Ah.. the obligatory T-Day post. hahaha<\/p>\n
It was a pretty nice affair.\u00a0 Tongue God managed to beat me to the punch in the Thanksgiving Day texts but it DID remind me to get mine out to my lovers.\u00a0 Phat Boy jested to be about something I’d posted on FB and Sexy Voiced Omar called me his little MILFy.\u00a0 lol.\u00a0\u00a0 I didn’t hear back from Ultimate Man nor Tasty Man (strike that… as I type this I get a reply text from Tasty Man saying he wished he could be there to provide the “stuffing”) and since I’d just seen Hottie I didn’t bother sending him a text.\u00a0 heeheehee\u00a0\u00a0 And Sex God was meeting me later that day with his kids to spend T-Day with me & mine at my Mother’s.\u00a0 He’d get his Happy Thanksgiving in person!<\/p>\n
I spent the first few hours of the day going through ALL the free movie channels to set the DVR to record this holiday weekend opportunity of movie recording for the future.\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0 Others prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse and I prepare for the days of no good t.v. on the telly!<\/p>\n
I was bringing the peeled & boiled pearl onions and my salad & homemade dressing.\u00a0 I also brought some apples, crackers & cheese because the only one of us who got lunch was Luke.\u00a0 Primarily due to we all had late or big breakfasts!\u00a0 Sex God and his kids arrived right on time & my mother got him working on the white sauce for the onions.\u00a0 He did an exemplary job as they turned out delicious!\u00a0 We got the big folding tables set up as one large square table & set with plates.\u00a0 Mom tried baked yams instead of the usual mashed kind.\u00a0 Again, delicious.<\/p>\n
We had the usual guests added with my mother’s\u00a0 intern Jessica, who got the lesson of “how to make gravy” from my mother. \u00a0 I’ve had the lesson (hell, most everyone who’d had a Thanksgiving with my mother has HAD that lesson!).\u00a0\u00a0 I substituted all of her advice for a nice can of Wondra flour when I make gravy!\u00a0 Takes all the “how to” part into easy peasy.<\/p>\n
Dinner went off pretty well.\u00a0 Mom talked religion with Sex God’s son who’s recently into it.\u00a0 Luke managed to refrain from MOST of his attacks on religion.\u00a0 Conor didn’t pitch an angry fit for any reason.\u00a0 Evan didn’t sulk off either.\u00a0 Win\/Win for Mom! \u00a0 The dinner conversation was pretty boring & Mom went on and on about “how” the things were cooked.\u00a0 And it finally ended.\u00a0 Most everybody helped clean up.\u00a0 We all had desert & the evening finally ended.<\/p>\n
Sex God couldn’t stay with me as he had his kids & I have no room to house them for a night so with a kiss, a longing lustful look, he left, dropping Jessica off at her home.\u00a0 I called my Dad’s wife to see if she wanted to leftovers and she declined.\u00a0 I got the scoop on my Dad and it wasn’t as good as we’d like.\u00a0 Kinda of a sobering end to the evening (his blood pressure keeps dropping & he’s officially diabetic now.\u00a0 He was borderline before.)<\/p>\n
I think I was the only person today who mentioned what they were thankful for (I voiced I was thankful for my Dad’s health).\u00a0 Of course I couldn’t really mention ALL I was thankful for.<\/p>\n
Was I thankful for my lovers?\u00a0 Oh yes.\u00a0 My kids?\u00a0 Of course.\u00a0 That my Dad wasn’t a vegetable after his stroke?\u00a0 Oh very, very much so!<\/p>\n
But I think I’m most grateful that I’ve managed to keep my sanity these days as I struggle to juggle living within my means with 3 teenage boys on no child support, getting the kids to either deal with their emotional issues or school issues, etc so they don’t flunk or freak, be there to support my Dad & his wife, work what’s almost a full time job\u00a0 AND still have a moment or two of personal “what Heather would love to do” time.<\/p>\n
All in all… things could be a hell of a lot worse and THAT is what I’m most Thankful for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
