Well almost dead anyway. Saturday afternoon I finally turned the corner and felt like yes I could stand in the shower for 10 minutes to get clean. This was the sickest I've been in several yrs. but thankfully I didn't have the stomach flu at the same time.
I will be running from now till Christmas I think. I am hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, that means quite a lot of people will be here. My parents are coming, the in laws are coming, and Tonya and crew will be here also along with Uncle Doug and Aunt Sandi, and Uncle Bubba. The only problem with my fab new house is the fact that they only installed one wall oven and in a kitchen and house this size that doesn't make sense. So I will be baking my cheesecake tonight and my cabbage casserole tomorrow so that thurs I can give the oven to the turkey. The day after turkey day we have to put up our family christmas tree due to the fact that Nate will be leaving for Florida on Sat and not returning until friday. The CTS christmas party is being hosted at my house this year and is on the sat after he returns, so the house has to be decorated for christmas by then. I was having a major freaker while I was sick because I had not been able to get in touch with the caterer to get the menu options from her and I wasn't even sure she was still going to do it. Luckily Monday she shows up at my house with ideas and menu options that look fabulous. She has a staff of up to 30 people if need be so I felt reassured that I wasn't hiring some local yocal to cater the party. Then the week after the party we will be leaving to go to Williamsburg Va for a week. It is the 200 yr anniversary of Williamsburg and the 250 yr celebration of Jamestown. (I think) I have no idea yet when we will fit christmas shopping into the schedule but rest assured if you are on my list you will still get your present.
My mom just left after helping me clean my house for Thanksgiving, I know it will be messy the moment all the cousins arrive but I wanted the germs gone. Plus I am still weak and tired from laying around for 5 days.
In other news: I was talking to Luke about having a respectful attitude with his mother while she is speaking to him and he looks at me and says "I'm tired of your old looking face talking all the time." Do you think I'm reaching him?
In shocking news: While I was sick Nate went to the furniture store and bought a sofa table w/out me having seen it first. Is that weird or what? Luckily I love it.

so tell me, is Luke's head still attached to his body?!?!
So happy to hear you feel better! I'll be praying that you don't relapse until at least Jan 1st!
I'm assuming that all of us on your the links area of your side bar will be receiving gifts!?! lol!
Make sure you get enough rest!
Happy Thanksgiving!

two words for nate-the-spontaneous-furniture-purchaser....Metro-sexual! :)
Yes Jane he is still in one piece. The funny thing about Luke is that although that was terribly sassy, he says things so sincerely and grown up, when I tell him it is rude and disrespectful he usually apologizes. I actually had asked him if he was listening to me before that tart answer burst forth.
You should think about replacing that wine fridge with a warming drawer.
