Wow I forget how long a day Thanksgiving is.

I started at 5:45am and went full blast

till crawling into bed at 11:30pm.

It was a very productive day for me not only

do I have enough food to feed the family for

the next few days I also found my kitchen.

It was lost but now is found.

It was bad enough in the first place but

add the contents of the back porch, ( we

put down carpet back there and it is

amazing), I got a new to me China Cabinet

and side board from my sister so I had

to clean out the cabinet I had in the kitchen,

(one of those black hole things), and all

the shoes waiting to decide where to put

them.

It took over 4 hours of sifting

to finally declutter and get rid of

stuff. One thing was Tupperware. It always

makes me ponder when I sort out the Tupperware.

Lids that don't match container and containers

with no lids. It is like the socks with no mates.

A mystery that will never be solved.

I also found gadgets and dodads that I haven't

used in 10 years. When all is done with the

decluttering throughout the house Salvation

Armies trailer better be empty when I pull up.

My in laws ended up coming here for dinner.

They were not doing anything and were just

waiting for Saturdays get together at Marks.

Yea right not!!!!

It was nice to have her come down and ooo and

aww over what we have accomplished the past

few weeks since last she was here.

We pick away and do things here and there

and don't really get the full blown effect

like an outside party.

Plus the whole overwhelming factor

kind of blinds us to the positive things

being the pessimist that we are.

But you know the saying "if I didn't

have bad luck I wouldn't have any

luck at all". We could be the poster

children for that one especially lately.

We have 3 more days in this weekend

and hopefully we will survive. I hate vacations

especially when its cold the children tend to bite

each others heads off constantly. I spent most of my

morning yesterday yelling "stop that".

I am off to shave my head again and then to

some fun at the pool for a "hasbeen wanna be" meet

seeing some old friends and laughing for a while.
