It is a tad surreal to sit and realize that this is the Monday of Thanksgiving week. I don't know where the year has flown to. And I guess I don't mind, all things considered, but I'm in no way ready for Christmas and now that's a tad bit of extra stress to add on.
Hubby and I do have a plan for the boys, so that's something. But it's all the other little things here and there that have to be managed that we've yet to even discuss.
We'll get it sorted, I'm sure.
Today, I loaded the boys up and we headed out to Costco to brave the mania. I always end up in some kind of store the week of Thanksgiving. All told, we got what we needed (and thousands of things we didn't, because Costco) so we should be set for Thanksgiving itself.
Food for the rest of the week? Well, that may end up being a matter of creativity.
Thursday will be laid back. Just the four of us, my dad, and my sister.
I found myself hit by a wave of missing mom this morning as I was finalizing the food menu. Does it ever stop? It's lighter. Less frequent. But when it hits, it's still debilitating.
Still, for all of that, I am thankful for so much. So very, very much.
