We had a nice Thanksgiving weekend. Tuesday was continued school craziness, but that evening we sat down together as a family and watched a few Friends Thanksgiving episodes. They have some of the best ever, and the kids are now old enough that we can all enjoy it together! Wednesday we cleaned and picked up before my in-laws arrived, and I made a quick journey to my hometown to visit friends in town from North Carolina...along with their precious five-week-old baby. Thursday we enjoyed a fabulous meal and terrific company at my aunt & uncle's house, and Friday we took in a high school hockey game and some Christmas lights while mostly just hanging out before my in-laws left early Saturday morning. Saturday was Christmas decorating, and putting the ornaments on our trees is my favorite activity every year. We all look forward to it! Yesterday we finished decorating and putting the house back together, and of course all weekend we enjoyed football! The Ohio State/Michigan game went exactly as we had hoped, but our Steelers lost yesterday. For the most part, we all enjoyed the time together.
On the downside, our weekend was full of teenage crap (there really isn't another word for it). Catherine had an absolute meltdown last night, and she is entirely too old to be behaving this way. Robert was also up to his old shenanigans again, and honestly it kind of makes me want to throw up. I really thought he had turned a corner, and I don't think he understands what he is doing to the trust factor. I just can't help but feel sickened by it, and I can't begin to express how much I have prayed for guidance and good choices.
We have nothing exciting going on this week, but I am grateful to be heading into the holidays. My shopping is about 75% finished, so I am looking forward to enjoying the season!
