Lucy's Thanksgiving # 2 was a success!
Well, she (much like last year) did not actually eat much Thanksgiving food, but she didn't pitch a fit while we ate, so I'm counting it as a success. For those of you who know me, you aren't surprised by the fact that I did not cook dinner for the family. Thanks to Ingles, we had a lovely meal-Turkey breast, broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole, dressing, and lots of pie. I forgot to cook the rolls and slaw. I don't know what is wrong with my brain lately, but it is not dialed into my inner "Betty Crocker". I think having a house husband for all these months has completely hindered my ability to do anything domestic. Not a super bad problem to have.
As for Lucy, she's got some sort of respiratory infection, so she's on a MAJOR antibiotic (first one in 6 months!). Her blow-out poop diapers have not been my dream come true, and she's not really eaten in days. In fact, her last good meal was in the Walgreens parking lot on Moday, and consisted of "chicken wuggets and pinch pies" (that is chicken nuggets and french fries for all you non-toddler speaking readers). Feel free to nominate me for mother of the year. But seriously, she's eating about 2 bites during each meal. I got a few bites of broccoli casserole in her today, along with a couple of bits of turkey. She enjoyed a little pumpkin pie, but we are just thankful for what we can get down her right now.
After we ate, I began my annual Christmas decorating. Bryan wouldn't let me begin until AFTER Thanksgiving, so pretty much as soon as the last dish was washed, I unloaded boxes. I must admit, for the past two years, I've not wanted to decorate much of anything. Two years ago I went into pre-term labor near Christmas, and last year, well, I was just TIRED. Lucy LOVED helping out, and E Ee-uh (Aunt Leah) took some AWESOME pictures.
Tomorrow we are heading to the Fantasy of Trees and will hopefully see SANTA CLAUS!!!! I can't wait...
