Hours of Work – A Few Minutes of Eating – It’s All Over

Category: Life & Family, Mama Kelly's Musings | Written by Mama Kelly

Well I managed to get everything out on the table, HOT, at the same time. Everyone had a little of everything and the meal was proclaimed great by all.

My youngest child, this year for the first time announced that she LIKES my cucumbers in sour cream which means that at least 3 out of 5 of us will eat it and thusly I will get to eat it more often!

Hubby is watching football … the kids are on the computer … and I am resting, contemplating an actual nap.

Pie will come in a couple of hours.

All in all it was an nice day for everyone.

Everyone but me.

I am always a little crabby about how much work time and effort goes into a meal that is finished in a little more than 30 minutes.

I am always tired from the disrupted sleep that comes from waking up in the wee hours to start my turkey.

I am always a little sad because well its a holiday and its just the 5 of us, and I miss my mom.

My depression and anxiety issues are in an uproar as Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Holiday season madness and this year money is pretty damn tight and I have very little already purchased (unlike most years when most of my shopping is already done by now). It will probably wind up with us doing everything in the week before Xmas/Yule as scary as that concept is to me. I am so stressed that it feels like my insides are quivering and I keep finding myself crying at odd intervals.

Hubby keeps assuring me that everything will be just fine! One way or another. And I am trying very very hard to believe it.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day

Blessings
