Welp...

This Thanksgiving was NICE, but HARD...
I think I had more of a hard time this year, that I did last not having my father here...

I had a big crying spell....couldn't seem to stop....
Had to excuse myself, a couple of times...

Also, it's the first Thanksgiving in I don't know how many years, that my husband and I did NOT get to spend together, because he was sleep, because he had to be at work at 7pm after getting off at 9am! So he slept in.....

I worked my butt off....

As you can imagine, my mom had a rough time! So I basically cooked for two houses!

We ate our selves into oblivion.....

I didn't take many pictures this time around because i was so freaking tired.....

I did capture a few of the kids....but that was from my phone and not my camera!
Which is basically, how I have been taking pics lately....lmao!
What can I say, I have an excellent camera on my phone....

I did the CRAZY...and went Black Friday shopping as USUAL....

BUT, BEST BUY WAS SO DANG ORGANIZED, it was worth it! I was in and OUT in 20 minutes, bought the Kinect and a few games for the kids....Then we just wanted to see how chaotic walmart was...and IT WAS INSANE! We just walked around and walked out. We went to Target and I got Jaree's white ipod touch and accessories for it...We were done black Friday shopping by 2am! We sat down and enjoyed some Starbucks....and headed home! i was in by 3am!

I slept for most of the day on Friday....LIKE IT WAS A SHAME HOW MUCH I SLEPT!
But I tirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreddddddddddddddddddddddddd!

I slept most of Saturday too!

Hopefully things get back to normal, but I am still just getting caught up on rest for staying in the hospital with Jariel for 5days .....

By the way, Jariel is DOING GREAT! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!

Welp, that's all I have....

Wait, I am also 85 percent done with my Christmas shopping! Jariel's Samsung Galaxy Tablet is being shipped as we speak....

All I have to do is get Jaree a digital camera, set up an appointment to get B's remote start installed, go to Forever 21, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Gilly Hicks to pick up gift cards for the kids and my nieces and nephews! That's easy!

This is the first time I am done this early! Normally I am out in the HUSTLE AND BUSTLE....because I LOVE IT! But, this year, I wasn't feeling like it! Most of my gifts were ordered and shipped to me....LOL

I am putting up the TREE TODAY...well, I will say this...The decorations are out of the attic....and in my living room! That's a start! LOL

Well, that is all for REAL THIS TIME....
UNTIL NEXT TIME....
