There is no way I can do it all myself unless I do as much ahead of time as possible
10:09 am
rururocks
they aren't helping you with the dinner?
10:10 am
MollyL
They help once they get here. One son carves, the other one bats clean up.
10:10 am
BzznBea
Arre you doing the cooking for T day, ru?
10:11 am
MollyL
My youngest helps with all kinds of things.
10:16 am
rururocks
I'm not doing anything on T day bea.. probably cooking for myself and bringing food to my ex
10:17 am
rururocks
I plan on taking the dogs for a nice walk (weather is supposed to be nice) and having a nice bottle of wine probably.
10:19 am
MollyL
No Croc Rocking with Oragami on Thanksgiving?
10:20 am
rururocks
no.. I think she's doing things with her friends.
10:20 am
BzznBea
I think I'm done being the chef for Thanksgiving. It's not worth the effort with my family.
10:21 am
rururocks
I'm trying to lay low and not get sick again, as it caused me a lot of problems in doing things for my ex. She's too fragile for me to bring something to her and we've got this horrible flu and cold bug going around the valley here.
10:21 am
rururocks
I hear that Bea. I'm done hosting people at my house too for a long while.. it's been a lot .
10:22 am
rururocks
it's different for Molly with her tightknit family.. those kind of gatherings are really fun
10:23 am
rururocks
although a HUGE amount of work
10:25 am
rururocks
I'll shut up now
10:26 am
BzznBea
Yes, lots of work. The last two years, I spent three days preparing and then no one ate anything.
10:36 am
rururocks
wow.. that's weird
10:38 am
BzznBea
It was even weirder than that. Thus the reason we took off for the week this year.
10:39 am

My daughter suggested that I host Thanksgiving dinner one more time - while I still could!
10:53 am
