A Time for Thanksgiving

Its that time of year again where the holiday spirit is starting to take shape. Turkeys, shades of orange, green and red, and holiday music playing in all the stores. I love this part of the year but for some reason I am just not feeling it this year. I am looking forward to indulging in the food and family but just the hustle and bustle of it all has me in the dumps. Maybe because I am broke this year. I have so much that is going on this holiday season and the only thing that I can think about is waking up Christmas morning in my new home. My girls are looking forward to the season and I am looking forward to seeing their little faces as well. I just hope that it is all under my own roof.

So now that I am living with my mother for the time being I know that I will be up just as long as she is, cooking. I wanted to make my little dish and contribute to the Thanksgiving feast but it looks as if I'll be in there elbow deep tomorrow night. I know that I need to get in the rhythm of doing that anyways because I need to start cooking for my own family for the holidays but DANGIT, I AIN'T FEELING IT THIS YEAR.

I must say that I have so much to be thankful for and I try to hold on to that feeling, but when I think of all the work that is involves, I just think about pulling the covers over my head until someone screams for me to come and eat. I am assuming that the pressures of the house and being exhaustingly (not sure if that is a word or not, but it is perfect for this situation)ready to move have finally taken its toll on me. But in the meantime I will grin and bear it. Happy Thanksgiving!

My 5 most Euphoric things today:
5. One more day of work
4. Gumbo for dinner
3. Thanksgiving dinner
2. Baking a cake for the office, even if half the people here don't like me
1. Preparing to close on my home (keep us in your prayers)
