who thought this was a good idea

We are officially on Thanksgiving countdown. Ashley asked this morning if i had my holiday bible out yet, i wasn't sure what she meant, and she said it is my menu and notes down to what time to put things in the oven, what time to take them out, and the temps. Even things like gravy, green beans, rolls and corn make the list.

I finally had to explain, in detail i make notes like that, because so much is going on, and if it is written down in front of me, i don't have to think....just do....

Ben took Connor, Jonathan, Sean Patrick and Christian to the movies today, while Ashley, Nicole, Alexandra and i stayed home and baked, i am not entirely sure that is fair, and next year, i am volunteering for the movie detail...

We have on our list for today, 2 pumpkin pies, 2 pecan pies, 1 coca-cola cake, 3 loaves of pumpkin bread, 2 loaves of cinnamon bread, 2 loaves of banana bread, 8 mini-loaves of apple bread, an assortment of mini muffins, 1 large pan of cornbread in order to make the cornbread dressing, cherry jello w/min-marshmallows, and sweet potato casserole with pecan/brown sugar topping....i feel fat already...

Actually, i never over-eat on the holidays, because by the time i have cooked everything, and been in the kitchen for days, i am too tired to chew....i don't even care if i eat ....

I went with Ben to the cardiologist yesterday, and we have to go back in 2 weeks...for more tests...anyway, i am behind on cleaning, and i am going to try to get the tables set-up tonight..

I am stuck because Ben wanted eggs for breakfast this morning, and now i am short, and have to wait for them to get back to finish baking!!!!!!!!!i might even say the s word as Christian calls it(shut-up).

I think i am getting irritable, because Ashley suggested i open a bottle of wine....i was okay until people asked what i was cooking for dinner...i strongly suggest left-overs or p.b.andj.

Maybe next year i will go to the movies, and we'll have pizza for Thanksgiving Dinner...

It is so weird to me, that we are having our big dinner tomorrow, but as Ben, Andrew, and Tiffiany have to work Thurs. on 3 different shifts, it just seemed easier. On Thurs. i am not getting out of bed at all, i am going to watch the parade, and just lay there.....
