been a great thing to take pictures of for my blog!" It was really pretty...and delicious. In fact, the only picture I took the entire break was this one:
Anthony with his cousin having a staring contest...they are 8 weeks apart. And yes, that is a laundry basket (okay, TWO laundry baskets) full of clean and folded clothes...everyone was here, so I didn't want to put it away! Go ahead, judge me...I know you left your folded, clean laundry out, too...it wouldn't be life if that hadn't happened (maybe not this week, but I know you did sometime last week/last month/last year/at least once in your better-than-average life.)
After Thanksgiving we kicked the fall decorations to the curb and lovingly welcomed in the much-anticipated Christmas decorations. My hunk-a-hunk-a-burnin'-love LOVES Christmas, so he is always super excited to decorate for it. So he actually did (almost) all the decorating (while I watched from a reclined position on the sofa.) We have the inside pretty much finished now and we will get outside lights put up soon (probably this weekend!)
There's my hunk putting on the garland. About halfway through the tree decorating he realized we did not have enough hooks with which to hang the ornaments. So we bundled up, packed the kids in the truck, and went to Walmart! I know, Walmart has a bad rap...but it's a fun family excursion we do and we LIKE it. What's a week without a wonderful wandering within Wally World? <alliteration>
We got the kids shoes, boots, and slippers. We got eggs, candles, and makeup. And then we remembered what we were really there for. "Wait, don't we need hooks for the tree ornaments?" "Oh, right, I knew we were here for some reason." Happens to us every time.
No, we did not spend money on these amazing kid-sized recliners, but they were so cool! Love the holiday season! And I say holiday to include Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year...those are the holidays that I celebrate during this time of year. I try to be as politically incorrect as possible when it comes to THANKSGIVING and CHRISTmas time.
So there you go. My blog post. Again (holds back growl in her throat). I got back to working out faster than I got back to my blog...
...It's my fault, but I'm going to blame the kids. Isn't that what motherhood is all about? "Oh, I couldn't do X because the kids were/did Y." Love those munchable monkeys of mine.
