"Hot & Sh*!@ty" Thanksgiving


So before I get into all the details, I am VERY thankful for all that I have. I am blessed far beyond what I deserve...but it just seems that whenever we travel, things are bound to go wrong.

We left for Fillmore on Wednesday so we could enjoy the holiday. We haven't visited since the 4th of July, so we wanted to make it worth the trip. On Thursday morning we woke up and had breakfast (my mom and dad made my favorite, Biscuits and Gravy). Shortly after we finished eating, I started to clear the table. My mom had been busy in the kitchen getting the turkey in the oven. Apparently, the roasting pan was too big, so she had to remove one of the oven racks, which she placed on the rug by the dishwasher...it was HOT since it had been in the oven being preheated. I walked into the kitchen with a load of dishes and was unaware of the rack on the floor and of course I stepped right on it...OUCH, "why are my feet on FIRE!!!" So for the rest of the morning, I was icing my feet and trying to find shoes that I could walk in. That about covers the Hot part of the day.

The other part of the day was filled with my poor sweet children running to the toilet with the runs...good times! So we came home on Thursday and were so sad to leave my family, but what do you do???

P.S. I decided not to post a picture of the "sh*!@ty" part, lucky for you!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! (a little late)

OH so sad! I am so sorry that your Thanksgiving was not so good. At least you know now not to let people dare you into walking on hot coals (I hear that happens a lot!).

Hope everyone is feeling better. We missed you.

I about cried for you! How are your feet??? Ummm, and a phone call would have been nice to get since you got home early. I was missing my friend all weekend!

BTW- thanks for not sharing pictures of your kids sprinting to the bathroom. Although, those would have been great blackmailing photos for later in life!

Hey! I found your blog through...well...I don't remember who's! :) It's so good to see what your up to. If I ever have kids and if I ever live close(r) to AF, I totally want to put my kids in your preschool. I bet it's the best! Oh yeah - I cringed when I heard about your Thanksgiving.
