Thanksgiving.....

Well hello everyone. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week. Mine was a lil hectic.
After our trip to Nashville on Tue I wasn’t feeling well so I didn’t go to work on Wed. After lying around the house all day I felt well enough to go to the grocery to get my stuff to start cooking for Thursday. After a trip to the grocery I came home and got started cooking. I get everything started and realize I had gotten Lime juice and not Lemon juice. So I had to go back to town. I get back and finish my red violet cake with cream cheese ice. And no it didn’t come from a box, I made it from scratch. I was so proud of myself. (sorry but I had to “toot” my own horn a lil…..LOL) Then I made my cheese cake. After being on my feet for a so long they started to swell. So after getting my cheese cake out of the oven I had to sit down. I went on to bed without cleaning the kitchen.
Thursday I was going to go over to mom and dad’s early and help mom but I had done to much the night before. I figured I better take it easy. We got ready about noon and headed to Provo. Christon help dad and Emily finish up the fencing and I went on over to Maw and Paw’s and helped Aunt Rita finish up dinner. We had a great meal and had great time visiting with everyone.
Becca and Morgan were going shopping the next morning (I told them they were crazy). So lil Mac came home with me and Christon. She woke me up about 4am throwing up in her sleep. I woke Christon up and he helped me change the sheets and clean her up. We went back to bed and Becca called me about 6am to let me know that Garrett was sick and I told her about lil mac. She said she wasn’t feeling well herself and was cutting her shopping trip short. After me and lil mac got up she was feeling fine. Becca called me later that afternoon and said that her and Garrett both had the stomach bug and asked if I cared to keep lil mac a lil while longer. After talking with Becca we got ready and went to mom and dad’s. We were going to put mom’s tree up but didn’t get too. Emily came home with me so she could help me with lil mac while I cooked for our Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Angie’s on Sat. (I had 20lbs of potatoes to peal, cut up and mash). It wasn’t long after we got home that Emily started to feel sick. So she went to bed and it wasn’t but about 20min later she was up throwing up. Christon got her situated and back in bed, me and lil mac went to bed. Then I woke up at 2:30am throwing up myself. I woke Christon up and moved lil mac to the bed with Emily. I was up and down all night running to the bathroom. I was sick all day Saturday. Mom came and got lil mac and brought me and Emily some sprite. Aunt Rita called and asked if I needed anything that she was going to get phenergen, Tara, Morgan, Carson and Paw were all sick too. I had taken one of Emily’s and it had helped but if I needed more I would call her. Christon called every 30min to check on us. Needless to say we didn’t make it to Aunt Angie’s for dinner. I finally got up about 8pm and took a shower and went back to bed.
I got up Sunday and felt fine. Mom came and got me and Emily after church. Mom was cooking dinner for Emily’s 16th birthday. Yeah Emily my baby sis is 16 now. Mom made chicken noodle soup and cooked a ham. Me, Becca, Emily, Kelsey played cards while Garrett, Justin, Tooter and Cody played pool. Christon came over after he got off work. Daniel and his family and Karen didn’t make it over they were all sick. We got home about 11pm. Poor Christon was worn out, he hadn’t had a decent night sleep all week for taking care of all of us. So we both went straight to bed.
Well I better get off here. I have all kinds of laundry to do and plenty of cleaning that I could do.
I go to the doctor tomorrow so I hope to update later tomorrow. Everyone have a great week.
