I am torn... Dillon is still working on the windows upstairs my book is kind of blah, and I want to watch more sister wives but i don't want to not "do" something if i am watching TV. So what to do what to do....

Dillon got a turkey from work today, we have sweet patatoes out the wazoo (fresh and canned) uh a 3 cup bag of frozen pumpkine and i think 6 cans of pumpkin pulp. Then i have 4 cans of whole cranberry sauce and er two cans of pineapple and some walnuts and rasperry jello but those are to bring to the families thanksgivings (awesome cranberry sauce stuff is awesome). Also got some granny smiths ready for pie and some deep dish pie crusts.... (i had a lot of coupons earlier in the month lol)

So i think we need regular russet/ red potatoes, corn on the cob, errrr what else stuff to make our own cranberry salad jello stuff, creacm cheese for pumpkin bread.......... it seems like i need more.... i can't think of anything OH sausage and maybe celery and carrots and we need onions

I have absolutely nothing shopped for or planned out for this year. I make my stuffings from scratch, and I'm not sure I want to do cornbread pudding this year. Cole loves it, but I'll be doing a lot of the cooking from Nana's directly and won't have oven space. I cannot wait to have a house someday with a six burner two-oven stove. You can bet your rear it will be used constantly. I love, love, LOVE holiday cooking but don't have nearly the space to do all I want. I get frustrated when dishes aren't hot and piping fresh. :p

Terra's asked for an apple pie, yet... she's never had one. She's had pumpkin pie before, and I think lemon meringue, and appl... oh, she has had apple custard pie. I may make that as it's far easier than a double crusted pie. I need to get granny smiths though because the custard is too sweet for anything but super tart apples.

When we went to the harvest festival last weekend we got the most awesome bag of honey crisp apples that would have made an epic pie, but we've eaten almost all of them. xD

I'm feeling a tiny bit better today. Not great, but a bit. I'm going to take advantage with my coffee and at least write out the dishes we'll be making.

It's not a huge deal... I am dragging out finishing my book which is postponing the factory reset as I can't figure out what is wrong with it over all.... It is acting up everywhere I am kind of wondering if maybe I got a virus somehow.

Now to what I was TRYING to say earlier this morning when my Kindle had it's brain damages.... >.>

With Thanksgiving we were considering putting on a combined family thing, but our families were less then cooperative about trying to give us a manageable time period to use and they seemed dead set on having their own and expecting us to come anyhow. I sometimes don't know why I try.... But anyhow we have been slowly collecting stuff for the dinner expecting that we'd either get the turkey a day or two before or have to buy it ourselves. But nope Dillon showed up with Co-Pilot Gobbler yesterday (yeah he named him >.>) from work. So we've slowly gathered certain things. I am wondering if I should attempt a shopping trip this morning. Part of me thinks I'd be CRAZY to do so everyone is going to be shopping to day, but I need some stuff for stuffing I think still (the previously mentioned sausage, celery, onion and carrots) and a few other ingredients. I have a thanksgiving meal planner thing I printed out a few weeks ago and I should really look at it because I KNOW I'll forget something if I don't have some kind of plan. Not to mention I will forget parts/ ingredients etc. Since it is sitting in the printer tray next to me maybe I should look at it now.... Holy blurrr batman.... O_O Maybe I should use it as a reference instead cause wowzers!

I am sorry you are still feeling gross. :( If you write out a plan can Cole get the stuff for it? Or are you planning that for Monday?

I am right there with you too. I made the mistake of buying cheap fast food for both lunch and dinner yesterday and paid severely last night. Plus I had an anxiety attack trying to talk to Dillon about his sister and the thing with Jayden. I think he made me feel kind of er, shut down on the subject like he ended the conversation not me and he implied I wanted to go to bed when I didn't, so I went to bed mad at him for the implication rather then doing any of the things I WANTED to do before bed last night. So lame over all and my stomach still feels gross today. Though it usually does if I throw up I will feel off in my stomach for 1-2 days even though I don't have other symptoms. I still have others though this is a weird stomach bug it's not HORRIBLE, but it sure likes to cling to me. Ellie's fully over hers though which is good. Dillon cleaned her diapers today and was apologizing for me having to change them. LOL. It was pretty nasty.

Apple pie is amazing! I adore apple pie... Really... I like like 99.9% of most pies out there >.>; Not SUPER keen on cherry pie, and I can't stomach pecan pie (it is too sweet, and hurts my teeth too) but I love almost every other sweet pie. I don't like Sheppard pie at all but I do so like me some pot pie... Mmmmm I think I will do that with leftovers this year yum Turkey Pot Pie!

There I wrote you a novel to read LOL. Hope you start feeling better though. Remember to rest up the weekend doesn't last NEAR long enough <3

lol.... Co-Pilot Gobbler. I'll name my turkey Mr. McGiblets.

I made the shopping list but won't get it 'till Monday. Cole went out today to get groceries for us. I have chicken thighs baking in the oven right now as we're low on protein. My grandfather basically said he'd pay for Thanksgiving, so I'm keeping the lists separate.

They want turkey, ham, veggies, and sides. Mom will make an onion stuffing (potatoes and onions cooked down to the point it's caramelized and oh-so-good) and a date pie, and my aunt will likely make a bunch of desserts. I'll do two stuffing dishes, the ham, the turkey, and the veg. I need to figure out what to make up ahead of time.

