Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Many thanks to Scott for buying my ticket to come home to Phoenix for a few days. It feels like no time has passed since I left Arizona for Oregon. Ben was threatening to start a mashed potato food fight and I fell asleep during a movie at Jamie's house...I'm home again.
Today has been an emotional day for me. I woke up at 7:30am to the chorus of "My tummy is grumbling." and was up and running. Breakfast for the girls, last minute packing, even more last minute instructions for the family taking care of Frances and then off into the cold for a short wait in the airport.
Both of the mother figures in my life did not know I was coming home this weekend. I was able to make them think that I couldn't come but was trying to come for Christmas. I thought Mom was going to drop the food in her hands when I came in the door. Debbie was sitting at the table and started crying. And I being the emotional mess that I am, cried both times.
I'm home until Sunday and hope in these 4 short days that I can rest and recharge my batteries. I need to take a step back, and realize that I can't do everything on my own and to utilize the help other people are offering. I'm planning on resting and enjoying my break and praying I don't go home to a messy house in Oregon.
I hope your Thanksgiving was full of food, laughter, and love.
