Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving was, interesting. To say the least . Mom and dad got here about 930 in the morning from Jacksonville, Florida. We live in Oxford, Alabama. How flipping early did they leave ? 3 am. . 3 am . I didn't even get up that ear to make the turkey. Oh yeah that's because they had the turkey. Mom had called me about 10 days prior and asked if she could bring the turkey. I said yes because well we are broke and every little bit helps. But anyway they get here like 2 hours earlier then expected and the house was a mess Well it is always a mess but more so this week. I am sick . I think it is bronchitis, not really sure self medicating. But I have been sick for a week at least or my whole life depending on who you ask. Greg and I keep cleaning with snide remarks from his dad and mom playing with kids. Dad says couldn't you have picked a better paint color? It took me 5 years to get the house painted and it only got done because I did it myself and stopped waiting on Greg. He didn't even know what color was going up till it happened or that we were painting the house for that matter. Which I think was his plan so I would do all the work. They are hungry when they get here and looking for snacks, really? Seriously? I am sick and I haven't even had breakfast or tea or anything and you want food? Here's some Chex mix go away. Well not really had bunches of munchies but still too early to be messing with me and my paint color. Especially since I stayed up late the night before cooking everything but the turkey. Get turkey in oven after it comes up to room temperature because it was on ice for 7 hours. They say why? I say because. I knew it was gonna be a long weekend. Turkey in oven feed hungry people shower. Front door opens. Baby brother is here. Well I am naked he can wait. Get dressed he is playing with kiddos. Kaitlyn just loves him and has a grand old time so cool. I get half way through heating all the casseroles and things up and I hit the wall . I am done. I mean I thought I was going to pass out. So I the queen of control freaks( when it comes to my kitchen) walked away and had mom finish everything. I felt that bad. We eat have some dessert they go back to hotel. I go to bed leaving hubby and brother asleep on different couches.
They next day we went to an Iron Bowl party. For of you not from Alabama the Iron Bowl is Auburn Tigers Football against The Alabama Tide. Close game but the Tide won. Greg and my brother were drinking so now no Nacallulla Falls which is fine because I fell like donkey dew but not so much with the stuck up pain in the ass in laws
