I'm feeling
weird. My girls are gone to S. MO for the holiday. They'll
go to Little Rock with grammy for Thanksgiving, and they'll have fun
and be happy and eat well. Brett is spending the night with a
friend, from where his dad will pick him up for the holiday where he'll
have fun and be happy and eat well. Mom and Dad are going to
Wisconsin where they'll have fun and be happy and eat well. I'll
be here.
Kevin and I have nowhere to
go for Thanksgiving. I'm 36. I've ALWAYS been at mom's, or
Kevin's mom's, or cooked for family on Thanksgiving. This year,
nothing. The kids are gone, the family is gone....we're batching
it. Yeah, we'll keep busy with putting lights on the house, etc,
but damn...I'm bummin' a bit.
It'll be OK. I have to
work Friday and Saturday. I'll busy myself with decorating the
house with Kevin. We've never owned a house before, so we're
looking forward to it. It'll be fun...Right? RIGHT?
Yeah, Fun.

- I have an amazing husband, 4 kids ranging in ages from 21-33, only one of whom still lives at home. We have 2 fat dogs and nothing about us is normal. But normal is boring, right?

I think you and Kevin should go to a kinda fancy place... just the two of you. You can afford it, without the kids.
Oh... and we might have a Thanksgiving here at my house a week late. Will that help?
OK..... If you leave right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will be here in plenty of time for the fixins here... We will have plenty ,and there is just us. Im sure the new one wont eat much.

yes decorating is fun Hey why not join some family !!!!!!!! Leave now BUT hey having alone time might be nice but I admit to having the empty nest feeling is a bad thing too. {{HUGS}}}}} Yes Share pics after you decorate.
I'm with your mother on this one. Go somewhere nice and take advantage of your alone time. Or really take advantage and have a candle lit dinner. Have something special like lobster, something you can't have with kids around. You can always have turkey next week.
I have only one piece of advice when decorating your first house. Set up a camera and just let it tape. You could win some money on America's Funniest Home Videos. lol

I third the motion....go somewhere that you wouldn't go with the kids....and by all means record this first year of decorating the new house.
I'm hearing ya....this year will be strange for us too. Going to a restaurant just doesn't seem right. And without dad will really seem weird. What is it about Thanksgiving and being 36? Sheesh. You will have a lot of fun decorating the house!!!! We are doing that this weekend too. I can't wait. Have a great Thanksgiving....or at least try to! ;o)
Oh, I feel a candle-lit Turkey dinner coming on! ;) - BArbara
P.S. Your blessings are still yours, even if they are scattered about. Happy Thanksgiving.
