I think one holiday soon, I’ll go on strike.

I wish I could buy our Thanksgiving feast. For the last twenty-five years I do it all, with the exception of dessert which is Dana’s department. People think I’m strange for having three rotisseries but I could do one twenty-two pound and two sixteen pound turkeys at the same time, and have my oven free for all the side dishes. This year it would be nice to have someone else cook, we’ll see.

The day I ran away my radiator broke, so it’s been parked at my house where it will sit until Paul has the time to fix it. As far as Christmas goes, I probably will put up five trees again at mom’s, that’s all I can fit in the house, I would like to put more because it drives mom nuts. Thanksgiving, you’ll do fine, do the turkey and the stuffing and let the girls do the rest. Just be sure to tell us when dinner is ready.

Oh, Nancy, this doesn't sound fun at all! You must be an exhausted, strung-out mess by now! How do you stand it? I'm sorry, but I'd be ready to put her in a home by now! I've been with my Mom for 3 months now and I'm already getting agitated with her even though she's trying to comply with what needs done. She's starting to be repetitious and we have pretty much the same conversations every day! I can't wait until tomorrow--Mom has a glaucoma check up and Sis is taking her so I can stay here alone--peace and quiet--and a short breather! YAY!! Kinda of like a mini running-away-from-home!
