Durbin Diary: Special Macy's Thanksgiving Day Blog...

:/ Okay, it's just my non-special, regular blog. I falsely advertised. No balloons or bands or lip-syncing wannabe pop stars here. Sorry.

::Sigh:: One year ago. Thanksgiving 2008. Carter was 3 weeks old and we went to Black Eyed Pea because I was exhausted and didn't want to do anything or travel with the baby. Look at that tiny dark haired thing. Amazing the changes a year brings. :)

Trenton's with his dad, but the rest of us, Scott, Carter & I, hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving. :)

We went to Black Eyed Pea again this year, but it's really because I'm just tired all the time these days. I didn't feel great last night and Carter was having some tummy trouble. Then I didn't have the stuff to make the chocolate egg nog marble pie, so we just stayed home, hung out on the couch and watched football.

I didn't make the trip to see my extended family and I paid for it. Dearly. When it came time for dessert at BEP, our (horrible/high/drunk/idiot) waitress came back to tell me that they didn't have any APPLE pie. Then stood there struggling to remember what the pie I ordered was called. :/ But they had a modified holiday menu with only 2 desserts and my husband ordered and got the other, a cobbler, it was obvious that I was getting no pumpkin pie.

THEN, Scott attempted to stop at 2 different grocery stores to just BUY me a pumpkin pie, but we got there at 4:02 and 4:04 pm. They closed at 4 pm. So that didn't work out all that well for me. I really wanted some, but alas, there was none to be purchased.

Other than that, it was a really nice and relaxing day. Now, I just have to get up at 2:15 am to go to Old Navy and get the boys some winter clothes. Yes, I realize it's insane, but it's in the name of thriftiness. I am unemployed, after all. :/

:)

I tried to take a decent picture of the 3 of us... but that didn't work out well, lol.

I have crazy, I'll-kill-you eyes.
