BR was kind of sinking into a funk mood. With Thanksgiving coming and the W saying she wouldn't be attending this year. She may be alone. The kids are going to their parent's. I think this concession was done so W can insure having them for Christmas.
We have had Thanksgiving at my brother's place for the past 4 years. Our mom mentioned doing 2 dinners was a lot so the brothers took over. It's fun us doing things. My brother doesn't have much a cooking clue but he watches and learns and we get it done while listening to parades and It's A Wondeful Life. These memories help me stay out of the funky zone.
But at the same time, it won't be the same without the kids or the W. She said she wouldn't feel comfortable coming. I want her there but I don't know how to overcome her feelings. Yes, my people aren't happy with her as her's aren't. But come on. Part of me going all out has been for her.
Any ideas on convincing her to come.
She said she would just be alone. I don't want that. This brings back visions of our first Christmas when the kids were gone on Christmas Eve and her folks wouldn't allow her to come to their event. I hurt for her because I couldn't stay long that night. I don't want her spending Thanksgiving alone.
She has to work today but she said she was getting off early. I hope that's worm on the hook for me. I'll bite. I'll see if she wants to do something today. Any ideas what we can do? I was thinking maybe a show or shoot a couple rounds of pool. She said she feels like.... well I've said what she felt like last week.
Sorry folks. I had to get the sad feelings out so I can keep my sunny side up around her today. She's bound to feel sad when I start getting our feast stuff together.
