so what is everyone planing on doing? i have to work nothing to exciting about that but it pays the bills

Relaxing. Had my Thanksgiving with my family on sunday.

eating-sitting-eating more....I'm missing some essentials what i really want to do.

Help my mom finish cooking, spend time with family, and drive back home because I have to be at work in the morning. Blah! After Thanksgiving work is so not cool.

atleast you dont work thanksgiving.from the sounds of it i work christmas to

having the family get together. Not much different than other times since we all live very close to each other. The difference is the food and playing games.

Think I am going to dream while awake. I want to spend this Thanksgiving remembering last years Thanksgiving. I lost my mom on July 8th, 2009 after caring for her 24/7 for the last 3 years. I remember last thanksgiving like it was yesterday. My father said why don't you get your mom up and in that wheel chair and head over for turkey. Oh, the fun just started! Mind you, my fun might be different than yours. Mine consisted of getting mom changed in her hospital bed and putting on that magical diaper. Sliding the hoyer lift to her bed and raising her like a mechanic pulling out the motor out of his favorite car. She slowly floats in the air and plunges down to the waiting wheel chair. I comb her hair and wheel her to the front room just to hear her say, time to change me again. So back to the bedroom we go. Mom,usually had to be changed about 4 times before we pulled out of the driveway, even on Kidney dialysis days. Takes about 2 hours to finally get out the driveway on good days.

So now we pull into my fathers house, he had a massive stroke in early October and just wanted us at his home, since he just recently was released. Yes, that October I had my mom on the third floor of the hospital and my father on the second floor, Oh I miss October 2008! But, my dads house isn't wheel chair friendly and I had to power lift mom up some stairs and put her in a chair. I go back outside to get her wheel chair and she decides to move and falls and breaks a few toes. Instantly she turns black and blue from the blood thinners she is on. I wanted to take her to the hospital but she wanted to stay, so we ate. It was a nice afternoon with my father, my step-mom and my real mom all under one roof.

I am glad you asked what we are going to do for Thanksgiving. Out of all the thanksgiving past, and I am 47 years old, I remember this one and wont forget it. So I will put on some music, look around my home and wondering what mom is thinking. I hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving and is lucky enough to spend it with the people they LOVE!
Best wishes to all, Mike

Already had my Thanksgiving with family last Sunday, I will be going out later in afternoon with friends.

DITTO! with me to...... damn work,,,,lol

2 & 1/2 times pay for Thursday and Friday....No way they are keeping me from working!!!!!

I'll be staying home working on some remaining projects in the house I just moved into. Number one is to get blinds up in my bathroom and bedroom. I'm going to dip into some Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream too.

Going to my son's for dinner

Gotta work 10-2 not to bad, at Boscov's Candy Counter, we will be swamped

The kids are with their dad this year so I'm enjoying a very relaxing day with some movies, books and my cat.

cooking, family, food, rest

Sorry webcredo, it is hard. I just lost my mother June 19th and you did bring back memories of caring for my mother before she left this world. Keep your chin up. It would be nice to spend it with those we love. Sometimes that just doesn't happen, we have to put our minds and hearts in a good place.

Keep popping in here on mingle. These minglers are good people and they can cheer you up before you know it.

I'm having a samich, some wine and gonna mingle off and on.

I will be going to the movies later to see Ninja Assassin. Nothing says Turkey Day like watching ninja's slice each other up.

Gotta watch some football too. It is tradition. First Thanksgiving in my life that I aint with family, but friends are here. So that's cool. Gooble gooble.

sounds like everyone is going to have some fun and relaxing days.i wish you all a safe and happy thanksgiving
