One of my least favorite Thanksgivings

That's a really negative title, but it's really true. We're all just lucky I didn't get on here and post something in the middle of it all. Yesterday was a really crappy day. I have been fighting this cold/fluish something or other for the last couple of weeks (basically ever since I started feeling better from my c-section), and yesterday was the worst day of it. I fought all morning the urge to just stop and not continue on with my day and just go to bed, but it wasn't until it was time to head out to Nate's parent's house that I gave up. I have THE HARDEST time missing out on things like Thanksgiving dinner and sometimes I will go even though I know I shouldn't. Not this time. I really didn't have anything left in me that wanted to go. I felt SO CRAPPY!! Nate had made the turkey though, so he really had to go, and I wasn't about to rob the kids of Thanksgiving dinner. So I stayed home with baby Erika (she has been a little congested as well) and they all left. It was SO HARD for me!!! I seriously could not stop crying.... I had lost any self control in that area. My whole body just hurt! I'll spare you the details of every little ailment, but it was bad. So anyway. I finally just decided to go lay down in bed. So Erika and I basically just slept the rest of Thanksgiving day, away. It was awful. I'm so done with not feeling good!! I'm ready to feel like myself again.

Nate and the kids did have a good time though. They ate Nate's nummy turkey and amazing stuffing, and then after the dinner made their cute little Gingerbread houses. I would post pictures but they all ate them for breakfast this morning while I was trying to get myself out of bed. But they were cute. Luke was really cute about his when he got home, I totally wish I could capture the cuteness of his speech on this blog. He sounds adorable.

So anyway. I hope everyone else had a nice Thanksgiving, and hopefully mine will be better next year. Time to eat all the leftovers and start getting ready for Christmas I guess!!!