We have a cornbread mix I'll make just because it's quick, easy, and so yummy. I'll likely do a stewed pumpkin pie and an apple custard pie. We're going to have so much in leftovers. o.o

Mmm that all sounds soo yummy. I am making a cranberry jello stuff for the family dinners. But we are looking at making our own separate dinner too. Dillon bringing home the gobbler kind of confirmed that. I want deep fryer turkey kind of bad... It sounds really REALLY good. But it is pricy. I had my mom make me one for my birthday a couple years ago with a turkey Dill brought home from work. Terriaki Turkey!

We have a stove top stuffing but I almost always use that as "supplemental" stuffing for when the good homemade stuff runs out... I really need to get on working on the list here soon. I think we are planning on heading out soon.... It's cold... >.>; I am slow moving in the cold. LOL.

I have to make stuffing from scratch because of all the food allergies. Both my aunts and all my cousins have it, as well as us of course. I'll bake two loaves of brioche this week though... it should hold up. I have a stove-top knock off recipe that's close! I need to cut back on the celery salt it calls for as I remember it having quite the bite last year. O_o

Terra took a late nap and is still out cold. It took forever for her to settle down. Hours. Argh.

I am cleaning the two mini's coats so we aren't leaving yet. Plus Ellie was due for her nap too even a little late on it.

I am feeling sick again. Which is irritating the crap out of me! I want to DO something! I really dislike being hold up feeling gross...

I am glad Dillon is home cause I can direct him with what to do... but i still feel useless. I think i am going to get up and try to do something. Despite the stomach ache, i have an itch to get stuff done. And ellie is out... i've done internet stuff that has been waiting on me but i need to do some more physical stuff! Plus some on the physical stuff will lead to adding more online later. The dryer keeps beeping at me too! So off I go I suppose :P

I ate chicken, risotto, and corn for dinner in a tiny portion and now I feel like my stomach's being ripped to shreds. Baaaaaaaad idea...

The apartment is a disaster pit, but I can't be bothered. It'll still be waiting next week I reckon. x_x

I am being forced to take a rest. My stomach hasn't settled since lunch... I hate the itch to do stuff when I am sick... i also hate being sick when it's a day off. Such a pain in the butt...

i have piles and piles of donate stuff cluttering my room! I know some of it is nesting like a crazy woman. I have never ever been this bad! But it is helping that this time Dillon is really desperately trying tp minimize too! I think he is as tired of clutter as I am.... FINALLY! The donation truck is suppose to be here Wednesday just a few more days! It is wierd to be so invigorated by getting rid of junk! It's like a horrible addiction!

I need to figure out what we are going to do for dinner. :/ should be something simple and easy on the stomach for me I'd imagine.

If I could rewind the past hour I would have taken a banana and dry toast. Ohhhhhhh the pain. Guess I'm not feeling as well as I thought.

Oooh, donation truck! Getting rid of clutter always feels good. :)

*sigh* I got my denial letter about the breastfeeding peer councilor position V_V I am feeling a little crushed over it. The other application I put in was weeks ago and I am pretty sure it is a no go too... :( I guess I have no hope of getting out of watching Jayden. What gets me is when Mikes was a year old there was an opening for a peer counselor and a girl I knew who had only been breastfeeding for 6 months had got it. :/

I want soup I think. I am thinking that I may pick some up if Ellie ever wakes up.

I got some pictures of the furniture we have been wanting to sell... They had tons and tons of clutter on/in them. Some I don't know what we are going to do with. Others I am hoping Dillon will just trash.

It is still upsetting though.

Dillon made biscuits and gravy for dinner, and I am out of motivation to go to the store. :/ I am trying to get myself moving on cleaning instead. I let the letter upset me too much is not only slowed my it kind of ripped away my motivation in the midst of a MASSIVE overhaul of our bedroom that is taking over almost everything right now.

Once you're able to bring that little love into the world in the comfort of your own home, everything else will melt away. You won't ever need to watch Jayden again after Christmas, and soon you'll be able to just focus on the kiddos and Dillon.

I hate how everything in life has to be a sacrifice. Gotta sacrifice A to get B. You shouldn't have to bend over backwards just to have a home birth. :( Everyone should be able to have one if they want it. Bah.

Deep breath! A month is going to come and go in a blink.

Hehe she is so cute!

I pray they don't ask me to watch her again. I have a real problem with telling people no. I have a feeling it will come up again though. I feel like people have this real issue realizing that I want my own life... :(

Can you practice saying no? It would be pretty rotten of them to ask when you'd be having a newborn. Handling Ellie without Jayden's rotten behavior is bad enough... and driving with a newborn wanting to nurse 24/7 just is... bah. x.x

But, no point in worrying right now, right? Maybe you can practice now? You could ask her where Jayden will have daycare after you're at week 30? Keep asking, making sure she "gets it". Even say conversationally as soon as Liam's old enough you're going to get a job with benefits (that way there's no way she could confuse you wanting the babysitting job).

Every time I say no to anyone for any reason it seems like they smash right back in my face. It really makes is difficult to say it... EVER...

Tara is going to have one of her friends watching her. She isn't someone I'd EVER chose to watch my kiddo, but she isn't mine.

That is a fair idea though....
