HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I am way tired like always, but I had a pretty darn good day!! I woke up when Cassie got here this morning at 11:00am. I should have gotten up earlier and helped my mom with a few things, but I just couldn't wake up. As soon as Cassie got there I did get up so that's something. It was so good to hug my girl! :-) I've missed her over the past couple of days.

I also finally brushed out my hair and took a shower which was way overdue. I had Cassie pull me out a brown top and brown pants. After all, it's Thanksgiving and that's really the only Thanksgiving color I really had. I don't have anything orange. I do have a yellow and brown shirt, but I was in a mood for solids.

Cassie and I stayed in my room for awhile. Then went out to my mom. She was a little upset that no one came to help her. But she didn't stay upset. I think she was more upset that Tim was late. She carved the turkey and we all ate. And oh was the food delicious!! Tender, tender turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, sausage and sage stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls. I think that was everything - OH!! Her gravy!! Cassie says she waits for Grandma's gravy every year because it's the best. :-)

I thought this was sweet all the way around. My mom had set up the dining room table so the kids could sit with her. Well, they all decided to sit with me iin the other room. Then Cassie saw Grandma sitting all by herself and said, "I'm going to go sit with Grandma." So her and Taylor sat with my mom and Cassie said it was probably the first real conversation they had ever had! I think that was fantastic! I think it made it a nice Thanksgiving for my mom and it was a show of just how big my Cassie's heart is. And she was wearing the scarf Grandma got her for her birthday which my mom was thrilled about.

I went back into the bedroom and was on the computer for a bit. Cassie went to take a bath. Then we went to get Jason. I'd already put aside a HUGE plate for him. Cassie came with me when we went to pick up Jason at Amaya. As soon as we got back I heated up his plate in the microwave - God I love having a microwave again!! Anyway, he enjoyed it and thanked me at least three times for twisting his arm to get him here for Thanksgiving. Then we had pie. Cassie had apple, Jordan had just pumpkin, grandma had one of apple and one of pumpkin and I had one of all three - apple, pumpkin AND pecan. I'm STILL FULL! LOL! Though the thought of a turkey sandwich isn't grossing me out so I don't know. LOL! A snack might be in the future if I'm away.

We stayed for a bit then I took Jason home with Cassie since tomorrow they are leaving in the morning to go up to Knott's Berry Farm. I think she's going to have a great time!

I chilled at Jason and Susan's for a little bit. All the kitties came to see me. Then I watched Cassie and Zippy. Zippy is such a neat little guy! He's not a runner!! That shocked me. She would just put him on the computer desk and get up to take care of something and he'd just stay there! I thought that was so neat.

Anyway, when I got home, I finished Cassie's apple pie because she didn't finish it. I went to see what was on TV and found out "Road to Pumpkin Chunkin" and "Pumpkin Chunkin" was on, so guess what I'm watching?? PUMPKIN CHUNKIN!!! I have loved this for like a decade, I think. I don't know what it is about it, but it's definitely I look forward to it every year!

Well, I played a little bit on Cafemom and "I'm Not Fat! I'm Fluffy!" but I am so tired! I think as soon as "Pumpkin Chunkin" is over, I'm going to try to go to sleep. Wish me luck. :-P

Always Tired But Getting Things Done

I haven't really done much today. I had trouble sleeping last night regardless how tired I was. This is getting to be a habit. Then when I try to sleep I can't because I slept late and then went I get tired again it starts all over again. It sucks. I suppose I'm just going to have to start waking up at a certain time and maybe I'll start going to sleep at a certain time, though it hasn't happened in a long time.

Anyway, I didn't get up until 3:00pm. After that, Jordan and I had to go up to Grossmont to get my mother's tabs for her diabetes. Then after that, I had to go to the grocery store. I needed to pick up ranch dressing and butter. I actually had to call my mom to remember the butter. It just wouldn't come to me. I love cell phones. LOL!

After we got home Jordan, Taylor and George took off to go to Cowles Mountain. I played on the computer for awhile on Cafemom posting mostly on "I'm Not Fat! I'm Fluffy!" and then just checking out some of my other groups. Then I headed out to my therapy appointment. I swung by McDonald's and got a soda. I encountered more pain in the ass drivers, but it wasn't as bad as the other day. But it had taken me longer to get there than I would have liked because of the line at McDonald's. But I got there in plenty of time for my appointment.

Therapy went well. The being tired thing has been around for awhile. Oh I also know the gastric bypass Doctor's office got my paperwork. I need to contact them because there was some kind of question about my insurance. I guess I'll try to call Friday, or on Monday. I hope there's no problem because that would be horrible. Anyway, I talked about that and life in general. About the thought intrusions at night about wanting to cut. It was kind of bad last night. I think it's triggered by being so tired and frustrated about not sleeping. Then I talked about Jason and Susan and Cassie, sleeping and not wanting to get up. It might have something to do with me feeling a bit down.

Anyway, after therapy I went to Walmart. My mom gave me money to get us a microwave FINALLY! And I found a good one for $57. I haven't used it yet, but it looks great. My mom is happy with it and that's what really matters. Jordan was too tired to bring it in though and he went to sleep. Taylor brought it in from the car and set it up. My mom was too tired to play with it tonight so she went to bed. It's going to be so nice to have microwave popcorn again!! That's what I'm excited about! LOL! I'll have to help my mom learn how to use this new microwave tomorrow. It's going to be nice to use it to heat stuff for Thanksgiving! Oh and house has smelled so good! My mom made the stuffing today! I can't wait to have Thanksgiving dinner. I am a little bummed that my Thanksgiving with Jason and Susan is going to have to wait until December 10th now, but I'll live. They are kind of financially strapped at the moment and if anyone is going to understand that, it's me!

Well, now I think I'm done playing on Cafemom. I hope I sleep though at this rate I might as well think I won't. I was able to watch a new "Mythbusters" which was awesome. I watched a new "Brad Melzer's Decoded" about Billy the Kid. As much as people think he survived I'm actually thinking he really did die. I wish they would have shown his girlfriend's son because there is enough looks between them that I think it's pretty obvious that her son was Billy's. I saw that in another TV show. Now I have "Ghost Hunters" on, but I think this is a repeat.

I think maybe it's time to chill out and relax. Maybe I'll sleep. Maybe I won't. We'll see.
