Thanksgiving week!

Well..due to my job...I did have to work Thanksgiving..which was depressing, but I did work until 1:30am and then up at 5:30am for my shopping extravaganza with Heather & my Mom. My Mom sent a plate with Kev, and I got to see them and the boys....hospital turkey loaf...is just not as good as YOUR MOM'S TURKEY DINNER! Heather and her pretzel salad, did not disappoint...and I was SO excited to see it included on my plate. And, it did not melt due to the chill in the air, those who know me closest know that food touching is something I do not deal well with. (just another quirk!) My close friend Giselle went into labor in the am, we watched her girls Gabby and Kiana until 1pm, and when the boys visited we ran up, and little Nathan Diebler had just been born! He's adorable! Giselle looked amazing...I know I looked like crap after I pushed a baby out, but she looked great! On Friday, I had another meal, with Kev's family..and it was great. Kev had to work, but my nephews Jared, Kyle, Marilyn, Jeff and Kevin's parents were all there with a stop in by Nona (Kev's grandma) and we ate a traditional meal...after I spilt a glass of red wine on myself, the table, and Ian's plate! Certainly sleep deprivation was setting in! ! We played a few games, and just relaxed. Then I went home to finish my painting...I just wanted to be done! That is a task one without sleep should NOT do! I ended up with more paint on myself than on the wall. I laid my foot on the lid, which when I went for my massage with Marilyn and Marge the next day...made for interesting conversation! The therapist said "well, I am certain paintitis is not contagious!" I certainly get the award this weekend for trying to SHOVE as much as I could into a weekend!!! Hope you all got a good laugh! I know I did!!!
