Thanksgiving day was fun. Played volleyball, cornhole and ping pong at my cousin's warehouse and then went back to my other cousin's house for lunch. My mom couldn't make it out so we ate and then fixed her plate and took it back to my house. 3 of my cousins came with me so she was pretty happy about that.
Marc had a wonderful day. Spent his 15th birthday (sniff) with a whole bunch of cousins and their friends watching football and playing video games. He was in 7th heaven. It was wonderful to watch.
As tradition in my family dictates, we all sat down around the big table with every Black Friday add from the paper in front of us and started reading, listing, and passing. We put together a plan of attack, decided we would leave the house at 2:45a to get to the first store, and then decided that if we tried to sleep for a couple of hours it would be worse than staying up all night. So.......we piled in the cars and went to the outlet mall to go shopping at midnight. There was a two mile backup in every direction to try to park. CRAZY! Kept us awake for the stores we really wanted to hit. I managed a couple of things from the list but most everything I had wanted to get was sold out 10 minutes after the store opened (Wal-Mart - need I say more?) and the feeding frenzy was extreme. SO NOT WORTH GETTING A BEATDOWN in the electronics department over a couple of $7 Wii games.
We got home at about 9am yesterday morning and I went straight to sleep and didn't get up until 2pm. Pretty much ended up being a lazy day which was really nice.
Today I've had about an hour of work out and then crashed again. I think I might be coming down with something because I feel achy all over and have a raging headache. I hope whatever it is goes away quickly. I don't have time to be sick!
Marc is with Gabe today. I was nearly sick to my stomach driving back from dropping mom at dialysis this morning when I realized Gabe and the broom were right behind me on the way to my house to pick him up. I kept going past the house because I had to get gas, not because I was avoiding them, but then when I pulled out of the gas station they drove right past me again. Yeeessshhh!!!! I couldn't escape seeing them together this morning. Sickens me. I know he's not happy, but it doesn't seem to make it any better. Maybe it's just the thought that even though he isn't really happy with her, at least he has someone that is there to hold. I have TONS of people around me that love and support me, it's just not the same as having someone that will hold you...KWIM? I'm just a little lonely, it'll pass.....thank GOD!
Gotta go pick mom up from dialysis now. FYI - she is such a control freak! It drives her nuts for me or Marc to turn on the Wii because then she can't watch 'her shows'. HGTV, Food Network, Game Show Network, and Lifetime.......UGH! You would think she would enjoy seeing me and Marc having fun, but no.....that disrupts her staring at mindless drivel.
Rant over.... LOL!
