The Moment I ALWAYS knew would happen.

Did I catch your attention! We usually have been torn between the two families, on where to eat Thanksgiving dinner.It always seems like my family and Brian's family want us to come and eat at their house at the exact same time. Brian refuses to break the day up, he likes to stay put. For the record we have had Thanksgiving dinner at my family's house I think two times in seven years. I don't really care as long as I'm getting the turkey, who cares where it's coming from!
This year will be different. Brian's family is all going out of town and coinincidently my family is going out of town as well.
For some unknown reason, I have always known that I would have to cook Thanksgiving dinner... by myself!!! I have feared this moment ever since I was 16 or so. Isn't that weird!! I guess it probably stems from the fact that I am not a cook. It has been an ongoing battle. I'm happy to report I feel more prepared than i thought i would be, after a nice rundown from my sis in law.. who is an excellent cook and some help from food network I think it will turn out nice....hopefully.

My Princess Gisele is 1

My poor little baby! She did not have a very good Birthday. First of all her B-day was on Sunday..defineatly not my favorite day to have a B-day, even if she is 1.The day started out with a baby blessing that we attended at 10:00, which for her is right in the middle of nap time. She was a zombie by the time it was over. After her nap was over. I picked her up and I could feel that there was a significant amount of heat radiating from her head. I grabbed the thermoniter and low and behold she had a temp of 102.5. I have never had a child with that high of a temp. I ran her to instacare where she indefineatly had an ear infection.Even the doc. said "she's is very miserable". I took her home, called my family and told them the party that I had planned was cancelled.She moaned and groaned until she went to bed at 7:00,all through the night she woke up every 4 hours for some more tylenol. I feel like I am still making up for the lack of sleep that I have not acqured from last week. But the good news is, is she is feeling lots better.:) We had her party the following sunday and it was a blast.
