Thanksgiving- Blog catch up

WOW! I haven't updated in a long time! Sorry, I know you've all been anxiously awaiting my next post! HaHa, So I am going to try to update you on the happenings over the last 6 weeks or so!

Ok, let's start with Thanksgiving.

We had a nice dinner with my family at Angie & Michael's house. I had to work from 3-11pm so they kindly had dinner at lunchtime!
It was quiet at work so they let me stay home until 7 pm, so I got some bonus time with my family.

When I got off work at 11:30pm, I picked Mom up and we went Midnight Madness shopping at Arundel Mills Mall. I almost gave up when we pulled into the parking lot, but little drive around to the other side of the lot and away from Best Buy and there was plenty of parking!

The Gymboree outlet was having a great sale and I got some amazing bargains on clothes for Meg and Kel (although I stood in line for about an hour- I didn't check the time on purpose, so I don't know exactly- it was worth it and I got to talk to some nice people and spend time with my mom.). Mom and I bought some Christmas gifts, too (Webkins at buy one get one free- that's a deal!). I think it was around 3am when we headed home. It was fun!

The rest of the mall wasn't very crowded, not much worse than on a rainy weekend, probably because everyone was in Gymboree and Old Navy and Starbucks!

As many of you know my parents decided to separate, and they went to settlement the Monday after Thanksgiving. It was a hard day all around. It is my hope that this will allow each of us to develop healthier relationships.

Megan said "Mommy, we usually make brownies for people who move in to our neighborhood, are we gonna make brownies for the lady who bought Nana and PopPop's house?" She makes me smile!

I am thankful to Aunt Sara, Uncle Fred, and their family for welcoming Dad to their Thanksgiving celebration.

So, that's our Thanksgiving! Hang on for a few more posts to bring us up to date!
