Happy Thanksgiving to you all <333
This year I got the chance to cook Thanksgiving dinner for most of my family. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Usually each year we go to my Aunts, previous years it was my sister and I together making the dinner but this year my aunt & cousin came here and I made Auntie stay sitting while I prepared the whole meal. There was me, my son, my nephew & niece, my aunt and cousin :) Although my aunt & cousin had to leave just as the food was done to go to my other cousin Brads. (that kind of irritates me but oh well what can ya do?)
I took some extra pain meds to be able to do this so I'm a little more loopy than usual but I'm not hurting too bad surprisingly. I only got about 3 1/2 hrs sleep last night, got up and put the turkey in the oven by 10am. took a short nap for about 2hrs, showered, dressed up a little and dinner was done by 4:30pm. I made turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, seasoned vegetables, cranberry sauce and gravy, with pecan pie and a pumpkin pie with whipped topping for dessert.
My boyfriend (I love saying that word) Tony had mentioned last night when he was here that he might come over for dinner since his mom doesn't cook holiday meals much anymore but he texted to let me know his mom wanted him to spend time with her so I wished him a wonderful day with her and he said he's going to call me later :)
The things I'm thankful for are God for providing for me to live my life as comfortably as possible, my family & friends for whom without them, I couldn't have gotten through these last couple years that were the lowest in my entire life.
My Aunt Lizz for being there for me always, being like the mother I never had, helping however she can, encouraging me and loving me endlessly, for always being able to put a smile on my face and loving hugs that give me strength when I'm at my weakest.
My sister, words cannot express enough the love I feel for her, she is my best friend, through the years we have shared the best of times and the worst and through it all she is always there to listen, love and support me, she is so amazing, who even when she was at her lowest, still helped me out as much as she was able. I can't even begin to thank you enough.
My son, who I love dearly and am thankful he is here to help me with things I can't do for myself anymore or to give me hugs and try to cheer me up when I'm down, for his caring heart and his quirky sense of humor.
My nephew, I love my nugumhead, with his caring heart and constant concern about how I feel and his help around the home when I need and warm hugs he offers daily.
My niece,I love her very much despite the fact that a lot of the time we don't get along, she is there to help me out when I've needed her and can still make me go into mommy mode with her because she comes to my home whenever she's sick or down.
To my friends for being there for me also during this rough time, for listening to my rants during my up times and down, for your encouragement & support.
And I'm thankful I met Tony, he is so sweet, tender, strong & sexy and he makes me feel like such a lady. I've read and heard about men like him but never in my life thought I would be blessed with having someone like him in my life and now that I do, I never want to be without him. He is an amazing man, very talented in his music, devoted father and his hugs make me feel like home :)
