Well, it is almost 9pm. Things seemed like they went well. It was kind of nice to get some things set last night. I got one turkey done last night and did the other one this morning. It was a hectic day between today and yesterday.

Yesterday I did some prep work and we got the tables set up for today. Once things were done, then I cooked the 1st turkey. It only took about 4 hours since it was about 13lbs. I then waited for Jason to get home. He got home about 2:45am. I then talked with him for a bit and we went to bed. I then got up at 6am to prep the next turkey. I had it in the oven by 6:15am. Since it was 26 lbs, it was going to take some time.

I then kept an eye on the turkey, basting it when needed. It was then time to get a bath and get ready with the rest of the stuff. I was glad Jason helped me peel the potatos, otherwise I may have been there for quite some time. We finished up with the rest of the things and our guests started to arrive. Next thing you know, everyone is eating and then hanging out. The kids were playing, family was talking. I was able to slip away for a bit to get the dishes washed. It was nice to then sit and relax with everyone for a bit. I then made sure Jason was getting some sleep and then hung out with everyone.

While all of this was going on, I also made sure that our laundry got done, since I was off from work today. I wont have much to do for the weekend now. I have to work tomorrow, but it should hopefully be an ok day. I am just hoping Jason will be ok with his back and neck being sore. Hopefully he will be ok and then once work is over, he can come home and relax. I will have to pick up some more bread so we can have some leftover turkey sandwiches. It will hopefully be a good day and not too bad of a weekend.

Well, I will go for now. Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I hope to post more very soon. Until then, hope all is well.

Well, it has been quite some time since I have posted. Things are always so hectic. Work, family, house, etc. Trying to get things ready for Thanksgiving is also consuming some of my time. There are also basketball practices and games for both Jason Jr. and Janeen.

I kind of have been stressing out lately. I just start getting sad around these times. I know December is going to be a difficult month for me. I try to put up a good front, but sometimes I just shatter. Jason has been good to me in these times. Well, I hope everyone has a great holiday and hopefully I will be able to post to let everyone know how our Thanksgiving Day went.
