My aunt was going to host in Brooklyn, but one of her daughters just had her second car die (they are not doing well in this economy), so that whole part of the family is going to drive to Jersey to try to cram into her small house. With immediate family only, they still will be very cramped.
They are the only family I have left.
Now, what to do........
all friends are with family. I can call around today if I can find the energy and see if there is a soup kitchen that needs a hand...
May just stay home and continue nesting (been cleaning, catching up, etc.) - there is certainly plenty to do.
Kids are off later this afternoon - x is taking my kids and his new crew down into the city to watch them inflate the balloons (I always wanted to do that, just never happened). Kids will be back with me Friday afternoon, and we are going to our small-town tree-lighting, then back home for a nice ham dinner before they go back with their father for his weekend. I'll go visit my aunt at her house on Saturday.
Transitions.... I never would have guessed that I would have a Thanksgiving alone.
